Random catch all post.

I've watched more tv in the past two weeks than I have in six years. I'm sort of televisioned out. How do people watch this all the time?!

Anyway, I'm walking sans crutches but with boot. A boot that weighs about a gadzillion pounds. I took my first few steps without the boot today and almost faceplanted but, still, it's coming.

I got the police report regarding my accident and the cop did ZERO investigation. Like, literally, no investigation other than to record our insurance information. Which means that the asshole that made the left in front of me did not get cited. Why the fuck do we have cameras up on every fucking red light if the police NEVER look at them?! What a motherfucker. I hope he gets downsized in the next round of cuts to the police officers here in town. I can't think of a more deserving dickface to get downsized.

Which also means that I have to contact a lawyer as my insurance wants me to assume 50% liability. Well, fuck that sideways, no fucking way. Plus, they're dragging their feet on getting the medical claim STARTED. Yep, you read that right - the medical claim hasn't even been started which means that the $65,000 surgery I had is now up in the air for payment. The ambulance company billed me $1100 for taking me 10 minutes to the hospital. There was a charge of $200 for mileage. WTF. It's seven miles down the road!

Anyway, to step away from ranting, I'm feeling better. Still randomly falling asleep at awkward moments. I feel like a 90 year old man.

I'm working from home so much less vacation time spent for this stupid ankle and chest pains. Plus, I get to watch movies while working. How sweet is that?!

I got a Kindle for Christmas. Now if only I could get wifi to be able to use the thing cause I didn't get the 3G version.

How was everyone else's Christmas?

"the medical claim hasn't even been started which means that the $65,000 surgery I had is now up in the air for payment"

Wow, that is just mind boggling! Being a Canuck I find the medical woes people have at probably the most difficult times of their lives just unbelievable!

Take care and enjoy the Kindle! I'm in love with my ereader!

Oh my word! I cannot even believe that. What a lousy police officer. I'm appalled. Seriously-- you should see my indignant, dismayed expression. I would march over and give that incompetent tosser a piece of my mind, but I'm in Canada and don't feel like reclearing customs tonight. Bah. Otherwise...

YAY for off crutches and I hope that you continue to feel better. And YAY for being able to work from home. If I could, I would totally send you a bacta tank. Just so you know.

Oh god, insurance companies suck! Good luck with that battle. :-(

*winces* Can't you...I don't know...insist on having access to the camera evidence from the scene of the accident? It should be a matter of public record, like most police-related reports and incidents are.

WTF?! Man, I would so love to kick that police officer in the arse if I could! And all the fees and stuff. BULL. What's wrong people these days; it's like they don't want to help others out?!

On the bright side, I'm glad to hear the recovery process is going all right. Hope things look up soon! *hugs*
