Great time hear! Hopefully everything turns out OK.Thank you both for the kind words.
I wanted to check in and give an update. The police report (finally!) came out last week.. Witnesses confirmed what we already knew; the other driver was distracted and never touched the brakes, hitting the rear of my girlfriend's Civic at approximately 60 MPH. The other driver admitted to police that her "purse fell on the floor and I bent down to pick it up. By the time I looked up, there was no time to stop." She was driving a 2012 VW Jetta. It was listed as being towed from the scene but also listed as drive-able (?) Not understanding how, but hey, maybe we all need to buy 2012 Jettas if they are that tough! Not surprisingly, the Civic was declared a total loss.
While my girlfriend didn't have any broken bones, she is suffering from a concussion, a severe case of vertigo, whiplash, and tinnitus. Both the vertigo and the tinnitus has been getting a little better day by day She's been working from home all this time - we are both so thankful for how understanding and flexible her employers have been. As long as her vertigo continues to improve, she's hoping to actually go back into the office next week.
So thanks again for everyone's well-wishes, positive comments, similar stories, etc. I am thankful every single day for waking up in the morning and seeing my girlfriend sleeping next to me. A bit melodramatic, perhaps, but the accident pictures don't lie... it could have been much, much worse.
