Thank you so much everyone, its good to have the support of everyone behind me

I don't really remember much about the crash itself. I was driving to the stables from work, on a road that I travel down every single day. I was going at around 45 - 50 mph, and I know that the crash itself happened around a slight bend. I don't however, remember actually travelling around it. I remember aproaching the bend, and up until the impact, everything is a blurr. I just remember seeing a van heading straight for me, tried to swerve out of the way, and we hit head on. I don't know where either vehicle was on the road at the time, and the police have said there were no witnesses, and no marks on the road. Both vehicles ended up facing the opposite direction so we sort of rebounded off each other and spun the cars.
I remember a guy dragging me out of the car and sitting me on the pavement, and loads of people running up to me and throwing jackets and jumpers over me. Remember giving my phone to somebody and them phoning my mum and boyfriend and a lady talking to me constantly to keep me concious. I was just sitting there saying "oh my god, look at my car!"
it was my 18th birthday present from my parents and I'd only had it 2 months! When my mum got to the hospital all I kept saying was "I'm sorry about the car" - I think she was ready to throttle me after the fifth time I said it
I was so lucky though, I had some nasty cuts on my face, 2 which needed stitching, mild concussion and a broken knee cap. I was in hospital for a week, and off work for over 3 months - but still it could have been much worse!
