The last 6 months... [Car accident updoot]
2 years ago
I'm trying to get back in my groove of posting again, and it's been floating around my mind to share what things have been like for me since my car accident in May this year.
So at first I thought it was a minor accident, the lady ran her stop sign when we had none. It hit the driver side of the car, airbags deployed and mostly what I remember is crying a whole lot.
Airbags deployed, brand new engine we just got destroyed.. our car was sent to the scrap yard and we continued paying the insurance and car payments. [As of now, we are free of that car 100%] We didnt even own the car 6 months...
The next day, my partner and I realized our wounds were not minor and headed to the ER. After about 7 hours we left with barely anything and just a note to check with our primary care doctors.
Well, where I live.. my main doctor is a 4 hour trip, minimum. Because medical care here is severely lacking. So it took me over a month to see my doctor, and now making that EXTREMELY expensive trip and perusing medical care is taking up huge huge huge chunks of my life.
Yes, we reached out to an injury lawyer. He said he wouldn't get enough money from it and rejected our case. So my partner and I have been income-less for the past 6 months, my partner got some money from disability but it quickly ran out. I drained my savings just to get us food or pet care.
(Because yeah, in this time 2 of my pet rats died and needed serious medical care before. That destroyed my bank acc/credit score)
It didn't seem so bad at first, but it's been getting worse. It affects my ability to walk, and often times I am unable to feel my legs while laying down to sleep but getting to the doctor is so hard, I struggle to get the care I need and just end up suffering between appointments.
We have had to go to the ER 5 times since the accident, each time being a minimum of 5 hours tho one time we didnt get to leave til 2am. I'm not sure how to explain how extremely painful it was to sit in an an ER and be ignored for hours upon hours while in indescribable pain heh.. then u can be sent home with nothing that actually helps you!
The last 6 months I trained myself to draw again, I couldn't even hold a pencil about a month after my accident, and I'm so proud of how I learned to process art again! It makes me feel like I've regained a part of myself again, and after this year I desperately needed that.
I'm so excited to be able to continue completing projects and I literally cannot wait to share more again with my followers and friends.
I just wanted to share some of what has been going on behind the scenes since I haven't been posting or online like usual.
Thank you all for sticking with me through these times. It's been so, so very hard. I really am grateful for any kind of support, even if all you do is leave a like on a post.
Happy to hear about the improvements and looking forward to your art again!
Stay strong buddy you can do it.
i don't know you, but you've been in my thoughts since the car accident. glad to hear you're still hanging on.
