I was just in a car accident.

The trunk and back end of my car are smashed in and my back, neck and head are very sore. Please pray for me!

Nick:
You are in my prayers. I hope you will feel better soon.

With your recent string of "bad luck", might I suggest you have a moleben served? One certainly in thanksgiving that you were spared in your accident and another one for help and guidance.

It can't hurt...... Milla

:shock: Praying! Did you pray to God that he teach you patience or something, Nicholas

Dear Nik,

That's horrible, but thank God you're alright! I'll keep you in my prayers.

Bro Nicholas,

IMO luck has nothing to do with it, your faith is being tested, as Job was, aka by the evil one.

Again I will pray for you & family.

Thank you all for your prayers and responses. Here is a quick update:

Here is a quick update, as sitting for more than a few minutes hurts my back. I was waiting to merge on to Route 15 when I was hit from behind. The estimate of a few people is around $6-7,000 of damage to the car. My attorney will be getting the insurance company to do a proper estimate at the body shop with folks he trusts. There is a slight chance that they will total it out because of the frame damage in addition to the rear quarter panels, bumper and trunk needing replaced.

Code: Select all

    The doctor gave me Naproxen to stop the inflammation and help the pain. He said that although I am in pain and stiff today, tomorrow will be much, much  worse. Not fun! :-(  
 
    For the next 2 days I am supposed to lay around sleeping as much as possible and ice my back and neck. I also have therapy with a chiropractor/therapist every day of this week. My medicine will make me sleepy and maybe dizzy so I have to take it with food and cannot drive after taking it, so I will be taking it after I take Anastasia to school, after I pick her up and before bed, as I have to take it thrice a day. :-/ 
 
    Like I said, I am supposed to ice it for the next few days. When muscle spasms come after that I am supposed to use heat. All in all kind of a bummer of a day, but at least the injuries were not to severe! They could have been worse. :-) 
 
    I will try to check online every now and then, but as I said, sitting hurts, so I would like to ask all of your prayers please.

Wow, it must be something about September 9th. 3 years ago, I had a head-on collision while driving my parent's van on the same date. A couple months after that, I managed to drive my own car into a guardrail (black ice). You have my sympathies & prayers. Molebni are always good, we had one after each of my accidents.
A friend of mine, who I called after the first accident, & joked about it, died 3 weeks later when the truck she was riding in rolled over. Took me a while to get over that God chose for her to die, (she was much nicer, & definately much more pious than me), while that accident, as far as damages wasn't as bad as my first one.
Anyway, thank God your alive, & I pray for your speedy recovery.
