Arm good, Neck bad. · 9:39pm Jul 3rd, 2018

Fourth week of therapy.

Arm's in decent shape, doc says there's no reason I won't be able to work because of it by the end of the week.

My neck, on the other hand, is. It's confirmed. My vertebrae are in the process of fusing. They're going to use ultrasound to try and stop the process and stimulate healing in the capsule joint, starting on Thursday. If that doesn't show positive results by the end of next week, I -will- need surgery.

Therapy for the week update · 10:49pm Jun 28th, 2018

Last update, this week. Completed my last day of therapy for the week.

More good news, bad news.

My arm is healing nicely, but not fast enough to clear me to work. Next week is for certain, but the range of motion is still too limited in the doc's opinion. Another week of sleeping on an ice pack, yay.

That's the good news.

Bureacracy and Insurance Companies Suck · 8:29pm Jun 25th, 2018

Bad news again, this week. Well, bad, sort of good.

The other insurance company denied the claim. My lawyer is speaking with theirs, to try and get a settlement just one more time, but it's looking like it will head to lawsuit country, or making a claim against my insurance.

The good news there is my insurance company gave me a call over the weekend to talk about my options.

Legal Update - Bad News · 9:47pm Jun 19th, 2018

Update to the Legal Side.

Bad, bad news. The other guy's insurance is denying the claim, stating that there's no proof their insured was driving the vehicle.

My attorney has assured me there are a bevy of options, but this is still bad news as it makes the case much more difficult, and thus, highly consumptive of both money and time.

Our options:

Week 3 of Emergency Mode · 8:31pm Jun 18th, 2018

Third week of therapy. Good news, bad news, worse news day.

Good news - arm is recovering, but slowly. Tape rash and bandage burn are going to be my new best friends for at least a few more weeks.

Bad news - Strained capsule in the C5-C6 vertebrae is being stubborn, limiting motion and causing my headaches. Doc's putting me on percussion therapy to try and loosen it up, but he wasn't too confident. This one might be the one that keeps me in therapy the longest.

Second week of therapy begins. · 8:23pm Jun 11th, 2018

Second week of therapy has begun.

Good news, my neck is showing signs of recovery, but the C5-C6 facet joint is inflamed on my right side, making lateral tilt and rotation in that direction ridiculously painful. The doctor wants to focus my recovery there, which will hopefully reduce the headaches and sinus pain.

Hit-and-Run Threatens Livelihood · 12:47am Jun 8th, 2018

So, if you're familiar with my only work on the site so far, you'll be partially familiar with the fact that I'm in the middle of the year from hell.

Starting with a car accident last October, moving through family trouble, then my fiance leaving me and kicking me out of our home, my cousin being murdered by her own son, and losing several friends over the drama known as 'fair weather', it's been a depressing eight months.
