Totaled My Car This Morning

[silent meowlook]

No, I don't think he was dumped. It would be easy to sell him. I just can't see someone paying thousands of dollars for him and then dumping him. But I can't imagine he wouldn't be neutered either. I think someone is looking for him.

I am also starting to wonder if he is in fact not neutered. I did not check him myself and am going off the word of someone else who does allot of cat rescue. She said she saw testicles but didn't feel them. Sounds really creepy that these are the things I ask people.

If he is an intact male and if someone is looking for him it would probably be a breeder.

 

[silent meowlook]

Thats what I would think because who else would have an intact male in their house. The smell alone would be unbearable. I have checked with all the local breeders and rescue groups as well as veterinarians.

S silent meowlook are you ok hun?

 

[silent meowlook]

Thank you. Yes. I am sore but ok. The air bag hurt but it would have been so much worse without it.

 

[strider rose]

S silent meowlook im so glad to hear that .... did they give any meds for pain ?

 

[silent meowlook]

No. I didn’t go to a doctor or the hospital. I hate those places. I ride horses so I know my injuries pretty well. Think I just have bruised ribs and nose. They don’t do much for that. Where I live they only prescribe ibuprofen for pain since there is such a big opiate problem around here.

 

[strider rose]

S silent meowlook yeah the hospital here where i live is like that . i cant take ibuprofen cause i have crohns disease and it would irritate my colon so i take tylenol

 

[silent meowlook]

I’m not taking anything for it. I try not to take medication unless I really need it. It’s getting better or I’m getting used to it. I am so lucky I am not really hurt. Going to go to work tomorrow.

Many years ago a friend of mine's daughter was in an accident. She was in the passenger seat and there was no airbag but she was wearing her seatbelt and she had a cracked collarbone from the seatbelt. At the emergency room she was told that is a common injury with a seatbelt, I am sure more so without an airbag, but it would have been much worse without the seatbelt.

 

[silent meowlook]

Without the seatbelt, I would have gone through the windshield. The impact was enough to send the van backwards over 30 feet.

Tried to work today but was sent home because I looked pale etc after I moved the wrong way. Ribs are so touchy.

GOOD. Ribs are nothing to be stoic about. Rest up. 🫖

I hope that you feel better soon. Car accidents have both physical and emotional repercussions so take care of yourself.

 

[AbbysMom]

I'm so sorry and so glad you are OK. I hope you are feeling better soon and can get things worked out with insurance quickly.

You did the right thing. A very wise doctor once told me to listen to my body which is exactly what you did. Have they been understanding at work? I hope the rest will help you to feet better soon.

 

[silent meowlook]

Yes, they have been great at work. Considering she has lost a lot of money, having to cancel all the surgeries, I’d say fantastic.

I did work today and it was ok. I am not shy about saying I can’t do something, which meant the vet had to do all the lifting. I always tell employers when they hire me that “ I don’t suffer in silence “ and I don’t. I have learned to be my own advocate when it comes to work. It is best that way. If I feel like I am not being treated fairly or I have issues with something, or if I need a break cause I’m hungry, believe me, everyone will know. Of course it helps that I have over 30 yrs experience and I’m really good at my job. I might not have had such good results when I was 18 with limited experience.

 

[silent meowlook]

Unfortunately, I had only liability and I was at fault. Thankfully, I have the best boyfriend in the world and now have another car.

I am sure that you are incredibly valuable to the practice where you work. Glad to hear that things are a little better.
