K,
Sorry to hear about the accident. It's good to hear the xrays came back OK.
I'll share this so you don't feel alone in all of this: when I traveled to The Texas Back Institute in 2003 for my stateside ADR evaluation I was rear ended
on the way home from my appointment with Dr. Guyer. My rental car was not hit hard, but when I got out of the car to speak to the woman that hit me she acted like it was no big deal. This really pissed me off because she didn't grasp how I was already suffering from back pain and this accident flared me up instantly. The next day I went to my discogram that Dr. Guyer had already scheduled.
I agree with you: too bad lady, this is going through insurance--good for you.
Best of luck on the 16th...I've been crossing my fingers and toes but it's getting a little difficult to walk around like this.
