Um...

I found out today that I need surgery on my elbow as well as my shoulder as a result of the lovely car accident from last summer.

The thing that super sucks is that the surgeries cannot be done at the same time.

I've done fairly well maintaining my sanity during this year of hell. But, I have to admit, my attitude really blows right now. And, I'm sure my friends are completely sick of me complaining all of the time.

I need a new topic of conversation....

So, today I will rant on the car accident nightmare and it will be the last post on this topic in May (I promise! -- wait, do I hear applause?)...

Thus, I share this...

Why being injured in a car accident blows chunks:
1. you have to go to the doctor 84 times a week
2. none of your doctors talk to each other so you have to tell them everything everyone else already knows.
3. the insurance company employees are assholes
4. you have to hire a lawyer because of 3
5. you don't get jack for pain and suffering because of 4
6. after the initial accident, people forget you are injured and ask you to go skiing 94 times a month.
7. puts a damper on dating
8. puts a damper on pretty much everything
9. you are in pain constantly
10. you seriously consider amputation
11. you never want to see an US Weekly again
12. you stop playing the "what does he have" game in the waiting room; you know all of the people there.
13. you have to fill out a lot of forms
14. you lose / waste a lot of time dealing with items 1 - 14.

My upcoming surgeries will lay me out for about 6 months total. I am so over the whole thing, I can't tell you.

I think I need to get out my hammer and start nailing things... with my good arm, of course.

Ta da! Done.
