I had a sleep study Monday night, dr had me take an ambien since I've been fighting insomnia. Went to bed at 10pm up at 7:15am awakend a few times at night to adjust mask & to change my position so they could test how I sleep on my back.
Tuesday morning, I took a shower & meds (including adderal) approx 7:30am. While driving home, I had an accident. I RearEnded a car at the stop sign. I remember turning at the stop light (few blocks from the stop sign), then I heard the crash. I don't remember feeling a quick stop, or my glasses flying off my face, or seatbelt tightening, just a distant crunching sound. I know got out of the truck and walked over to the gal in the white car and handed her my drivers license & insurance card. I was on auto-pilot, like I was watching myself do these things. She wrote down her info for me. And I went back to the truck, it was then that I realized I couldn't see and searched for my glasses, found them on the floor board. Somehow I drove home, called the insurance people and then went to bed.
I basically slept all Tue til Wed morning when the insurance people called my hubby & he didn't know I had had an accident yet. He called freaking out & made me promise to call my dr & demand a CAT scan or an MRI. My hubby is convinced that I had a stroke. So later when I called the dr office they told me to go to the emergency room. A friend took me into the ER.
The ER did a CT scan of head & C spine, Xrays of neck & hips, EKG, & a lot of blood tests. Of course all the test came back normal. Go figure. So they sent me home, with instructions to rest and see my primary doctor next week.
My husband doesn't want me to drive anymore. I guess I've known this would come at some point, just not so soon.
The only thing that is really different now then the last 5yrs that I have been sick, is that this time I actually had an accident. Why is it real to other people now?

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I am so sorry you had to go through this and wasn't seriously injured.
