accident

[cellio]

Thanks for all the good wishes, everybody. I will be seeing my doctor tomorrow morning to get checked out. Today's aches and pains were pronounced but not as bad as I had feared, fortunately. But I am learning more about which muscles are involved in seemingly-innocuous activities. :-)

Tonight we tried and failed to find the place the car was towed to so Dani could get everything out of the trunk, glove box, etc (and retrieve the remote control for the garage door). He will seek clarification tomorrow. (The insurance adjuster hasn't ruled on it yet, but we suspect we know how that's going to turn out.)

Good luck! I hope there isn't anything that won't clear up soon.

And also good luck on finding a new car, pending the likely judgement of the insurance. I remember your posting a while back about it being difficult to get one with both good visibility and all the desired features.

Dani's car is the one that got smooshed, not mine, so the visibility issue is less of a factor. We already know that there does not exist a car that both of us love, which is why we have his car and my car rather than our cars.

True, this means I'll be doing all the driving for the next couple weeks or so, including at night in bad weather and stuff, but oh well, it comes with the territory. He's not used to manual transmission and I still count my clutch as new and near-pristine. :-)

Glad you're okay and that it wasn't worse!

[cellio]

Yeah, it was scary (especially because we saw it coming but could do nothing), but it could have been so much worse.

Glad to hear you guys are ok. It's also nice to know what to expect if my air bag goes off. Hope you find your car!

Hope you find your car!

It just got easier. The insurance rep wants to have it towed to a "preferred shop" for possible repairs (ha), so Dani skimmed down their list until he spotted one he knows and said "that one". Once it's there we'll clean out the car. :-)

Good luck with that; the tower or possibly the shop ransacked my car before I could get to it, back when I had my accident (that'd be the mid 80s). Had been hoping to at least retrieve the battery, which was less than a year old.

Also, glad to hear you're all right.

// I would use camelCase, but that didn't look right here somehow.

[cellio]

Probably because camelCase with uppercase words/abbrevs (like "OK") tends to look a little wonky.

Oh Monica!!! I am so sorry! Please take extra good care of yourself.

[cellio]

Doing my best.

I wonder if we can claim the expense of having somebody else shovel our snow until we can do that without hurting ourselves. (This is not academic; we're paying somebody today for that very service.)

Good luck and (very gentle) hugs

Eep! I missed reading about this. Glad you're okay, and be gentle with yourself!
