Since the last post, my mom had to go into emergency surgery. She had a blocked vein in her leg that ended up having to be completely removed from the inner leg to her heel. I have been having to take care of her during the weekend, and I must say it was very tiring emotionally and physically. But finally she is doing a little better. I visited her last night and she looked like she had a bit of color back in her cheeks. She also appeared to not be in so much pain. I found out last night that she will have to go back into surgery for the same thing on the other leg within a month. Whooopie! I also found out that my aunt will also have foot surgery in about two weeks. So I will have to two patients to take care of. Hooray for me!
Todd's dad is now carpooling with Todd and I. Makes sense since all of us work within half a mile of each other. With gas prices topping at almost $5 a gallon, carpooling is the best way to go right now. Our arrangement is that Todd and I are driving and in exchange, Todd's parents do our laundry for us. This arrangment works out perfectly since both of us consider our time precious since we have so little of it during the week. So every couple of days, Todd gives his parents our dirty laundry after coming home. Then Todd's dad will take it home and bring it the next day (clean of course. Tee hee) when he meets at our house the next morning to carpool.
So getting down to the nitty gritty...Yesterday Todd and I were not having the best day in general. When we got home, we parked and we realized that the manager was standing outside near our apartment door. Hmmmm...thats wierd we thought. Well I stayed in the car because Todd and I were going to go to Souplantation for dinner and Todd was going to give our dirty laundry to Todd's Dad. Well Todd came back to the car and mumbled something very quickly and then told me to go upstairs and get the laundry for his Dad. Well, I go and get the laundry and give it to his dad when Todd's dad Greg, tells me, "You realize that your car got struck by another car right?' I look out toward the street and realize that Todd's Hyundai Santa Fe that was parked on the street was struck by a vechicle on the passenger side of the car. How depressing. So we looked at the damage and it looks like the frame has been damaged and there is a lot of internal damage to the car. I will post a few pics of what the front damage looks like.
So we found out that one of the tenants from our apartment complex was trying to make a left turn out of the parking lot in our apartment complex. The Hyundai was parked across the street. Well anyhow, the lady was in the process of turning left when a car was flying up the street. The other car stopped in time, but the lady who hit us panicked and gunned it going straight. In order to avoid going into a ditch, she swerved and hit our car before resting in....the ditch that she tried to avoid. The pictures above just show the front damage to the car. There is so much internal damage to the car that it is not safe to drive it anymore. If it is getting fixed, it has to be towed away. Yeah its that bad. Todd and I are not sure what to do at this point but I will keep everyone posted with the latest details of what is happening with our claim. Talk to you later!
