injuries, illness, insurance
I've spent the last two weeks learning about the inner workings of a property damage insurance claim, which is relatively straightforward, and a bodily injury insurance claim, which is maddening at best, and paralyzing at worst. Geico, the insurer of the other guy, has yet to even look at my crushed vehicle. It's been over two weeks now. I have retained counsel for my personal injury claim, though, as that is a battle best left to the professionals. The bright side is that my three-times-a-week pain therapy includes massage, so I've got that going for me...
Kai has come down with another, although much milder, cold. His extreme unhappiness this past weekend did prompt a visit to the after-hours pediatric center, whereupon our arrival Kai immediately cheered up. Oh the irony... I will say though, that if I were to be in the pediatric field, this is the kind of place I would want to work in. They don't even open until 5 during the week, and 1 on the weekends. That's PM. That's my kind of schedule.
At any rate, they determined that Kai did not have another ear infection, as we feared, just a low-grade fever and a very runny nose. We put him on some kind of herbal juice remedy that Erin found at Whole Foods that was made for kids and their all-too-frequent colds, and he's been in much better spirits since then.
Kai's 18-month check-up came and went without too much fuss. He has grown two inches and gained two pounds since his last visit, which is amazing when you consider that two pounds is nearly 10 percent of his own body weight, in only three months. Only Major League Baseball players grow that quickly. Ouch. Is it too soon? It's too soon.
So between doctor visits, insurance adjusters, lawyers, case managers, work, and sick child, I've had plenty to write about and no time to actually write. The pain in my neck and shoulder and back persists, although I should probably not talk about it here until the case has been closed. You longtime readers know how my words have been misconstrued against me, so it's probably best that I keep my mouth shut until it's all wrapped up. Stay tuned for more news.
