I Got Hit by a Car
It's true.
I'm ok but I can't move my left shoulder without wanting to scream. After 6 hours in the hospital all they could tell me was it's not broken or sprained, and I should try to use it normally so it doesn't freeze up. I have command of my legs and hands (though everything's bruised as hell) but not much in between, since the shoulder is a much more pivotal area than one might realize on a regular basis.
I feel like an old woman who's fallen and can't get up. Krista & Lauren are taking care of me but I hate being an invalid. And now the pharmacy won't even give me my percocet because the prescription is on a hospital printout and doesn't have a serial number or some such crap, and it's a very controlled substance. Fuck.
On the bright side, I'm not dead, severely injured, or still in that godforsaken hospital. And the accident was not a result of my accident-prone stupidity, I had the right of way and the driver turned left into me. Onto me. Fuck.
If this is what I get for dragging myself up off the couch to go to the gym (now there's some irony), maybe I should just resign myself to being a fatass indefinitely. So tired from work, a million reasons not to leave the apartment, but trying to be a better, healthier person- and now I'm injured and can't work for who knows how long and I hate it, almost as much as I hate the loss of income. Fuck.
I'm ok. I'm lucky. I need to take a shower, wish me luck.

Re: loss of work and therefore income -- Can the driver be made to pay restitution for this? Or can you claim disability? It doesn't seem right that you have to take such a thing. You should def. be receiving compensation of some sort for all this pain and suffering.
And how the hell are they not giving you the Percoset? Can't they see you are a very injured woman?
ps Hope you had fun with Michael last night. :) Sounded like it!
