88. UPDATE, Day 4?
Tue Jul 30, 2019, 11:14 PM
Jul 2019

Finally had the follow up dr...he asked a bunch of stupid questions, (but that's how they do that assessment stuff) and he determined I have a pretty hefty concussion.

No work for 10 days = more $$ settlement+wages lost

Got the ins adjuster name and claim from the other party.

Signed papers yesterday for a new lawyer in town, she's very familiar, we know we know eachother but long term locals here are like 2-degrees of separation, so ya.

got my brekky and better drugs this morning, slept off & on all day...dr said to avoid screens and reading, just save my brain effort.

got one friend bringing us some freeze dinners tomorrow
another some time soon will come and hep with my floors and such

Should have the CHP report tomorrow and then the other Ins is at fault and I can get a rental car by the end of the week, and I see the chiropractor again tomorrow too...
