Wow that is horrible, well I try to look at the positive side it could have been worse, OR if they would have put down the phone you would be fine! I agree I see this getting worse as technology progresses. But we are happy to have you back with us, and post count is about quality not quantity so post as you may!!

I had full coverage and so did girl that hit me ( she was in a 09 e class benz). So i know shes got money or atleast her family does. Like i told my attorney, yea the money is great and all but...That money is going to be gone one day. Hows my back going to be in 20 years when im 45? Thats my main concern. I didn't bust my ass the last 9 years to be a cripple (no offense) if anyone is. The whole thing is just frustrating. Thank god i have a wonderful woman on my side.

You are absolutely right to think about your future. When I initially injured my back (at work) I was young and dumb and thought I was invincible. I ended up settling with the Worker's Comp. Co. for far too little. It didn't help that I had a lousey lawyer (I later found out that he was a womanizer who was sleeping with clients for free services). So definitely stick to you guns and don't settle unless the terms are substantial. Try to get lifetime medical if possible you just might need it. It can be a very long road to recovery you must be patient. I'd also advise you to see as many docotrs as possible, the more opinons the better. Good luck and keep your head up.

All the best Tory.

I feel I must add to the distracted driving issue...I live in a town of barely 10K (couple miles wide, couple miles long) and I want to know who in the h**l they are talking to. You just left the driveway and you're on that phone, who is so damn'd important that it can't wait 5 min until you see them in person. Hang up and drive!

Get well Tory!

Bill

I hope things get better soon. What an unfortunate situation. I will pray for your recovery.

Without good health a gold nugget means nothing...absolutely nothing!

Praying for your good health...

Did the epidural help at all? When I had it done it numbed me out for about 10 hours then everything was back to the way it was- pain. I have heard that it does work on some people but I've never spoken to anyone that it has actually has helped. Just curious. I sympathize with you, back problems can be tough to heal. Good luck.
