Bad day

I just got home from Philly about an hour ago, and just found out my dad was rear ended on his way home from work. He is walking, but had a lot of neck pain, so they are taking him to the hospital by ambulance.

So not only can I not go to the hospital, where I would like to be, I am stuck at home, alone, basically unable to even walk on my own let alone cook dinner.

Worse yet, he was in the pickup truck, which we are basically using on a daily basis to shuttle stuff to and fro the house. It has so many of his tools in the back, and I hope to god all of the stuff is okay too.

And I just feel so helpless and I needed someone to talk to.

Re: Bad day

  • I'm so sorry. I hope he doesn't have anything major wrong with him. How did the surgery go?

  • I am so sorry sweetie.  I am just getting on right now so I couldn't check in! 

    Praying for your dad!  

    FB meeting?
  • Oh gosh, I hope your dad is okay. And his poor truck and tools :(

  • I'm doing well. My eye patch fell off in the middle of the night, and that was a bit scary, but it actually feels better without it. My eye itself just looks horrible. But other than that, it just feels like I have something in my eye.

    My dad is fine, other than some soreness.

    The truck on the other hand... The other driver only had minimum insurance, so we are only going to get $5000, which is basically going to cover nothing. Which also means no rental car, which means that moving is pretty much not going to happen any time soon. And worse, body shops around here are so backed up because of that hail storm from a few months ago, and it might be months until it's fixed. And we really need the truck, for things other than just the move. It's just so angering that people can get away with doing things like having basically no insurance. And worse, he was stopped for a while, and she had PLENTY of room to see him stopped. She just was doing something else. I should take a picture for you.

    Oh, and his drills are in the back for sure, which we really do need.

    Sigh.

    Oh and for your viewing pleasure, me as a pirate.

  • I saw time to get the lawyers involved.  If nothing else, sue them directly.....

  • I think they are thinking about it, if for nothing else than a rental vehicle in the shop. My dad went today to get an estimate, and the guy thinks it's only about 6600, plus it's drive able for him to go to work, he just can't open the tailgate. So it's not too bad, and his insurance will cover the rest. It's just bad that it has to, because it really shouldn't have to.

  • I think you look cute!

    Sorry about all the troubles!  Can you rent a truck from Home Depot or Lowes or budget?  They are pretty cheap. $20.00/hr or so?
  • We could, but we need it for so much, that by that point, we should just go out and rent one so. But my dad thinks he can get the tarp off of it, and then he can set things in the back.

    I'm glad you think I look cute. I am not going to post a pic of my actual eye though. That's something out of a horror movie. ;) and that is me in my current state, left eye permenently closed. Lol.

  • Thanks. I'm getting there. At this point, I'm trying to decide when to start taking  sub jobs. Actually started getting calls now that I can't work, and I'm afraid that because I am turning them down, I'm not going to get them back.
