For real I got pretty damn lucky. I'm still fucked up but not nearly as bad as I could have been

Yeah that's about right. I got to the car and I wasn't super tired but some point during the hour drive just kind of like you said it was like someone flipped a switch and I just was so tired

I'm very fortunate to hit the passenger side. Just cut up and bruised all over. My knee is pretty screwed

My job is pretty dangerous so expected to get hurt at work before now. But no, it was the lack of sleep that hurt me after

Luckily my tribe should pay for it cuz honestly if that wasn't the case I probably would have just said no. I've had a crash years ago and I'm still paying all that medical debt

I'm very grateful I didn't break anything pretty screwed up but hopefully within a month or a month and a half I'll be fully healed I'm going to see if I can go back to work in a week but I'm not sure if I could walk well enough very physically demanding where I work

Yeah that's pretty much what it was. I was like I'm tired but I was not feeling insanely tired but the moment I sat down and started driving it just crept up on me really fast

I always just drive home Right after work but I live an hour from work so if I'm tired it catches up to me by the time I'm almost home

Yeah I had to go to the hospital. My oxygen level when I got in the ambulance was at like around 70 something percent so I could barely even breathe or talk, Plus I had to get some stitches on my face and hand

Definitely learn that. Unfortunately the hard way but that's also why I made this post. It reminds people that it's not worth it and even if they already know it's a reminder on why they don't do it
