hey everyone, i’m so sorry to have to do this but:
i was in a car accident two weeks ago that was not even remotely my fault and that totaled my car (which i owned) and injured me very badly. the top two pictures are pictures of the accident (my car is on the left – i hit that brick wall because the other driver blew a stop sign going so fast that when she hit me she threw me off the road and i spun out until i hit the wall head on)
the bottom two pictures are my bruises 2 weeks after the accident (yesterday)
needless to say the bruising and pain was awful for the last two weeks and it’s just now getting better (i’d post pictures of the immediate days-after injuries but most of it was on my chest/breasts and hips/stomach from slamming into my seatbelt so hard and i don’t feel comfortable posting those photos) but i still need further treatment. my knee still hurts so badly i can’t kneel on it and my upper right thigh (bottom right pic) has a massive hematoma and needs an MRI because they suspect my quad muscle has been torn entirely and the bruising has not subsided
the day after the accident i had to call out of work, which was very risky because – unfortunately – i had a sudden death in my family in late october. my stepsister died of an overdose and i had to take weeks off for her funeral and to support my family during “blackout periods” – so when my accident just before christmas and in the middle of another blackout period happened, my work was unwilling to give me anything but one single day off – the 13th, the day after my accident – which i spent in the ER for 6 hours being painfully tested and x rayed. since then i’ve been working full time, which is very painful and expensive for me with physical injuries and no car
in the last 2 weeks i’ve also developed severe headaches that occur daily. they didn’t check for a concussion in the ER bc i said my head didn’t hurt then, but now that 2 weeks have passed not only does my head ache daily but my body – especially my back, which wasn’t even x rayed initially – hurts so bad every day I can barely function at the end of the day. even when my lawyer arranges for me to see a chiropractor there will be a copay, and right now i can barely even afford to just get to work, much less pay medical bills that probably won’t be reimbursed until a year from now.
eventually things will settle and they will give me the money for pain and suffering owed to me, but that’s going to take a year at the very least and until then i need help. i have been left physically injured and without a car and my work is still demanding 40+ hours a week of on-my-feet labor out of me, and i can’t handle it all on my own. i am hurting badly.
i am a mentally ill traumatized lesbian who finally made it to a comfortable place in life only to have a close family member die unexpectedly and then end up in a horrific accident that wasn’t my fault at all. i owned that car and worked hard for it. it would have lasted me at least another 5 years, and it’s gone.
my work only pays me minimum wage + tips, which normally is more than enough to function. but after this accident i am struggling so badly both physically, emotionally, and financially i can barely stay afloat.
please help me. please. i can’t do this alone and my family isn’t close enough and doesn’t care enough to contribute whatsoever, and things are becoming dire.
my paypal is [email protected] and my squarecash is $wishbyspirit
thank you in advance to anyone who can help, things just aren’t working out for me right now and I don’t know how much longer I can keep things up
