call 911........call 911
I was driving myself to get a flu shot and got T-boned at an intersection by an SUV that was doing 55 in a 35 mph zone. DF was passenger....I was driving. Temporary paralsyis in back sent me to the ER (kinda scary huh?) and the van none the worse for wear. Something to be said for a 3/4 ton all metal Dodge product. Yeah no airbags....you get that look when people say "WOW Did your air bags deploy?, and you answer -----"Well it doesn't HAVE airbags, and the seatbelt is held down by two fishing sinker weights and the chair came out of the bolts."
Other than feeling like we got rammed by a bison? The van has minimal damage. Front fender, blinker, stuff out of alignment, bumper bent.....but the other guys car was like cartoon ville - Hit us, and junk fell off. His foreign SUV maker rhymes with A Soda.
SO haven't been on here much, missed some work, missed a lot of phone calls, and actually garnered sympathy from the old Dude. MOM? CALL ME NOW!! NOW.......NOW. (ROFL) yeah like you can do that inside a CT scan.....I'll be right there boy."
I have not gotten an atty, have no idea what all this is about.....just know I'm sore, stiff, cranky - (anyone else have irritability with (yeah don't laugh) Naproxen?) WOW....not a good mix for me - grrrrrr. It's like super Aleve right? Not for me. For me it's like attitude in a bottle. Can't find them today - but did find a bottle of Aleve on the counter this morning with DF's urging me to TRY THOSE. lol.
Okay so anyway.....why does someone get an attorney and not let the insurance company settle this? The kid has same insurance as us. And he stated at the crash......OH THIS IS going to RUIN me. Yeah? It's an accident. That wasn't as bad as the look on his face as when the officers started pulling up going 'Shes a first responder?" and more came and more came.......and the kid was freaking...and I'm thinking to myself.....WOW this is nice. Before the job can you ever get an officer to respond? noooooo Now I work for them and WOW.....that was kinda coool......o and if you were single and liked men in uniform (and I'm not saying I do) but....possibly there was eye candy there for someone. (hey I was paralized from the neck down not the eyes up) ....lol. Nothing wrong with my vision. lol.
Hugs and have an awesome day......
OH and by the way - just FYI - In trucking school we were taught to count 1 (pause) 2 (pause) 3 (pause) before proceeding through a green light at an intersection - DUE to the fact that people often run red lights. HAD I NOT observed that rule? I would have been T boned in the side of the van or rear quarter and had lots worse damage. What I failed to do was look left and right and left again. (I was talking and not paying attention to the road) Wouldn't have mattered though I doubt I could h ave stopped in time to avoid him at the speed he was going. He put the van up on 2 passenger side wheels..FUN ------
