Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Ours is off with a bang. Literally! Shawn took me(and the children) to an orthopedic specialist today, for an issue I have been having with my shoulder. It had started to snow, we are to get up to 8" tonight. I had to get my niece off the bus, then I was going to drop her and my children off to Dad to watch while Shawn and I went to town. It wasn't snowing too much, so Shawn said I could drive. As I drove down the road, just pulling up to Dad's driveway, I saw a truck barreling down the road. I had been going around 10 mph, and quickly pulled into Dad's driveway. The truck driver tried to stop, and either lost control or he too turned toward Dad's driveway, whatever the case was, he plowed into me on the drivers door. His truck then skidded to the side and came to rest nose to back(his front to my back end) wedged against me, and pushed our suburban down into Dad's driveway. Shawn and the kids were okay, the door wedged me against the console. I started suffering with back pain, radiating up to my neck. It was almost an hour and a half before the trooper could arrive, by then it had been snowing in earnest, and quite a bit piled up. I was going to go to the ER to make sure I didn't further damage my shoulder, or re-damage my back, but decided to come home and rest and hope that helps. I didn't want to chance another accident, there would be no protection if we were hit in the drivers side again. I did take a couple of pictures tonight, I"ll post them till I can get a better shot. Be safe and watch for the other drivers!
