I have been "Clowed"...

For most of you, the title of this post makes no sense at all, but for some of you, you will read that line and laugh. Let me recap what being "Clowed" means for all of you.

In college, I had a term that was dubbed for me, not because I was cool or anything, but because so many weird and strange things happened to me. The term was called being "clowed". When weird, awkward stuff happened, my friends would just say you have been clowed. This caught on and anyone who was close to me was soon "clowed". My sweet husband has been "clowed" many times. I guess it is fitting now, that I have been "tonned" or you have been "tonned".

Well this week, Tuesday to be exact, on the way to work I was "clowed". I was driving down Beltline and was stopped at at intersection of Nix and Beltline and I was rear-ended. Rear-ended so hard that my sunglasses came off. Needless to say all of this moment was a blur and I just remember saying holy crap what just happened. I proceeded to get out of my car and see that the damage was not that great, but I knew that I got whiplashed. So I proceeded to pull over with the person behind me that hit me. Got all his information and drove off. Not knowing that the whiplash would hurt me more than I thought.

I get to work, about 10 minutes later, and I am hurting. The pain has moved from not only my head to now my neck and to my back. I spent 1 1/2 on the phone and I was on my way to the doctor. After driving around finally found a place that would see me. They took a few xrays and said I should be sore. Here are some muscle relaxers and go rest.

Fast forward to today. I am hurting so bad it makes me want to cry. Sitting, walking, standing, almost everything hurts. I went to the chiropractor yesterday and they didn't do much, but told me I need to get a lawyer because the insurance might not pay. Needless to say that was frustrating. I decided to go back to work today, probably not the best idea, but I did it. Its lunch time and I don't know how much longer I can go. After every call I just want to scream from the pain. The lawyer is coming out tonight, so we will see if we need him after all.

This week has been one of those "clowed" weeks. On top of the accident and hurting, I got summoned for jury duty in April. This is just Matt and I's life. I need to write a book.
