Still Sore

It has been over a week since my accident, and I am still sore.
I am thankful that it is better at some points in the day.  I am just praying and taking it day by day.
I took my car in on Monday to be fixed.  Before I took it in it looked like this:
 
It does not looks so bad, but there is quite a bit of damage on the car.  I am thankful that I was put in another Sienna.  I love driving my sienna, and I feel very comfortable driving this Sienna as well.
I am also glad that the insurance companies have determined that I was not at fault.  I knew that I was not at fault, but I was still nervous weighting.

Looking back this accident has effected me in so many ways.
  • I had to stop breastfeeding my baby.  
    • I was not emotionally ready for this
    • He was not emotionally ready for this
  • I am sore, and doing the simple, everyday tasks has become very difficult for me to do
    • I have a hard time cooking, cleaning, sitting with my children
    • Playing with my children
  • Working out
    • I can't work out.  I have been working hard to lose weight, and now I am at a stand still and I am afraid that I am not going to get back to working out.
  • Screeching Tires
    • Every time I hear them I have to stop what I am doing and take a deep breath.  This was the sound I heard right before I was hit.
It is just amazing to me that a simple accident that took seconds has effected me in so many ways.  I want my life to go back to normal.  I want my car back.  I want to be able to clean and play with my children with out pain and suffering.  I know that one day I will have it again.

I will never take for granted all that I did before.  I have seen how things change so quickly.
