Special_talent123 Report post Posted June 29, 2011 Last week, I went to Bristol by myself on the coach... So i left at midnight and i managed to cope with the change overs and got there with no problem. I went to bristol to ' NAS South West' event. Any way on the way back from Bristol , coach left just after 4:15pm- In bath, we had crashed into a car. Alls i can remember is there were a big bump like someone fell over, but i looked ahead photos were being took of coach and a car,and the police were there. I didnt know if i bumped my head but i do know after i came out the toilet i didnt remember were i were sitting, even when got home don't remember going to bed. I had gone to hospital on saturday - as i weren't well, to find that i have concussion (mild), they said if not better by monday, give gp a call. So i did and my GP said that my muscle has spasmed up, i think she said something along the lines of ' It's not concussion, but whiplash' My psychological well being has been affected- recurring flashbacks and now i feel dizzy going on a bus and sick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Archie Report post Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) I can empathise with Special Talent here. I had an accident myself on the 29th July this year. I have broken my left Arm and three meta-carpals, while woo hoo to the time off work i have to say boo to the disturbed routine Edited August 25, 2011 by Archie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
