My wife and daughter were in a car accident on Christmas day last year, the car was written off and they were both injured, no-one was killed and cars can be ( and were ) replaced, barring our lawsuit against the guy who hit them ( which is a special kind of pain in itself ) things were getting back to normal or so I thought.
Now that winter is setting in Fiona had been complaining of pain in her knee, the same knee she injured in the accident, one morning she heard a loud popping sound and her knee gave out, two visits to a surgeon and an MRI later and we find out her knee needs surgery, we haven't heard from the insurance company as if the surgery has been approved yet ( I can't see why it wouldn't be but you never know.... ) but it's been booked and she goes under the knife in a little over a week.
I know no-one was killed or suffered any permanent injury but I'm getting really sick of this, the accident has cost a fortune so far, we've had to sue the guy in the hope we might eventually recover some of the money it's cost, Fiona will now be off work for an unknown period of time because of her knee and there is no guarantee of a full recovery even after she has had the operation.
As you might expect the guy who decided the road rules didn't apply to him suffered no injury and in his response through his lawyer had the audacity to suggest the accident was at least partially Fiona's fault because she didn't make enough of an effort to get out of his way.
I'll be glad when the whole bloody affair is over and done with.
