Happy Earth Day

It's snowing. It was so windy I couldn't open the car door. Whee-ha. Am I too old to want my mommy? On the way in, someon kicked up stones and busted my windshield

Let's see Orthopedic Surgeon - Good news - it's not broken and no tendons or ligaments are torn. Bad news - There's inflammation of all the soft tissue AND enormous swelling in the sinus tarsi (a space between the bones). He doesn't even want me in therapy moving it around at this point. He wanted to cast it. I said, not possible, I need to drive. We compromised. I'm in a cam walker which is pretty much a removable cast.


The Lawyer - Good News - there is none. Bad News - I have to pay those attorny fees and the way I understand it is I can't really contest the judgement because I DO owe the money and it's not in my best interest to go to court over it. He said then after the judgement they'll try to collect and realize that I'm non-collectible. Does any one know is THAT when I get to tell my side of the story? I mean at first the lawyer said something about settling for X number of cents on the dollar after they take my assets (I have none) and attach my real estate (I have none, go for it guys).

Is it too late for a new life?

Which is the crux of all of this, really.

So when do they go after your friends, family, and next door neighbors?

I know you jest but it's actually real. Back when I got these loans the federal gov. said I was too YOUNG to borrow the money and they wanted my parents to co-sign. My parents said go to hell. If they hadn't they WOULD have gone after them.

it's snowing harder.

Oh heck that sucks :/ I'll be thinking of you.

And thank goodness for small mercies that the bone isn't broken at least.

That sucks mightily.

true since at this point it woudl be hard to heal but a lot of times soft tissue is even harder to heal

When are these lawyers going to realize that its a waste of time going after someone with no assets? Unbelievable.

it's the federal government, you're expecting intelligence?

Did you piss off the Powers That Be in a previous life?

I hope things get better soon.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I honestly think they're out to get me.

Thanks

What are your thoughts on declaring bankrupcy?

can't be done. They're unforgivable.
