#315 Good Morning Friday, August 19, 2016

Hello Everyone,

Day 6 of the Harley Horror.  I’m thinking this morning that I’m really sorry that this happened.  I’m feeling guilty about leaving my job and having Lily pick up the slack.  I think she is the only one that can really do payroll.  I know she needs information from me for Diana, but that can wait.  I’m not so upset about that.  But I do feel sorry for others who have to take up the slack.  Transportation will be happy when I return.  Jeff is trying to convince me that I should retire.  That is swirling around in my head too.  This might be the last straw.  I don’t know, lots of feelings around that.

So yesterday Jeffy took me to Dr. Guzman again.  This is the 2nd time to him, the 3rd trip to Ft. Myers for Jeff.  What a trooper.  I told him I’d like to compensate him – I probably will but he said he is doing his 12th Step work which it really is so who am I to say any different.  These are the latest photos:

So I’m noticing a raw spot at my knee.  They said “not to worry” but I’m guessing that is from rubbing against the dressing when I walk.  So I’m now trying to keep my leg straight when I walk.  My knee was bending “ever so much” and I’m going to walk stiff legged for now.

Dr. Guzman’s assistant Alex (I believe his name is) took out the drain – YAY!  My next appointment is Tuesday, August 23rd.  Bless Jeff for being my driver.

So yesterday I found out a couple of things.  I’m going to come back to finish this.  It won’t keep up with my typing and is frustrating.  Be back later.

I called my insurance company to ask whether they had gone to assess the motorcycle.  Come to find out that I don’t have “collision” insurance on my policy so if I have a collision there is not compensation.  That was an eye opener.  Anyway, it should be Marshall’s insurance company that does that anyway.  So I called 21st Century Insurance – his company – and they say there is no policy with that name on it.  The FHP report had the wrong number as the policy number.  So now it’s in limbo.  I sent that information to Ted and am waiting to hear back from them.  Let’s go see if they responded yet (it is still early).  No response yet.  But I’m just going to sit back and wait for them to handle everything.

Got my Lien from the Hospital.  My bill:  $44,510.50.  For 24 hours in the hospital.  From 3PM Sunday to 3PM Monday.  I’ll be interested in seeing the itemization of this.  I doubt the EMS and Helicopter rides are included.  So let’s get this party started!  How do people without insurance do this thing?

Today, my friends are bringing a meeting to me.  Around 5:30 Polly and Patty and some others, probably Erica and Ali.  Anyway, I know Pizza and Diet coke are coming too.  I’m going to straighten up the table for us.

Tomorrow I want to make it to the 8AM meeting.  I’ll ask for a ride with Roy.  Hopefully he will be able to do that.  But if not, Jayne can help me I believe.  I guess that is about all for now.  Thanks for visiting.
