It is helpful. I am dealing with a moved pelvis also from a t-bone wreck but not as bad as yours. It is almost five months from the accident and today I finally went to a doctor who could tell what was wrong with me (after referrals and referrals) so I will be starting physical therapy. I initially went to a chiropractor who did not want to let go even though he wasn’t addressing the worst problem of my pelvis even though I was complaining about being in pain and having difficulty walking. I’m still hobbling around with a cane and the pain is awful but now I have hope. I wish you all the best and that your recovery picks up speed. I am grateful to you for taking the time to post this.

I think you are INCREDIBLE getting through this much. I can’t even imagine. I broke my heel last year and after a measly four or five weeks of not being normal, I was bursting into tears every day. A whole year? You’re my hero.

That’s rough, the worst part is I was the one who had you pick me up from the airport, so how much of the blame do I get for that? Not only that but despite being in the car with you and doing the whole spinning around a bunch after getting hit on my side of the car I haven’t had any of the medical whoopla and am relatively fine. I’m sorry dear. –Nate

PS – I still love German Shepherds, especially for making that man go to the hospital.

I am so, so, so sorry for all that you had to go through (and still do), but I am so, so, so proud of you for getting through it!!!

We’ll be switching our insurance with the move and I’ll make sure we have the ramped-up PIP. As usual, you’re awesome. Here’s to complete healing and no more pelvic cracking!!!

I hope your physical pains ease exponentially soon. And sorry about Miss Daisy.

I think about the kid who hit us back in January on a daily basis. I wonder if he knows how much he messed up my life. I wonder if he realizes that I haven’t been able to run since January, that I can’t walk up and down stairs, that my knee hurts me every single second of every day. I wonder if he is a more careful driver now, or has he forgotten all about us? I wonder if his hands automatically fly up to cover his head every time he hears the sound of brakes squealing.

I’m so sorry you had to go through this, and that you’re still going through it. Most of all, I’m so happy you made it out of that accident to tell the tale and write this post a year later. It’s terrifying to think about how easily everything could have been different.

Thank you for sharing the story. You have always exuded a really positive attitude despite what you must have been feeling inside, and I applaud you for that. I will take a look at my car insurance.
