Where on the earth are we?

  


Sharing with Thankful Thursday!

Closer to home, my neighbor across the way has lots of pretty plants.

Adventures of inner ear, in all likelihood:

Yesterday I talked with my Care Coordinator, Rob, about my scary dizzy episode in the middle of the night before. I went about the day until around 3, when I called him, thinking I needed it in my chart at least. I drove just fine to pick up my lunch, and even did a bit of photography up in Montreat (those will be part of blogs probably.)
Rob said it would be a good idea to have neurological signs/symptoms checked out so I got in to see my Doc. at 4:10.

On the way I backed my car into Peggy, my landlady's car, however, which was parked in a no parking zone, and I was coughing so didn't look fully and see it. So I stopped and found out it was her brand new car. Yikes. She said her husband would be quite upset. Then we did the exchange of insurance info while she was trying to make me feel less stressed.

I explained I was on the way to the doctor, right across the street, about vertigo last night. I didn't have it now.

Went to Doc. who said I was ok, all systems looked good.
Came home to find the police were by Peggy's car, talking with her. She said her insurance wanted a police report. I got out and went to explain that I had been the one who hit her car. They got my particulars, but never heard my side of things, and then gave me a form with a number on it for getting the accident report, which may cost $5.
I had called my insurance while waiting to see the Doc. and they said they'd already had a call, (probably from Peggy, and hung up since by then I was being weighed.)

BUT my nurse said I should be sure to tell the insurance that she had been parked illegally...that that might make a difference.

I didn't get a chance to say a thing.
I lost my first come/first serve disabled parking spot too, so had to park way up the hill and walk down. That means the next time I drive, I'll have to climb the hill.
And thankfully I can go on the picnic at the waterfalls today, with someone else driving!!

  3. What an ordeal! I haven’t drive since my incident, just to be on the safe side, but if ya gotta, ya gotta.

    1. And another blogger had the midnight collapse...and checked out fine in ER...in Raleigh NC, Rev. John Pavlovitz. Oh, I guess he posted on FB, since I can't find any recent blogs by him.

  4. Oh dear, I know about those auto accidents. Important to point out she was in a no parking spot, if you have to call the insurers to make that point. Next time you drive, could you get a nice neighbor to retrieve your car and save you the hill climb?

    1. Good thoughts. I called the insurance again today, and they were interested in her being in a no parking spot. I stressed that she was the manager and thus she often parked there. But insurance adjusters will consider it, it might save them a penny.

    2. Definitely worth saying...and she should stop doing that now and making life difficult for others!!
