Just what anyone needs this time of year (or any) and I thought I had it bad last week when I had a flat tire.
Glad you're O.K.

Perfect! Now here's how you use those balloon animals to solve your hunger problem as well. Take your balloon animals up to the maternity ward. If anybody asks you what you're doing, you're "taking a gift to your sister to celebrate her new baby!" Or, if your animals are weirdly misshapen, you tell them that they're filled with ice to put on your sister's hoo ha because she just had a baby. Either way, you've got to get to the maternity ward. Ask them where the snacks are. Because your sister also needs a snack. Hospitals always have a great supply of snacks to give out to women in labor and new moms.
Now go. Be sure to report back to let us know what you scrounge up.

How about wrapping yourself head to foot in gauze, take a "selfie" and send to your client with a "Thinking of You" card with $$$$$$.
Good thing you can joke about it. I hope they spring you soon!

Oh, swamp, I'm so sorry about the van. All that's really important, though, is that you're okay. Please let us know when the docs are through examining you. I'ma worry until I hear you're A-okay!

No wandering. Up to maternity. Id moon everyone. Not a problem. Everybody's wearing the same horrible gown. And people will feel a little sorry for you, so be less likely to stop you from grabbing armfuls of snacks.
Trust me, the gown will work in your favor. Now stop making excuses, gather up your balloon creations and go forage.

Sorry about the accident. Glad that you are okay.
It's the curse of a new car. This is in part why I won't even entertain the thought of a new one and mine will be 10 in Feb. I'll keep it driving it though.
I hope you have a heating pad to use for the next couple of days. Take care of yourself.

It's right after the holiday. She's in the ER. You can bet the nurse's lounge is full to brimming over with goodies! Just demand some.

A tire flew off a tractor trailer and totaled my van. I'm on the E R getting checked out. I'm fine, I think, just sore. Make sure you call a good lawyer Sorry I just could not resist! Seriously I hope you are ok and get the care you need including massage therapy and what not if you feel that way. I know when I was hit from behind I did 6 mos of massage therapy and it made a huge difference but I have permanent issues as a result and wish I had gone with my dad's lawyers suggestion of pursing medical damage payout. It has made an unfortunate difference in my quality of life.

Holy Crap! I hope you're ok. The car is replaceable. (P.S. Did you tell the driver you're a lawyer ) ETA I only joke because if you're posting here from the hospital you must be bored/fine/not in dire straits. The owner of the truck is my client. He's not your client anymore! Now he's the guy who's gonna buy you the car of YOUR choice.
So thankful you're not badly hurt. What a way to end the year!

Sorry Hope the soreness is short lasting and you feel better quickly. And that your van is replaced without issue. Also, if you do happen to sneak up to maternity, you can make yourself some cushy slippers!

The only fun thing to do with hospital gloves is tie knots in certain fingers blow up the rest of the glove and use the bandage tape to attach them to tongue depressors. The nurse laughed but scolded me for getting into the supplies to make them. Probably tacked them onto my bill too.

Scary. So glad you're okay. Since moving back to the East coast I don't want to drive when it's dark. Way too many deer compared to Washington state. I drive like an old lady; now my head will be spinning like an Exorcist wannabe.

Yuk on the van getting totaled - but glad to hear you're still in one piece !
That really sucks lemons -and not the lemon you should have been driving.
Those sparkly napkin slippers are a pretty good time-passer though.
Sorry your day (once again, pun intended) sucks lemons.
Maybe you can get some juice out of the idiot lemonhead who totaled it.

When you get home Take a bath with Epsom salts if you have them. It will really help the soreness.
