(sorta x-post from the question about "what was your greatest pain?")

when i was 14, i was in a car accident in which i was ejected from the car at about 40 miles per hour, on a country road, heading with my cousins to our uncle's 4th of july party.

apparently, after the accident, i got up and walked to the nearest house, let myself in and laid down on their living room floor.

i remember the beginning of the accident, the leaves brushing up against the window (we hydroplaned sliding off the road into a tree), but nothing else until i came to on the floor of these people's house. i didn't know i had been in accident. i thought i had awoken from a nightmare. i thought i was at my uncle's house and that the people there were from my aunt's side of the family that i didn't know. i even got up and walked around, multiple broken bones, collapsed lung and all. must have been in shock.

funny thing -- when they asked me if i was alright, i told them that i was okay, and that it was just a dream, that must have freaked them out a little bit. it was about then that the paramedics arrived and i realized how covered in blood i was.

then it started to hurt. a lot.

anyway, 20+ years later and i still don't remember a thing.
