Car crash (worst day ever)

pes_laul · August 1st, 2009, 10:13 PM

So today was the day of my big show right. well I go to bassisst house and we plack up all our amps and ride to drummers hosue in itty bitty car to rehearse for show. well that goes good then we leave and its pouring rain on the way there and some jack *** misses his turn and decides it's a great idea to slam on the brakes to make it. well we rear end him so hard it totals the car. and we get out and see if everyones ok. well I wasnt so "okay" when the police and ambulance got here they checked me out and said it was a good idea to bring me to the hospital. so a bumpy ride to the hospital in the ambulance (ow) we get there and I have to get Xrays and all that stuff. well I got bad rib and chest contusions and all that jazz.

ughh....car crashes are scary

Sorry man. That is no fun at all. Hope it all heals quickly!

Yikes.. no show and the hospital... sending mojo your way!

Pes, glad to hear you're ok little brother. I've only been in one car wreck, but those things are scary. Property can be replaced, people can't.

I will never forget the sound! We were inches away from a head on collision and were able to "sideswipe" each other. The sound of the collision and the force scared the hell out of me. That was in a brand new 1969 Camaro, it is as vivid today as then.

Glad to hear you are okay considering how bad it could have been. You probably got the injuries in the ambulance, those things have about as smooth a ride as a covered wagon from the 1800's.

Glad to hear you're okay, car crashes are very scary.

Make sure you keep on top of any medical issues. You're young so you should heal quickly, but if you don't feel well or start to feel strange or weird, get to a hospital and have them check it out.

Yikes!! Hope you're healing well and fast.

**mrmudcat** · August 2nd, 2009, 09:22 AM

Kidding brother hope your ok!

Well today I was even more sore. can't lift my arms very good.

We got the gutiars out and stuff but I lost my glasses: they flew off when we hit and I was so shocked standing in the rain getting questioned by paramedics and cops and all that stuff.

but thank god for my seatbelt if it werent for that: game over.

I'm still having trouble breathing and moving so I cant really play or sing for abotu 2 weeks.

Mojo sent your way.

A woman lost control in the rain on July 1st & crossed the lane & rammed into me.

Luckily no-one was hurt.

Get well soon, Pes! Let this be lesson #287 in "Why seat belts are a good thing." You are sore now, but you will heal. Otherwise, well, let's just say the loss of your glasses would have been the least of your concerns.

Before we had our accident in Indiana, my mother-in-law didn't understand why I was so A.R. about how the kids were in their car seats. After all, we didn't have car seats growing up. Well, after that accident and the damage done to the car, she understood. If they had been loose, they would at least have been thrown around the cabin. As it was, they were looking at me like, "This is a really stupid place to stop the car, Dad."

Pes, glad to hear you have survivied what could have been really bad. Heal soon as that acoustic will need you soon.

**Jimi75** · August 2nd, 2009, 11:45 AM

Oh darn! That sounds terrible.
Sending mojo your way, get well soon!

Kris, we're all glad you're OK. That seat belt IS a good thing. There was a wreck here last Thursday involving 2 car loads of kids. The daughter of one of my co-workers (and friend) was thrown out of her car and it flipped 3 or 4 times and rolled over her. She has a crushed pelvis, several broken bones, possible head injuries and was on breathing tube until yesterday. She's in a lot of pain and is sedated. Of course, she wasn't wearing her seat belt. Her boyfriend was driving and racing the other car and lost it in a curve.

Buckle up and stay safe. Remember my friend in your prayers.

Oh, and don't miss any opportunities to tell someone you love them. It only takes the blink of an eye...

Glad to hear that you're o.k!
It's so easy to get into an accident, it can happen in a split second.

I hope you have a speedy recovery and get back to some things that you enjoy such as playing your music.

good your okay, Pes.

all your bandmates okay?

like strum said, half of your injuries are probably from the journey to the hospital.

a fracture turned into a snap on the way to the hospital for a friend once.
