Re: Car Accident Tess

[Guest guest]

Tess:

I am so very happy that you and your passenger were

not injured worse, but do watch for any symptoms to

crop up even months for now. Don't settle any medical

stuff until you have given yourself lots of time for

any new problems to surface for you because of the

accident. Wrenching an already RA and fibro ridden

body is no fun, and can cause so much more pain for

you and flares. Nothing that affects one of our

members is ever a minor thing! We care so much for

you Tess - I hope that the other person's insurance

takes care of your car for you, and takes care of any

medical that might occur. Again, watch for signing

off too soon on any medical - a wrenching like you

suffered can continue causing problems on and off for

a long time. Take care - and let us know how it all

works out -
