That sucks. You are lucky. It could have been much worse. Keep us posted as things transpire.

Sorry about your wreck, glad you're ok.

My brother and I call that "Ginny" luck. I had a roommate named
Norman Ginn who had all sorts of misadventures. He once told me "I
hate anybody telling me I'm lucky. They always do that right after
something really bad happens."

About a month ago, I killed my old '96 Suburban. I was taking my 28
yr old handicapped son to a dr. appt., he was protesting muchly, and I
was distracted. I didn't see the light on the cross street (I was on
an interstate feeder), got hit in the right rear, swapped ends, hit
the curb, and rolled once into a deep ditch. Made David's day. He
had a great time chatting up the EMT, fire, and police guys. Neither
of us was hurt, other than I had a slight abrasion and it aggravated
an old neck injury a little. The folks in the other car were ok too.
Yeah, we heard "lucky" a lot the next few days. I miss that car, it
was a good one.

It took me a week to find another ride. I looked at a lot of pickups,
but good ones are overpriced and few and far between around here. Got
a 2004 Suburban with only 74,000 miles for much less than blue book.
One owner, and almost not a mark on it. It'll do.

Yesterday about 3:45 PM, an 18 wheeler rig driver
hit me from behind. I was going 53 MPH, he was
going much faster than that. My four door Blazer
fishtailed, and then went up on its side. Slid for a
while, and came to rest. The rig went into the ditch.
I got a courtesy ambulance ride (yeah, they will
demand money). And a hospital visit. This
essentially guarantees the next three to four weeks
of searching for another car, gulping ibuprophen,
dealing with insurance companies (better make
that double vicodin!) and more hassle.

The insurance company the other driver put on
the police report. They don't recognize the name
of the transportation company. My agent is going
to make a couple calls tomorrow. It will be interesting
to see. I sense trouble. Might be tough to get any
money out of them.

This is not a good way to spend Christmas season.
