Update on my close facsimile of a day in hell

I want to let anyone who reads this blog know that I’m okay. I haven’t taken a happy pill in two nights, which means I don’t feel groggy at 7 AM. My neck and right arm are still a little sore. I’m way behind at work due to missing a good part of Tuesday and Wednesday and frankly feeling like crap for a few days did not help me be productive. My truck has over $6500 in damages. Thank God for insurance. But now I have to negotiate Michigan’s no-fault policies which means that to get my deducible back, I’ll have to file a claim on the other driver’s insurance (which is a school district) while my insurance company will be stuck for all but $800 of the bill.

The Winter Olympics end this weekend. Even though Team USA hasn’t been a dominate on the ski hills as I was hoping, it was fun to watch Julia Mancuso attack the hill last night and win the gold. Now if Miller can do the same today… Come Sunday night, I’ll be back to watching movies and reading books.

  1. Glad you're okay. I am a little disappointed at how the USA Team faired this time especially with figure skating which is my favorite.

    Cheers from Michele.

  2. Thanks for the update. I am glad your soreness is waning - get into that hot tub, if you can.

  3. WOW! I can't believe you got hit by a bus too! I hope you are feeling better and that you get the money back for your deductible. Feel better and rest a lot.

  4. Christa, I'd forgotten that you were hit by a bus... My driver was nicer, from what I remember from your experience. I went to the gym the first time since the accident today and it felt good--and yes Kenju, they have a nice whirlpool!

  5. Since you are in a no fault state and your insurance company picks up all the tab but the deductible, are your premiums also going to go up even though it wasn't your fault? Could you then sue for increased premiums?

    Glad to here that you are feeling better.
