After the fabulous closing night of Lysistrata and a wonderful birthday party for [livejournal.com profile] surrealestate and DD's darling Tadpole, [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom and I were crossing the street this evening when we were hit by a car. It was making a left turn into the street we were crossing; the driver had probably slowed for the turn but didn't seem to slow at all to avoid hitting us; he did pull over a ways down the block and come back. There were lots of witnesses, among them [livejournal.com profile] anomie666 who happened to be on a bus that was passing and who stayed with us through the whole evening. He is a wonderful person and he deserves a medal and some really good Scotch.

All the emergency vehicles (at least two police cars, a fire truck, an ambulance, and eventually the tow truck to take away the driver's car since he left in other accommodation) had enough flashing colored lights for a Somerville Christmas. We declined the ambulance since we were just a few blocks from the hospital and the paramedics wanted to put us in back and neck braces and that seemed over the top (neither of us had hit our heads or had spine pain). [livejournal.com profile] anomie666 walked with us to the hospital.

The ER experience was quite good; everybody was very nice and we were treated very well. We both got lots of X-rays. I got the brunt of the impact, but I'm just banged up a lot and swollen and bruised. [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom has a small fracture in her elbow (a radial head fracture), probably from when she landed. (I was thrown over the hood of the car, into [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom who was also clipped by the car.) They gave her a splint and a sling, which is going to be a hassle for a while. We're both on industrial-strength ibuprofen and I'll be icing for a while. (Fortunately, [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom had some bags of edamame in the freezer. :-)

Well, it wasn't the evening we were expecting, but at least we spent it together. [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom, I love you through thick and thin.

What a scary experience! You are both very lucky that you were not more seriously injured. If I can help you out in any way (such as shopping or bringing stuff to Mare's place), let me know.

Gack! I'm sorry that happened to you, but I'm so very glad that it wasn't worse. God, it must have been terrifying! *hug* *hug* *hug*

Wow! Remembering to wish me a happy birthday after you've been hit by a car is mind-bogglingly wonderful of you. Quadruple thanks!

Owie!

And from what I know about the US medical system, I hope the driver is paying for EVERYTHING!

Also, when you feel sore, or shaky, or whatever, take it easy. Take painkillers. Do NOT try to be a hero. That goes for both of you.

*gentle hugs*

Oh my gosh! Obviously, this is giving me flashbacks of my own experience. Thankfully the car was turning, at least, which forced it to slow down. I'm glad nothing too bad happened, but it still sounds like a hell of a way to spend the evening. Both of you feel better!

Egad! I'm glad you're not any worse off than you are.

I was also lucky when I got hit by a motorcycle a few years ago. Although I was thrown about 10 feet through the air and did land on my head, I was just a bit gimpy for a couple of weeks and only suffered a very mild concussion. I had to be talked into going to the hospital to check myself out.

I hope your bumps and bruises and [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom's fracture heal quickly and with as little pain as is necessary!
