BATTERED, BRUISED BUT RECOVERING
I suppose I should report that I have survived the automobile accident about which I wrote in my last entry. The bruises to my nose and other facial areas are about gone as is the soreness. I still have some sickly-looking greenish-yellow bruises on my upper chest. The soreness to the chest is about gone though. The only remaining physical problem is the injury to my leg. This huge hole is very much present. It is still very sore and red in a circular area around the wound. The insurance adjuster strongly suggested I have it checked by my family doctor. I suppose I should do that.
The insurance made what I consider a very reasonable settlement for the car. It was a total loss. At least I got enough to cover the deductible, pay off the loan and have a small amount left over – less than $500.
I haven’t found a car yet. Some folks are looking but nothing concrete. In the meantime I’m driving a rental (a Chrysler Pacifica). The insurance is covering the rental cost but I’m paying for the extra insurance to the car. So I need to find something to buy before the insurance allowance runs out and I have to pay more for the extra insurance than what I got from the wrecked car.
I am really grateful to all who read the previous entry, or otherwise heard about the accident, and wrote or called inquiring about my well-being. Your concern and prayers are very much appreciated. It is such a blessing to have such good friends. Thank you all very much. I am so blessed.
Jim
