Well the Canadian Winter conquered me and my little ol'car. Whilest I was returning to University to wriute my last two exmas of the year, I caught some ice or slush and lost control.

I was travelling at 100-110Km/h North on Regional HWy 11 here in Ontario. My tail started to swing out, I could not regain control, next thing I know I am upside down sliding backwards through snow.

There I was hanging upside down in the good solid steel frame contructed Buick. Still in my seat, by the seat belt the sterring wheel and me still holding the wheel. When I unbuckled, I felt like Will Smith in Men In Black as i landed.

I got out of the car by myself, and walked up the ditch to the people above. I had no visible signs of injury. I talk with the people that stopped to say I am alright, there was no one else there. One of the people was an Emerg. Room Doctor. He stayed until the police arrived. Abulance checked me out said i was in better shape than most people after something like that.

After having it towed, and file the paper work i waited and a rural OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) station just of the highway for the rents to pick me up and take me the rest of the way to University.

I am fine, though I was warned that I may feel extremely sore depressed and weka for the next week after a trauma like that. I may even get out of one of my exams.

But apparently I was too relaxed while it happened so i havent strained any muscles, and I am I guess better for it.

I will see about sketchign a small picture of what happened so show.

i went to the abulance at the seen, they did all sort s of checking inside and even the legs and feet


Then later i say the Doc in the hospitial who checked outeverything around the neck and shoulders and spine for rotattion and movenment. as well as adomenal with regards to the seat belt.

i have a list of meds i should take if i need, as well as when to apply heat or cold, or take certain meds.

all the car stereo stuff is saved.

i just got opff the phone with my mom nad dad... they are following the CAA truck back home.

They are surpirsed and glad that im not hurting after seeing it. The roof was aparently totally crushed it on most parts, . Rear View mirro on the floor, i have a snow ice packed back seat area, they found my glass case, my cds, i also had a bag of apples, and cold cuts (ham) which remained on the seat, and stayed cold with the snow.

so taht is the good news.. but my moms guess is that i should place any thoughts about it returning to the road. so I may have to look at another vehicle.

So far we are not involvign the insurance. The police accidnt report will be filed and such but for now, we would not really get anythign for it, and the cost to my lisense would be astronomical.
