Well, yeah it is recent past though ((((ww)))) I'm an emergency responder (civilian, trained) and fully understand that now... it is difficult to have to backboard someone who is having difficulty breathing too
My PT is always cautioning me to not be too close to the steering wheel, because of the airbag and what it could do to my already fragile body. But it's nearly impossible for me to drive with my knees bent and be far away!

Well, I hope you get to talk about this IRL, as it will help you truly get over it and not stuff it... these things need to be shared over and over usually.
TC!
