Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Hi my friends, We just got home from another trip to Grants Pass for my father in laws funeral. After being down there last Fri/Sat, he passed away early Sunday morning. We went back down on Monday so my husband could spend time with him Mom and his siblings. On Tuesday, my husband took two of his brothers to the funeral home to deliver the clothes for his dad to wear. When he came home, he was signaling to make a left turn into his moms driveway, when an idiot decided to pass him on the left. Crunch! Right into my brand new van! My husband was transported to the hospital via ambulance. He reinjured the shoulder that he had surgery on in November. The important thing was that he and his brothers were all o.k.!!!! Needless to say, a very, very stressful week. The funeral was today, and we are finally home again. (Home, Sweet Home) I had to do all the driving since the accident. The trip home is about 150 miles and I am hurting pretty badly tonight. Plus my mom in law started to fall, and I tried to catch her and put my hip " out " . Other than that I am great. Just need a week's sleep in my own bed. I have about 100 more e-mails to get through, but just wanted to let you all know that we are home, safe and sound. Talk to you later. Love, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to call my husbands doctor this morning and see if we can get him in. His shoulder is much worse! Poor guy. I am definitely going to be resting a lot over the next few days. Have an appt with my PCP this afternoon, then other than getting the car in to be repaired, that is it. How are you doing? Sounds as if you have a lot going on right now. Sorry! Take care, Sharon ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, how is ? Please keep us informed. As a mom I know how it is to worry about our kids, no matter what the age or the circumstance. I will pray that this is not RP! Ya, I am totally worn out, but just being in my own space makes me feel better. I am just amazed that with all that has been going on, I am not flaring. Thank God for my wonderful doctor. Other than my hip, I am feeling pretty much back to normal this morning. The aches last night were from doing all that driving. You have to go through four passes and although it is freeway, it is still on some very curvy mountainess road. I had never driven it before, so it was stressful for me. I usually do the around town driving and leave the rest to Jim. Anyway, please take good care of yourself, and your daughter, and keep us all informed what you find out about her. Love, Sharon ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCP appt went well as my blood pressure was behaving itself for a change. He decided not to increase the med. YEAH! He did get me scheduled for another bone scan, which I am having in a week. Take care of yourself! Love, Sharon ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2001 Report Share Posted July 27, 2001 No rest for us wicked people. Glad blood pressure is under control, at least it was yesterday. How do they do a bone scan? Just curious...Love Sue Marth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2001 Report Share Posted July 27, 2001 Thanks Sharon, you have a great weekend too. Yes, I do know the hassle after an accident. Especially if you need a rental car. I had more problems with them. They don't want you to have it a minute longer than needed. You take care. Talk to you later. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they do a bone scan? Just > curious...Love Sue Marth > Boy, I must really be wicked! Didn't know how much crap there is to deal with after an automobile accident. I am amazed that my bp was under control yesterday with all this stress. Bone scans are simple. You just lay on a table, like an x-ray table, and this machine goes over certain parts of you and takes pictures. I think they do one hip, the spine, and the wrist. It's been six months since my last one, and wonder of wonders, I can't remember. Imagine that! No undressing, no pain, no diet restrictions other than don't take calcium, Tums, or multivitamins the day of the test. Take care Sue, and have a wonderful weekend. Love, Sharon ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2001 Report Share Posted July 27, 2001 Dear Sharon, don't let them intimidate you, and obviously you won't. As long as you have a good repair shop and insurance you should be okay. Take care this weekend and regroup...Love Sue Marth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue > Thanks Sue, I have already talked to the at fault drivers insurance and told them that I will not accept a subcompact rental car! Told them I have to have a van as that is what I am used to, and with the severity of my arthritis I cannot get into or out of a small car. They agreed! The body shop that is doing the repair is going to arrange the rental for me. So, hopefully it will go according to plan. Although I am usually very, very mild mannered, I can get mean! Especially when someone hurts a member of my family---or my new van! HA!

I have literally fought with the other ins co all day. Their appraiser has stood us up twice and yet we are being accused of being uncooperative???? It has not been a pleasant day. At least our ins is being very supportive. My husband is talking about seeing a lawyer on Mon. It is that bad! Hopefully they will leave us alone over the weekend and let us rest. The doc thinks my husband is going to be o.k. but will recheck him in four weeks. Hope you had a calm day, and if you happened to bottle any of it-send it on!

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 Dear Sharon, the other guys insurance company will try to almost harrass you into signing off on the claim. Don't sign a thing!!!! The two insurance companies will battle it out in the end. Plus with a personal injury involved they definitely want you to sign off. Talk to you later, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 Dear Sharon, just knowledge I've picked up over the years. Have had 3 accidents in my life, two involving deer and one 16 year old who slammed into me. It was the weirdest thing, she stopped at a green light because she was turning left and all of a sudden she just went and hit me in the drivers door. It was a nightmare but managed to settle for my car and an additional $1,000 because I hit my head on the drivers window. Wasn't hurt, just pissed. You have to be tough and hard headed and don't let them intimidate you. Love, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love, > Sue > I'm learning fast! They are really into games (the other insurance) and I am catching on not to let it get to me. Cool and calm under pressure will be my motto this coming week. Believe me, I am way hard-headed! My dad used to say that was from my German blood. Knew it would come in handy someday.
