good news, bad news
Good news
my attorney forward me a check for $400 from the insurance company to fix my bike and clothing
The bad news
I got told I need three more weeks of PT Maybe buying that bent is a good idea after all (If I can only get the settlement money)

Are you in pain? Do you have someone to help you around the house? I hope you are doing better. I did a couple of miles for you today.

[Fredwina]

no pian , except for when put wieght on it (though I'm supposed to get more home exercises)

[NbyNW]

Glad to hear you're on the mend! Hope the PT goes well. Keep us posted!

$400? That doesn't seem like enough

Presumably that's not her settlement, that's just the damage to the bike and clothes (which must have been what she asked for). When I had my accident, I quickly got a check for the bike damage based on an estimate from my bike shop for what it cost to replace my bike since it was totalled, but the settlement, which include the medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering comes later. I didn't think to ask for the bike clothes (they had to cut my nice sugoi shorts off my), good call fredwina). You don't want to settle until you are sure what your final medical expenses are.

Clothes : don't thank me, thank Gary,
Also got money for a new helmet.
Yes, it just for bike damage - The final settlement will come after I m discharged from PT/MD care(like you said), since from what I have read, I will not regain 100% Range of motion, and there is a possibility that I may need joint replacement surgery down the road
