Reminder to my comrades on bicycles to be very careful out there. I thought I saw the FedEx driver see me, but clearly I was mistaken. Now I've got new hardware in my knee (the good one, of course) and seven staples in my noggin.
jfc, sending u good healing vibes not much but all I can do from here ΰΌΌ γ€ β_β ΰΌ½γ€
I hope it hurt as little as possible, that sounds like a bad one :(
don't miss out on the easy lawsuit money
I feel awful for the driver. I also drive for work, albeit just a Tacoma. I'm pretty sure it I hit a pedestrian, short of them jumping in front of me, I'd be losing my job. We should hold ourselves to a higher standard regarding driving and especially safety. That said, I do not want the guy to lose his job. BUT, yes, after consulting with a couple trusted friends, one of them the one who got me into communism, and was advised to sue the pants off the company. So I called a lawyer. The truth is I can't afford not to sue, as I will be out of work for potentially months. I have a 80 hours of leave available to me once I go on official medical leave, and I have short-term disability insurance. But both if those things cover 40 hours a week (the STDI only a portion of that, iirc), and I work and budget for 45 to 50. I've got no savings. Things are going to get financially dicey pretty quickly.
Im so sorry that happened, comrade but also glad it wasn't worse!
