Well, I did say I wouldn't be on until tonight, but let me tell you all about my day.....

I had a doctor's appointment this morning to try to identify this abdominal pain I have had the last two months. This is an odd one, so she set me up with a CT on Monday. I don't think it is terribly serious, but may need surgery, and THAT will really not be good. If I have abdominal surgery, then recovery is going to put an end to all the work I need to do to get ready for winter and will mean someone had to help me do chores every day. Probably why I waited so long to go in. Folks, I am not going to get too worried about this, so I hope you all don't either. When I say surgery, it is possibly just my appendix starting to 'go out'.

THEN...I picked up DS from school (it was an early release day). We went to Kwik Trip to gas up and get a car wash where a flock of starlings or something decided my dark blue van would look better with white dots. I go to the car wash, get done in the wash mode and I am pulling ahead to the blowers, inching my way through. I got about 1/3 of the way passed the blowers, and BAM!!!!! 75-ish year old lady behind me in a Durango, it seems mistook her gas pedal for her brake. I think my van is totaled.

I have a 2003 Town and Country we bought new and want to run until the motor or tranny dies. To be totaled over this is not making me happy. I have a year left on the truck and do not want to have another car payment, so I will just drive the truck if they don't just cut us a check for the repair. The repair entails the entire back of my car being replaced: the gate, the bumper and everything associated with those two things. She just kept saying, "I am a good driver. I put my foot on the brake and it wouldn't stop!" Really? If you put the clues together, lady, I think you can figure out what happened, just stop denying it already.
When she hit, I felt like a hammer hit me in the back of the head. SO, off to the chiropractor I went. I had about 15 X-rays of my neck and some massage stuff done. I have to go back tomorrow. DS was with me, and so far he is not feeling too bad but said his back is hurting some.
The good thing is, there are a couple of cameras on that car wash, so the people handling this can see what happened in black and white (I doubt they spend the extra bucks for color video ;) ), and there was no way she could deny it being her fault, she slammed me pretty hard. Her radiator is shot, leaked all over the parking lot.

I got home just in time after the chiro to get chores done before it was completely dark.

I did get rid of the 4 remaining turkeys today, so that is all good and I have a little room in my freezer again.

Now, to finish reading missed posts and get to bed. I may find that I still need to reply some sarcastic thing to one or more posts, but then off to rest my weary head and ice my neck, just maybe not in that order.

get yourself to a good massage therapist asap as well, you and your son. My sister is one, and it is very important to get those muscles worked on by the chiro and massage therapist as soon as possible, or stuff can show up years later.
 
I know Ralphie wants more posts but us poor folks that don't get on everyday suffer. It takes for ever to catch up, I always miss something I wanted to post about. I never can remember what I wanted to say. I can't keep up. I might have to reduce work loads around the house to allow me more BYC time. Ralhpie do you offer some sort of service that can help me get more BYC time and all the chores get done around here? Too tall a request?

I know an excellent one, she actually used to work at the chiropractor's office for most of the last 6 years. She is now a teacher but does massage from her home still. I am giving her a call tomorrow.
I have had back issues since I was a kid. Doing all the manual labor on the farm really did a number on me, plus I think there is a genetic factor in all of this. I had a herniated disc for 11 years before I found this chiro who actually fixed it with decompression treatment. He really is an amazing chiro. If anyone has herniated, rupture, bulging disc issues PM me before you talk to a surgeon.
I have been having a lot of problems lately with my neck and upper back and shoulders, today's incident did not help those at all.
