Updates. The Worst Month Ever
Journal Entry: Tue Jul 1, 2008, 10:16 AM
So last month really sucked for me and now that it's all over, I can vent and say Good Riddance to June.
It started off with some complications that ultimately forced me to move out of where I was staying, which was the best place in the world for several reasons. I had to move in with a good friend who seemed to be having just as bad a time as I. Shortly after moving in, his hot water heater went kaput and we had to find other places to shower and stuff. Shortly after all of that, Autumn and I hit a rough spot. I blame it on the stress of the situation.
And because of the aforementioned situation causing me to move out, I also had a court date which stressed me out to no end. The actual case went well, and it was open and shut. But it still stressed me out up until that point. I expected everything to fall back into place after that, but that
was a silly thought. Things were still sour between the two of us, and we needed a break. Bummed out and confused, all I could do to function properly was concentrate on work and my daily routine. But even that was plagued with the fear of losing her.
Things became hard at work, and even thought I maintained 100% quality the entire time, it took way more effort than it should have. And on top of all of that someone cut my phone chord, popped the keys off of my keyboard and various other destructive things. Maintenance looked at me and told my team manager to have a talk with me because they assumed that I did it. I had to explain and explain and use alibis to keep from getting fired for destruction of company property.
And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse... with another random spat with Ami, I needed to go see her for a day. So we planned Sunday to hang out, but on the way... it had been raining and the roads were really slick... and on top of all that I had to drive on some really backwoods roads... the ones where people's "driveways" consisting of nothing but loose gravel washed out into the road making it even less drivable.
So I took this turn... slowing down like normal, tapping my breaks... but the car wouldn't slow down neither would it turn. I flew through the curve, into a ditch and ran head on into a tree at about 30-40 MPH. The entire front driver's side wrapped around the tree. I don't even remember the initial impact nor do I remember the airbags deploying. All I remember thinking is "oh shit, my car us gone... but more importantly Autumn will be worried. I stumbled out and flagged down a very rare passer-by on these god-forsaken roads. She was very kind, but all I could think to say to her was "I need someone to contact Autumn for me, I need to let her know I am ok" She had someone go call 911, and I was taken to the nearest hospital and my car was towed. Over the shock of it all, my blood pressure rose and my vision went out. I was still aware of everything but I could not see. When my vision was restored, I saw the kind lady who had been calming me down the whole time, and telling me that my life was more important than the car. I said "I know, but I still need to contact Autumn" but no one's phone could get a signal. At the hospital, I finally had access to the phone... but they had already gave me pain meds and I could not, for the life of me, remember Autumn's number. After about an hour, I finally spouted out a number. It turns out it wasn't Autumn's, but instead my mom's number. I let everyone know I was ok and stuff... and then they took me in for several scans. Autumn showed up along with my mom and her dad, upset of course and apologizing for everything. She is always such a sweetheart. Upon examining the scans, everything looked ok... until a surgeon noticed an odd spot on my brain that seemed to be slight bleeding. They had to rush me to a hospital hours away because it was too advanced for them to handle.
After way too much time spent under CT scan machines and MRI devices... they concluded that the spot on my brain was just an over sized vain.
So now I am home... a little bit sore and very car-less. But I am doing ok. I have lots of work to do with insurance and all of that bullshit... so wish me luck!
