Broken
A bone, but at least not my spirit.
Typing is slow, which really sucks. But thank God I have a good friend like VegasRic who will come pick me up at 2am and make sure I am ok. He let me stay over last night and took me to pick up a rental car today. He also took pics of my colorful, larger than noomal hand and will take pics of my car tomorrow (he’s a pro photog).
Tomorrow in addition to training my replacement at work, I have to call the insurance company with the injury information (I left that pending when I filed my claim), call the orthopedic doc to make an appt to get a cast on, get to my car to take pics, go to my regular doc for a previously scheduled unrelated appt, then try and manage grocery shopping and laundry by myself. JOY. And I relized today that it may be a long time before I can shave my armpits again. This sucks.
I am hoping the insurance company will total my car because I have a much lower deductible on comp than collision, plus I never liked the Kia since I had a bad experience buying it. But we’ll wait and see what the adjuster says.
Anyhoo time to go. It takes me too long to type and my hand freaking hurts.
Ugh. Looks like it hurts. Hope you’re feeling better soon.
bad news from an ex insurance adjuster… it’s not a comp claim. whether it’s totalled or not, it’s a collision. it sucks, i know, but that’s the deal. comp is when something other than a collision w/ another veh damages your car (fire, flood, theft, vandalism, falling object, etc)
thought i’d let you know so you can go into that phone call w/ at least a little knowledge under your belt.
the good news is, you called the police and they most likely will have a report, so the ins. co can’t try to claim you’re lying that it’s a hit and run.
anyway, sorry about the break…feel better soon. and regarding the armpit hair, look at it this way, you can tell your grandkids you lived as a hippy for a while.
Ouch! I am so sorry!
