Near Death Experiance: I Got Hit By A Car! (This is True)

Hey there people. You are probably looking at the title and wondering what it is all about. Or you saw my Facebook status and wanted the details of my little... experience. So yeah, here it is. I'll give it all. I got hit by a car. It's true. I'm fine. Now, listen to my story. (Hahaha, so cheesy sounding.)
So yesterday, my whole family (My mom, my older brother, two of my younger brothers and my sister) were supposed to go on a plane to Hilton Head, South Carolina for our vacation. My step-dad was coming from Ottawa to meet us there. Our flight was at 4:30 but we left a little early so we could go to the library and CVS. Well, as we were going up the driveway, the car all packed, everything ready for our flight, the mail-man drove up.
Now, I must just take a minute to explain a bit about my street. I live on a pretty busy street. The speed limit is 35 but everyone drives at least 45, and if you drive the speed limit they beep at you. Our mail box is then across the street. It's to save gas for the postal service I guess, all the mailboxes on one side of the street. Stupid if you ask me.
So, I went across the street to grab the mail from the mail man. "Isn't the mail being stopped today?" he asked me, for we had stopped it for our trip. "We're leaving right now," I told him, as he handed me the mail. I then looked past him to see the expanse of street behind him to the left of us, and then I turned looked to the right and saw no one there so I began to cross. But, while I had been turning to the right and walking the length of the mail truck, a woman had driven up on the left side. I didn't see her because the mail truck was in my way, and she didn't see me for the same reason. All she saw was my mom at the top of the driveway, about to pull out. Thinking that she would beat her she sped up right as I stepped out and BOOM! She hit me.
All I remember is seeing the car; I didn't even realize it was going to hit me. My mom said I must have seen the car behind instead as I was being hit. For that's when I went blank. The next thing I knew I was in an ambulance surrounded by strange men who were poking me and injecting me with things. I had forgotten everything that had happened that day. It felt like a dream that I was having on Friday night or something, that the whole thing was a dream. But being in the ambulance made me realize what was really happening. I felt tear on my cheek, I hurt in all different places, I had a neck brace on, and when I pinched myself... nothing happened. So I freaked out, and I feel sort of bad for the ambulance guys. I kept asking them what color shirt I was wearing and if my toe-nails were painted, to see if all of Saturday had been a dream or not. Then I started asking for my mom and telling them to call my dad. I slowly remembered what happened, getting the mail, seeing the car, etc.
My mom said I woke up before the ambulance. While I was on the ground and she was holding me. She said I was talking to her and the noise of the ambulance was what made me cry, it was what made it real. I'm glad I can't remember that though. Seeing al the neighbors around and the car that hit me wouldn't have been a good experience. They say I cracked the wind shield and dented the hood. I flew up, hit the windshield and the hood with my left side then fell onto the pavement on my right side, scraping my elbow, my head, and my hip.
The ambulance took me to the hospital where they took me to the emergency trauma center. Yeah, that's right; I'm a trauma patient now. Wooh! Well, on to my story. I got a cat scan so they could take off the neck brace and after that they x-rayed my knee, my pelvis, and my back. Everything was fine, thank god. I went back to my little room where they took out my iv's, gave me crutches and a knee brace, and sent me on my way. Weird, huh? I got hit by a car and I didn't even stay over night, six hours max.
So now I'm fine. Very achy, but fine. My left knee and upper left shoulder are hurting but everything appears to be fine. I'm glad it's not my right shoulder, and then I wouldn't be able to write!!! Well, I'll be good soon. I have a knee brace and all that, but it's good. We're actually going to Hilton Head today. I feel well enough to be put on a plane. Funny huh? So I'll update the blog sometime after the 28th. I'll bring more info about the woman who hit me and stuff. Until then.
Much Love,
Abundant Felicity,
