Back behind the Wheel
Today, 1 week after the accident, I found myself driving again. For me, the scaredy cat that I am, it was REALLY difficult. I got nervous at the sight of any car looking as if they were crossing my lane.
On our way home, I hear a car screech as the driver stepped on his brakes. My heart stopped... and then I could feel my heart beating twice as fast as normal... Being a passenger and a driver is just so nerve racking for me...
I start physical therapy on Monday... feeling residual effects from back and neck injuries caused by the accident. I have what feels like "pinched nerves" making it seem as if my whole shoulder area on both sides fell asleep, giving me that numbing feeling.
Recovery is happening slowly but surely, but we will have to wait and see how long it will take for me to trust other drivers on the road again!

Just remember FEAR stands for False Evidence Appearing Real. Just let it go and drive on with your bad self.
