Yesterday morning starting at 8AM I started receiving calls constantly until about 5-6PM. Unsolicited calls. I had just woken up.
They say they want to help me due to my auto accident, want to offer their medical services such as chiropractor and their legal services such as an attorney. I keep telling them I already have a chiropractor but they use the same tactics as a telemarketer (which I'd know, haha) so I figured out pretty quickly that they have nothing to do with the other guy's insurance company and would give me something ambiguous when I asked how they know about me, and who they are with. After the first two calls I quit answering because they would make themselves sound as legit as they could as if "third party" is just a term used loosely. No. I don't need more people confusing my life.
THen I called the guy's insurance company and she explained what was going on and I made sure I knew what numbers NOT to ignore because I'm not trying to be rude but I want to screen these calls. I've been having to save more people's numbers into my contact list because of this.
By 5-6PM I had received over 30 calls and probably 10-15 voicemails. Thankfully with my smartphone I can tell who calls and choose which voicemails I want to listen to and delete them pretty quickly without much of a hassle.
Anyway, this morning I talked to Josh's mom to make sure it's ok that Melissa n I come by Saturday to drop the dog off. Dog can't go in rental car.
Which, btw, the rental car is actually pretty cool except it has terrible visibility especially since I can't move my neck much to see around me. So, it is not a very pleasant driving experience and I am so floaty in the head that I don't want to drive at all. Only reason I am driving that car is to get me groceries and to the chiropractor.
My chiropractor appointment went rather well today. Construction getting there was a pain though.
He took x-rays of my neck, did some light alignment (which still hurt really badly even though I am medicated). I will try to lay off on the medication so when I see the chiropractor again on Friday he will have a better idea of what my state is. Before this accident I was in near perfect condition, he couldn't really find anything wrong with me and I was very lined up. Now I am not and he didn't seem too pleased with what my spine and stuff look like now. He would cringe occasionally as he was checking out my neck, back and how much I could move. That isn't good because before this I'd always been a very flexible person with a rather strong back which I am aware of because of how much I can do with my back muscles on weight machines. Good thing I have decent muscles to begin with. It will take some time for me to get back to my original condition. I would also like to stop feeling so weak/floaty/sleepy all the time. Although I am awake now because my body aches which woke me up.
The claims person from the guy's insurance is going to come see me in like 5 hours or so to talk to me in person. We'll see how that goes. I don't want to settle. Not because I want a lot of money, I just don't know how long it will be for me to be 100% again and what it will take.
Good thing is that as soon as the body shop gets the parts the baby FIAT can be fixed in 4-5 days.
Ugh, I just want everything to be normal and dealing with work from home and trying to make myself concentrate on my culminating when I am feeling so floaty and not hearing back from my advisor and second reader yet is frustrating.
Blah.
