Sweet fancy Moses.
Mom drove the SUV into a culvert.
The airbags deployed and it was terrifying. When I had the 2003 accident, I was in the backseat with no seatbelt. Stupid, I know, but I was extremely shaken and upset. I obviously did not get hit with the airbag. Well, I found out how it feels today. Dude. I feel like Rhonda Rousey beat me like I owe her money.
That was our only car too. I don’t know much about car insurance. I hope it will pay for a rental car.
Right after mom hit the concrete water tunnel thing a woman came out and helped us. She was so nice! We went in her house and sat down. We gave her our numbers and she gave us hers. Shoot, I never found out her name!
My neck is sooo bad right now. I really hope it doesn’t last. I think I’m gonna go to my orthopaedic surgeon and have them take another x-Ray to see if it did actual damage. I’m gonna have a big bruise where the seatbelt stopped me because it hurts!
If I’m being honest….mom can’t drive well anymore. A few weeks ago she hit someone’s mailbox hard enough to turn the rear view mirrors completely in. Yikes. Sometimes she gets hit by a wave of sleepiness, kind of like I used to until I started that medication. Vivance also works. I told her to ask her doctor about Vivance. She “forgets” every time. When she gets the sleepies, her driving is downright scary, and she also inherited that lead foot from her moms side of the family 🙁
Medicare declined to pay for dad’s PT again. Assholes, the lot of them. Dad is coming home tomorrow because of that. I think he’s kinda over it. He’ll have some kind of home care person who’s supposed to help with that. I just cannot believe Medicare did that. Fuck whoever made that decision right in the aorta.
I look forward to seeing him, but I so hope he won’t be loopy. I also don’t know how I will deal seeing dad like that. He went from walking to wheelchair in a less than a month. I’m going to do my best to be supportive and I’ll be at their house a lot more.
I am so sore, didn’t think it would happen that fast because last time, it took a day or so. Thinking of waking up and being more sore? Nope. I need something strong 😭
