So... something pretty shitty happened. I borrowed my boyfriend's car to make it to my yoga class last Tuesday and got in a pretty brutal wreck on the 580 freeway. I had to be removed from the car by paramedics and firefighters and taken to a hospital by ambulance (which I just received the $2000 bill for). I sprained my neck and right knee and strained my upper back. Which is great because breaking something is kinda of out of my price range in this country. Not that $2000 for a 5 minute ride to the hospital is, but it could be worse.
Worse as in even though it appears the car in front of me stopped dead on the freeway to try and get over to an exit they missed because I hit them the insurance probably won't cover it.
pause... anxiety attack
Anyway, I've been working very hard the past few months at moving in a positive direction in my life. I quit drinking and started a 250 hour (year and a half) foundations of yoga course with hopes to start a teacher training program in a year or so. I started as the nanny to Roach's baby 5 days a week on top of yoga 4 or so times a week. And then this happened. I'm not going to lie, I'm bumming pretty hard on this. It's probably going to end up costing me around $10k I'm guessing. I'm trying not to be overwhelmed but I'm all but bedridden and my injuries are severe and are not keeping me from yoga and study. Truth be told, it's pretty hard not to just cry in a cocoon of comforters night and day.
I don't really know what else to say. Sorry this entry is such a bummer.

Chin up! Going along with the free legal advice counsel, also look into if there is a "Contributory negligence" law in Ca. Basically it's a law in common law states that says, if your at fault, even 1%, you lose all right to sue. Someone hit me in a hit and run, and my case was thrown out because they claimed that I cut them off first. This may not help with your personal bills, but it could save you if they come seeking money from you later, and your insurance is being jerks. Take care. Keep on the good path, this is just another hurdle to test your resolve.
