I think bad luck has been hovering over my head long enough now that it could probably just take a hike and bother someone else. On the way to the grocery store (it was raining so I thought I'd get my 30 minute walk in there, plus we needed shampoo), a lady cut me off and forced me to brake to a complete & sudden stop forcing the seatbelt into my abdomen. The adrenaline was immediate, and the lady who never checked her blind spot, kept going as nothing ever happened. Once I got into the grocery store, my body started trembling uncontrollably and the pain started in my abdomen. I called Geoff and told him what happened and his boss allowed him to leave. St Luke's Faxton Hospital from Utica New York, conveniently called while I waited for Geoff. They wanted feedback on my stay at the hospital. The nurse listened to what happened and suggested that I go to the hospital. I told her I didn't want to drive in this condition and was waiting for Geoff.
Once he got home, we went to the hospital straight away. They took me in to see the doctor immediately without a wait. After xrays were done, it was determined that there was no leakage from the staples, however I had very bad bruising. So bruises over bruises UGH!
A set back nonetheless, but I'm starting to get accustomed to this. Today I feel 'ok'. Still alot of tenderness and will take a couple of days for it to heal up.
As much as I was hurt from the seatbelt, I'm sure it could and would have been worse if I wasn't wearing it.
