Got a new target!!!!!!

Well I would have thought that since the insurance company settled so quickly that I would have had another van quick but it took me a couple of weeks to find the right one. No surprise. I finally got basically what I already had but nicer. I got a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan which looks and feels like my 1998 Plymouth Voyager. Made by the same guess that why they the same. Dont have to waste time adjusting to where my controls and gadgets are--Thank God. I didn't get a CD player in this one and that disappointed me greatly, but I guess not too bad I really didn't have a bunch of CD's becuse I hadn't gone to the store is all. One minor problem- the shock in the rear is bad but just came from the part store and cornered my machanic yerterday to book his time for today so problem solved. Now if he would just show up. Aside from being run down all the time -literally by the other vehicles in this town cab life is kinda steady so no real complaint there. My employee drives me crazy always talking about past events in his life which i really care nothing about an don't even need to know. The man can talk your head off for days and not blink an eye.

Post Operation Doctor visit

Well I was hoping for better news but at least my restrictions are gone at least i think so. Doctor checked my incisions and said they looked great. Then felt my stomach and gave me a look an says- Have you been following your restrictions. I gave him a look and said as best as I can. He says he will release me but i have obviously not been following them as i should have been because my stomach on the inside is still scared or whatever some cleft thing he was talking about, and that i do in fact need to take it easy on my stomach muscle use and until i truely do i won't heal. Said i have strained it during the healing process and the nausea I still get if i touch a certain spot on my stomach is a sure sign- not healed. Or the tenderness that my stomach still has to a simple touch. So I kindly explained to him that I am a mother of four plus two boyfriend kids-and they always want something or cant do something for themselves and that means it up to me, i run a 24 hour taxi, work at the car lot, and have to clean my house if i wish for it to be clean the way i want it. So there. I guess I will adjust to the minor inconvience of nausea and some achiness when it decides to come upon me.

Got More Than I gave

Well it does royally suck to have someone crash into you because they fail to stop at stop signs or even attempt to stop, but the good thing is they have insurance. I was happy with my van the day I bought it for $500.00 and thought yeah it has 177,000 miles already but i can get it to 200,000 and make a bunch of money before it needs replaced. Thinking smart since i dont want to be in debt starting my buisness just want to get by until I make the big bucks to get nicer vehicles. Nope made it 34 days when it became a total and only made 4,000 with it. So I was very disappointed until the insurance adjuster brought me a check today for 3,100 and some odd dollars. I'm sure i would have tripled that in my van at least but I have the money to get a better one early. That is three wrecks in 2 months and none were my fault. Talk about a bunch of dumbasses in Ottumwa, Ia.

Just My Luck

As if this year hasn't had enough of a rough start for me my bad luck has been striking in full force. Jan went pretty much fine. Then Feb began my streak of luck,on the 15th and 18th when two different people decided not to look where they were going an backed into my car, then on the 27th all the pain associated with a non treated tubal pregnancy came along when the hospital 3 times over in 24 hours kept sending me home and telling me i was fine just lost my baby. The 4th of march I had surgery and started the recovery process for that, which let me tell you was hell. Still have some discomfort. I am scheduled to be released from all my restrictions following the surgery on the 9th, yet my luck as struck. Yesterday I was coming down the road and a man decides he doesn't want to stop at a stop sign. Completely totaled my new van. Engine is pushed back, front end majorly smashed, bumper off, just a wreck. My knees hit the dash and the front of my body hit the steering wheel. So once again i am hurting in the stomach region that had surgery and the seat belt snapping down hard on impact didn't help. I went home and spent my day (yet another one) in bed trying to get comfortable.
