Car Accident

I was on my way home from a chiropractor appointment, rehabilitation for my jaw surgery. Luckily I had my “splint” in (a hard plastic retainer type thing that connects on to my braces with elastics and keeps my mouth shut and in place.) I was on I-15 north getting on the south bound (it’s a really messy spot of the freeway), anyways there was traffic, quite a bit of it. I was driving, it was stop and go traffic, the person in front of me stopped so I did too. The girl behind me hit me going about 20mph while I was stopped completely, she hit me so hard that I hit the car in front of me. I was smashed in between two cars. I was really nervous/scared about my jaw. Instantly my neck, back and jaw started hurting. I didn’t want to go get checked out, but I decided with Logan’s help that I should, rather be safe than sorry. They said everything looked okay, but that I should follow up with my jaw doctor and chiropractor. My chiro after about a week took some x-rays (luckily I had some done before the accident so we could compare them.) it was definitely worse, I then followed up with my jaw doctor in florida about 3 weeks later. He took a cat scan, he said that the accident had back tracked me about 3-5 months. I had a ton of back and neck pain for months, it hurt so bad. I ended up having to take a break from school because I would go and start bawling almost everyday after about an hour in pain. i'm so glad that my heavenly father was watching over me and that it wasn't any worse!
