I was in a similiar accident a few years ago. The day after was the worst – I felt like I’d been run over by an 18-wheeler. I declined to go to the hospital right after the accident (I felt fine!) – but the next AM I hauled my sorry aching self to the ER. The staff there saw the lovely bruises across my chest (which sprang up overnight) and told me they were a badge of honor, for the pattern of the marks indicated I’d been wearing my seat belt.

Glad to hear they were wearing theirs, and that his frat brothers wisely got him to the hospital. There was an accident in our region the other day that killed four of the five kids who were in the vehicle. No one was wearing a seat belt. A parent’s worst nightmare.

Are you close enough to check in on him this weekend/have him come home for rest/a visit with a local doc?
