MRI

So since my car wreck that was Wednesday, the 3rd of February, I had gotten some x-rays done at the Chiropractor. The x-ray had shown that my virtebrae in my lower back were not aligned at all. In fact, they were off by almost an inch. Which doens't seem like a lot, but apparently when it comes to your back, that's pretty major. The chiropractor told me that this means there is most likely a fracture somewhere in my lower back that caused it to shift that much. She (my chiropractor) scheduled for me to get an MRI on the following Monday. That Sunday i went to church and it was pretty awesome, as usual. Then came Monday. My appointment was at 3:45, and it came all too soon. I've had a few MRI's in the past. I don't tend to like them, cause they're loud and they always give me headaches. At the MRI place one of their office workers goes to my church, she recognized us! And although that was prettycool, this MRI was worse then the ones in the past. I had to sit up straight the whole entire time, which was about 45 minutes total. It hurts my back really bad to sit, especially to sit straight up. But when the MRI was over I was told that they would send the report and results to my Chiropractor on Wednesday. Then Tuesday when i went in to the Chiropractor for my appointment she told me that she had already gotten the results from the MRI company that i had seen the day before. The receptionist brought the report to my chiropractor while i was in her office with my mom. And the report said that i for sure do have a fractured back. One of my vertibrae has popped out of it's place and got shoved under and behind a different one. They said that there may be an actual crack in the vertibrae, but if so, it is very small. When i heard all of this all i wanted to do was to cry. when i had first gotten my car my dad kept on telling me to be very careful cause if i get in a wreck then that's it, there's nothing to replace it with, and no money to replace it with either... Then only 4 weeks later i get in a wreck. It wasn't even my fault! I worked so had to keep my car safe and clean, and just to keep it in general. But no. It is now totaled, and i wasn't even the one who did it. The wreck wasn't my fault at all. But i couldn't avoid it. I saw the truck was going to hit me, and if i moved out of it's way i would've hit someone else. So there was nothing i could do to avoid it. I couldn't get out of it's way. I just saw it hit me. Then as if it's not enough for my car to be totaled, i have a broken back from it too! The doctor told me that i don't have to have surgery, the way they fix it is to pop the broken vertibrae back in it's place. Then we strengthen the muscles around it to make sure they hold it in place. But right now i have too much inflamation and soreness to be able to do that. I have to wait til this Friday, the 19th, then they can try to pop it back in... Eventhough this really sucks and i'm always in pain, i know that God is with me. He has been with me from before the wreck even happened. And i know that He works all this together for my good! I found out Wednesday that the insurance company is giving me more money for my totaled car than it's even worth! The KBB value of it is only about 600 dollars. We paid 800 dollars in January. Then they offer in 1,074 dollars for it! That is just one of the ways that God is providing for me! And one of the ways He is turning what the enemy meant for bad, into good! So i am hoping that i will get my dream car out of this! :) I am praying for a Jeep Cherokee! But no matter what i know that God will provide for me. So in the mean time, please be praying for me and that my back will heal soon. [the doctor said that i'll be out of all activities for a good 6-8 weeks]
