It *is* hard to part with $500 on the spot.

It's also hard to go to prison for vehicular manslaughter. I know someone, a lovely suburban housewife, who did just that.

Hard to give up money you had planned to use for something else.

Hard to give up the rest of your life knowing you killed someone's wife and mother.

So. I don't feel so bad for her about the check. I am really glad for you that you took charge and got what you needed. Keep us posted on your wellbeing, too. Are the cuts and scrapes healing up? How's the head?
