Mike's Car Accident Details
I hate having to relate this story just because it makes me so angry. Here's what happened. On friday he hurt his back at work. He informed his supervisor and asked for a back brace. They didnt have one. Mike finished his few hours left and came home. On Saturday he went to his big fam get together (I stayed home because I have been severely sick and didnt want to risk passing it on to others). He left the party early because of the pain his back was in. On his way home he was in the right hand lane on 23 (a highway) and a lady was in the left. The lady was not paying attention and went onto the snow covered shoulder. She did the stupid thing and jerked the wheel to the right and because of how snow is she lost control and hit the back of my car. (Which I am beginning to think is cursed!). Mike somehow controlled the car during 1 and a half spins and was able to pull off. I have been thanking God since it happened that Mike was not more seriously injured and that no other cars were involved. On monday he wakes up and can barely move (he has spent the majority of the time in a recliner since then). We scheduele an appointment with his doctor. We get there (about 40 minutes away) and his doctor says he's sorry he cant treat Mike because the intial accident occured at work and the car accident just aggravated it more. Mike will have to see the occupational hazard doc. So we drive there. They call his work and say his work wont cover it because it was never reported. We go home. Mike calls Express (the employment company he has his job through). They call his supervisor. His supervisor bold face lies. He says Mike told him his back pain was unrelated from work. However its Mike's word against his super's and unless we get other co workers invovled (which would jepordize their jobs) we cant prove anything. We dont have the money for a chiropractor. to make matters worse Express is now saying he cant come back to work until a doctor clears him for work.
I'm very upset about all this. Not only are we getting bullshit run arounds but we dont have any money as well. And even if Mike did get cleared for work he couldnt go back to the company he was working for (a factory called V Converter) because his supervisor lied. In the mean time Mike is taking his dad's meds and spending all his time in a recliner and in pain.
Also Mike will no longer be going to Mystee's this weekend. Even if he could suffer through a train ride (as all we have is a van I'm pretty sure is older then I am) we wouldnt be able to afford it. I wrote her an email explaining the situation. Straight to the point and factual but I am sure she'll find a problem with it.
Despite all this there have been some good times. Mike is ok. We stood outside the other night for a few minutes enjoying the dark quiet of a snowy evening watching it snow. It was like thousands of tiny diamonds. We've been able to spend a fair amount of time together and have even managed to find ways to sleep with eachother (we usually dont because we only have a twin bed and I am apparently a very violent sleeper resulting in bruises and bloody noses). I had a nightmare and Mike was there to hold me after. I've been able to cook us nice breakfastes and dinners and we even played Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock together. I just wish he wasnt in pain. He doesnt desever this. He already has a fiancee who gets sick so easily its insane and who has issues from her own car accident and has mental issues, but now he also has his own issues.
A friend of mine says " A worrisome man goes to sleep exhausted and wakes with all the same issues." It helped me sleep last night.
I swear to God we have the worse luck ever! Instead of causing bitterness however it has brought us closer and shown us exactly how much we love and care for each other.
