coming to confession, or just call me crash

[tangentgirl]

Ouch, ouch, ouch! But I'm glad it was relatively minor.

Had the MRI this morning - and considering that I haven't been able to completely straighten my knee, having a small amount of weight on my knee, forcing it straight, got to be rather painful after 20 or so minutes. The technician had to cut the exam short, as I moved. I swear I didn't, but on the microscopic level who am I to argue?

PT starts in earnest this afternoon. Ice bag is currently on my knee to get it to forgive me for this morning's torture session.

Meep! I know about knee pain first hand (and both knees...LOL)

I hope it feels better soon!

I am still trying to figure out why this was your fault if you were in a crosswalk and a car hit you. were you crossing against a red light? (Is that what you mean by "against traffic?")

ps and just because your friend is a cop doesn't make him a law expert.
It was a cop that tried to force us into driving in the parking strip instead of the clearly marked sharrow....

Sorry, I hope your knee gets better - and I understand about Nala's ashes. It is important to have them home. I was really sad to leave Big Kitty at the vet when we said goodbye to him; and it was good to bring him home later even though it was his ashes.

Heal up soon. spoke

Beth, I am so sorry to hear about all you have been through! Know I am sending healing thoughts your way, both physically & emotionally...

Riding against the flow of traffic. My cop friend is a retired state trooper (was an investigator), and our state police are held in a bit better esteem (and better trained) than the local boys.


On a side note - I got an automated call last night from a lawyer's office. Now how they got my information is baffling to me. I've only sought MEDICAL care. No one else has my information about the accident. Other than this forum....

You didn't actually READ the four (or more!) page privacy policy from the ER, the ortho and/or the PT, did you? If you did, you'd know exactly how the lawyer (and everyone else who could possibly profit from you now or in the future) got your information.

One of my doctors opted out of HIPAA to protect her patients' privacy when the law was first passed. But that meant that she couldn't participate in a lot of insurance companies' networks, and in any case patients had to pay her in full and file their own insurance claims, rather than paying the co-pay and letting the office file the claim as is the custom nowadays, and for financial reasons she wound up having to go to work for the local hospital affiliate.


Not that there ever has been any real privacy on the internets, either.

IAE, hope you get to feeling better soon!

So sorry to hear about your injuries and at such a time as to add insult to injury.

One thing to remember is to always make eye contact with a driver before pulling out in their presence. This goes for driveways and intersections. You can never assume that a driver even knows you are there. Right-of-way means nothing if you have not been acknowledged.

Oh, that just sounds so scary. I'm so sorry for you knee and glad you aren't hurt worse. What a bummer week.

[redrhodie]

(((Beth))) Soon you'll be back on your bike, and this will all be worth it. Rest up!

[Owlie]

((Hugs)) I'm glad it went well, not glad for you feeling lousy. Recovery vibes heading your way!
