So now I am FINALLY back at work 1/2 time... Lost a month's worth of wages and the Insurance settlement could take up to 6 months.
Still having concussion issues and need PT for the body stuff.

No "temp disability" cuz the Dr who said NOT to go back to work refuses to fill out the paperwork. (and now he's on vacation till 9/4 and nobody will touch it).

Car recall was a non-issue cuz I checked the contract and signed off on it.

So here I am, 3 weeks till another paycheck, and have tapped every family member possible for help just keeping groceries stocked and the lights on. Kinda trying not to freak out, but I went ahead and made a GoFundMe just in case since the Gas bill is about to go into shut off notice, and a couple others are too...

I feel sheepish posting here, but you guys are an extended family of sorts. Please share this far and wide if possible...

To a friend what DU was and how long I've been tal8kng with all of us here....dayum...its been almost 20 years!
I found this wonderful place right after the W stole the 2000 election

8. Just had a major dental bill, but I kicked in a little, too!

I'm still a little freaked out after almost getting hit by a truck in a parking lot tonight (not my car, this truck apparently didn't see me!), so I cannot imagine what you're going through. And you're certainly right about DUers, we are family here. Wishing that you feel better every day and please continue to check in and let us know how you're doing!
