Well, had quite a scare about loosing my job or having to quit just recently. It all started a week ago when I worried that I was taking too much time off here and there due to my health issue from the car accident that I had almost two years ago. I had the surgery on my neck, and yet I am still having pain. There's another bad disk in there that they knew about and chose to do nothing about it. For some reason they didn't think that it was going to bug me as much as it has. Go figure. So, about $80,000 or so later, I will now have to get yet another MRI to check things out, just for them to confirm that yes, indeed my other disk that they thought wouldn't bother me is now causing me more issues. My surgery itself was a whopping $78,000. And add the various $5,000 for the chiropractor, and all of my other little co-pays, etc. and it has all added up. Not only has this accident seriously fucked up my life, but fucked up my pocket-book as well. All because some young kid was driving too fast and had a couple of accidents like this one before. He even bragged about it like it was no big deal. Nice.
Anyways, here I am a week later and my job is still safe-for now. I have yet more medical certification paperwork to have another doctor fill out, then we shall see where it leads from there. This fuckin sucks and I am so tired of all the pain. Legitimate pain. Pain that I did not cause myself, and yet the assholes at my job act like I wanted to get rear-ended, not to mention the assholes that decided that covering this kid under his mother's insurance was ok. I feel bad for the poor mom who has to deal with all of this, but you shouldn't be letting your jerk son be driving around after having multiple at-fault accidents, stupid! So maybe I don't feel all that sorry for her. But as a mother, I would think that she would have some common sense in her head. Obviously not.
On another note, going to school still, and will continue to further my education, although if I can't get healthy, don't see why it matters. I just don't want to be on long-term disability or anything like that. I deplore laziness. I couldn't imagine not having a job to go to, even if I bitch about it ;)
just plain bitchy,
accident,
