I got hit on Wednesday night. I was making a left turn across traffic and guess I didn't see the car. I really don't know- I remember the impact, but don't remember about 30 seconds before the impact. Anyway, the ER dr. only gave me 4 days off work, that is up tomorrow. I am still in a crapload of pain, even with taking Norco. I am going to the regular dr today. how much time should I be asking for off? The worst pain is in my right low back/ hip area. It hurts to walk, it hurts to sit, it just hurts. That one is a sharp pain, where all the others are just achy owies. My breasts are purple, my tummy is purple, it hurts to breathe deeply, I can't exert the pressure needed to open the stupid child safe pain pill bottle! I am thinking 2 weeks to really let my body heal, what do you guys think? I know several have had accidents here, would like to hear your stories. Oh, it was an expedition vs my mazda protege. heard the emt saying there was about 1/2 foot intrusion on the passenger side. It hit my car by the front of the passenger door and was going 35-40 mph.
