Re: Car Accident update Tess

[Guest guest]

Hi Tess:

Thanks for the update. I sure hope that physical

therapy will be helpful to you, and get you to feeling

better. It may take longer than the initial six weeks

because of your RA and fibro complications, so be

prepared. Just let them pamper you as much as

possible. Think of it as your relaxing time, until

they get you started in exercises, at least. How are

they going to be working with the inner ear problem?

I sure hope the other person had good insurance so

that you are not stuck with any of this expense. I am

sorry about your little car. You're right, they

probably would not give you much, not enough to buy

another car as dependable as your old one if it still

runs.

You, and everyone else here, are in my constant

nightly prayers, so you can count on me for adding in

some extra healing energy to come your way! Take care

of yourself, Tess, and remember to treat yourself with

kindness at home and rest. Your main job now is to

heal and get back to yourself. Best of luck to you

and keep us updated, kiddo! Kathe in cA
