I was heading home bound when I came up to a yield sign. Now there were no witnesses but I have always been a very good driver with a very good driving record.
Anyways from all that I can recall from this was someone going well over the speed limit. My car needless to say was hit so hard that it literally did a 180 and I was hit on my drivers side.
Then next think I recall is that everything seemed to stop and then I had the police, ambulance - yelling for me to get out of the car as it was starting to go on steam up and they feared a fire. I crawled out from my passengers side and at the time was taken to the ambulance and had a few review. I felt that everything was fine and they said that I seemed fine and after all the tests - the let me go. Thereafter I talked with the local police made my statement and then thereafter as I know a few on the force here was given a ride home.
I called to get in to my doctor and she could not see me till today and then went over it all and now I have all things lined up. I have broken rib that has not impacted the left lung, my right knee wish was one fractured while while working within the Airports - was re fractured and as well I have to be tested for whiplash as and while crawling out of a window on my passengers side I have fractured my foot - seemingly.
Still to this day it's difficult to rethink of the situation itself as it all happened so fast. How things do takes a shift but as well I have one that has filled for moneys. So this next week I have to attend to that here and go over my statement with a representative.
This will pass but it's the least and last think I thought would happen on a day that was great and some drivers just do not follow the speed limit. I have been charged with a fail to yield at a yield sign and I contest that as this is only been the charge of the other person involved which walked away from this yet while only doing 50kms, I can tell you for the amount of the impact they were doing well over that and there was only ironically a dent in some old car that was doing well over the speed limit.
Perhaps I should have refrained from making any statement at all at the time but we shall see how things go. I never looked to charge anyone as here we have a no fault insurance.
I am not sure where this will go but all I know is that there are some very lousy drivers out there and well, I will slowly get everything done but this is something where there was so much within progress and now I have a week to be proactive and as well mend....what ever that may be.
I hope the very best outcome in this situation. Yes things happen so fast like in a blink of an eye..Hang in there , one day at a time . Wow! Take care and try to rest , peace to you.
ReplyDeletedid they have a yield sign as well?
ReplyDeleteWishing you well as I don't want anything bad happen to you, Jack. I pray everything settled ... and cooler heads intervened. Take extra care of your knees. I give my warmth smile and a tight hugs to you friend ...
ReplyDeleteI share half of my peace to you Jack. Hugs. maritess*
ReplyDeletecall a lawyer, he/she will fix you up
ReplyDeleteAs I recall it this is really what happened. So perhaps it's a back up as well but I have nothing to worry about with law as there is no manner that this person is going to get one cent out of my pocket.
ReplyDeleteNo, but a lawyer might could put two cents in yours :)
ReplyDeleteNo...
ReplyDeleteYep this is what it's going to take Byron.
ReplyDeleteIt all settles...but I have to go much slower with this I will see how I feel tomorrow. Thanks and btw I did look at facebook but I am not in the state to look at it - just so you know - this is my blog and I wanted to give it a look at. Facebook that is...
ReplyDeleteJust glad you aren't hurt worse than you are!
ReplyDeleteExactly.....
ReplyDeleteget a lawyer that specializes in this kind of accident and it might even save you money in the long run....
ReplyDeleteYeah first think first and next week will be busy to say the least, familiar with some and two that are good friends but first I want to tend to a few medical situations so it's going to be a finess...
ReplyDeleteSo I am not worried. But it's going to be some cadence with this. I am on this codiene which I will take so I can sleep as the last two nights it's been pain that is right up to a 10. But shall do.
Karyn I guess my biggest thing is that tomorrow is an Aikido Seminar and Monday was the beginning of a retraining for me, I have to place this all off for two weeks according to my doctor medically as I still have a ways to go.
Do a google in BC on Mazzie and you will find one of the best lawyers in Canada. Not kidding you. I will be talking to him and he has an old partner is here.
Rest....that is the only way to heal. I hope the pain lessens and you can get comfy and REST!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am going to know and I am not down just wiped...and thanks Linda.
ReplyDeleteOne week of narcotics is worth it for this but I just wanted to get on here and express all of this.
Thanks and good night over there...
I'm so sorry to hear you've been so injured, Jack! I hope you heal quickly, and pray that the pain meds help you cope. As to the legal stuff, I hope you get sound advice for how to proceed!
ReplyDeleteVery sorry that this has happened.
ReplyDeleteSending healing energy.
Thanks Terri...If all of this is ok as this tylenol 3 (for a week) worked I will be tending to a few things today. I have yet to set down what is first but I have to get medical and legal stuff done I will be calling a friend I know in Vancouver that has his own practice that I did some favours for and then I will know how to proceed.
ReplyDeleteA great day
DJ it happens - the car could have exploded. No I am joking but I thank you for the energy as for one week I am on up to 4 or 6 times a day and it's given some relief - to be able to get out of bed - is grand but I felt it coming on so I know why people do get addicted to this stuff but in this case it's only for a week.
ReplyDeleteThis will pass.....I can't believe I am on here and able to now think of what to do literally. Pain relief is something to say the least.....
will be thinking of you. It's best to take it one day at a time as you say. concentrate on healing, as these things can be traumatic, mentally as well as the physical injuries, so don't be afraid to pamper yourself for awhile. I know all will work out well for you, just give it time. hugs:)
ReplyDeleteI know something happened as I blanked out and lost memory of time as I remember the initial start of the hit but there after the next was being totally coherant and hearing this one fire fighter yelling for me to get out by way of the window from my left side.
ReplyDeleteThen I was fine but well - I have to get testings done and all I know is that yesterday my doctor set things up and I did get my chest xrayed and well I have to be coherant and I have never felt that narcotics are the way to go but as she indicated just for a week. So I am following it and last night was the first good sleep I have had.
It will all work out. I just have to make a list of all of this and go about it slowly. Yesterday I had to borrow a family vehicle as mine is a write off and I was so darn nervous while driving...but today (as it's the med) I feel I can do anything...
But I realize it's the med....sipping on a coffee and I thank you much.
I don't know if many realized that I literally had an idea that I will propose later .....I wanted to do a snail mail card for the season to those that are friends - this was something I was going to write before this all happened.
We shall see - thank you much and a good morning too you there.
Jack
wishing you the very best hon! hugssss!
ReplyDeleteI got your invite - I looked at FB and I will go on there for a moment but I dont know much about it but why did I say that? :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, idk! see you there! or here! or both!
ReplyDeleteGlad you weren't hurt worse!
ReplyDeleteI am doing my laundry.....am here...
ReplyDeletea snail mail exchange of christmas cards would be lovely! great idea Jack. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I would love it if there was an ability to do that but I am not sure there is trust...
ReplyDeleteThanks true this is the first day that I have been able to move without real bad pain...but it will go.
ReplyDeletewell pm of addresses would be the wise thing, that way they are not projected for the whole world to see! I'll give you mine if you give me yours! lol......that almost sounds like the childhood saying of show me yours and I'll show you mine! haha! too funny. :D
