Need to vent....not angry but sad.....and feeling sorry for myself.....

 

On Jan. 13th I was driving on icy roads and took on a gravel truck with my van....I lost - big time!!! - when all was said and done, the motor was under my feet, the bumber 8 inches behind the frame and I was taken by ambulance to the hospital, treated and released. No broken bones, some mild bruising, loose teeth from the airbag hitting under my chin. (the teeth have since tightened up and the dentist said there are no cracked teeth and my jaw isn't broken). Most pain is in the chest, back & arms.

I was an EMS provider for 10 years and have seen far worse injuries from way less vehicle damage & impact. I have the prespective that I am SO fortunate to be in one piece, but am feeling sorry for myself as I'm nauseated from the pain medications, still don't quite have the pain in control, not sleeping at through the night (from injuries) in physiotherapy, massage, chiroprator almost daily and the wedding is approaching very quickly. Now I have a horrific head cold to add to the fun.

I have wonderful support, have the best care providers, but am feeling overwhelmed, disappointed and selfish for feeling sorry for myself..........

I'm hoping babbling will shake me out of this funk....thanks for listening..

I am feeling your pain.

I was just released from hospital and I leave for my wedding in 6 days.

It has just put things into perspective for me. Some things just aren't important...I am so sorry for your pain, as I am also in a lot.

Go ahead and feel sorry for yourself. It has been a lot of planning, but I am sure everything will be okay.

Best wishes!!!

So sorry to hear that. I am very glad that you are (mostly) okay. I hope that this does not impact your wedding in any way. On the up side, you have one more thing to celebrate at the wedding - your life. All the best for a speedy recovery and fabulous wedding.

I'm so glad to hear that you're okay! It sounds like it could have been so much worse. I'm so sorry you're in so much pain now, especially with the wedding so soon. The stress must be intense, I hope you have enough time to relax and heal. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Oh wow! THank God you're ok! I know it seems horrible, but it could be sooo much worse! I feel for you sad.gif.

I have to say ErikaJ is my hero. That poor girl had to have surgery done very close to her wedding, but her spirits were so high and I think that REALLY hepled her recovery process.

 

I know it sucks, but stay positive! And we're here to listen whenever you need us :)

What a blessing you don't have more serious injuries! Focus on the positive and do what the doctors tell you to do. Make sure you tell them what pain meds are making you nauseous. They can adjust your prescription or provide something else that won't make you feel worse than you already do.

 

Take care.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
