Nothing new

There isn't much going on at the moment I don't think. I got my car back, got it inspected again and it passed, I have to take it back to the body shop at some point because the driver side door doesn't close right. I can hear air whistling when I drive. I am not overly impressed with that body shop. I thought if I took it to a dealership body shop they would do a better job but not so much. Anyway, thats about it for now. I have a headache. I believe I will go to bed.

I got it back!

Well I got my car back today. Even though they tried to inspect it for me and it FAILED! They said that I could drive it for about 50 miles and it will reset the modules or something then I can bring it back and they will do it again at no charge since I already paid. Thats really no big deal I guess. I am going out to my sister's tomorrow so I will easily get the 50 miles in. Anyway, after driving a brand new car for almost a month and then getting into my really not new car it really magnifies the crappiness but eh, what are you gonna do? It looks like its supposed to I guess. It drives like it supposed to I guess, its hard to remember specifically what was normal because it has been almost a month since I have driven it. One thing I do know for sure is that it still tries to DIE after I start it and go to pull out of my parking spot at work. DAMN CAR!

On the other main subject in my life.....I think I might bleed to death!

My car

Nope, still don't have it back. Everyday this week I call Allstate and everyday I am told that they are approving the extra costs and they are sending the paperwork to the body shop and everyday this week I call the body shop and they say they still haven't heard from them. So today I go through the whole routine again and at 5 o'clock I call Allstate AGAIN because I had to leave him a voicemail when I called him earlier and he puts me on hold and calls the body shop. He comes back and tells me everything is taken care of an I should be able to pick up my car tomorrow. So I will call the body shop in the morning and make sure I can pick it up before I return the rental. Keep your fingers crossed!

Oh and since its been almost a month since the accident and inspection was about to expire when I got in the accident its now WAY past due and illegal so I called the body shop and asked them if they have a way to get it inspected and since they are a dealership they do have a service center that will do it so she said they would take it over and get it inspected for me and I can just pay for it when I pick it up. Let's hope that all goes well too!

I know...

that having my period will make me healthier in the female aspect but IT IS NOT FUN! When its been as long as it has for me since my last period once I have a period it is HORRIBLE. CAUTION: TOO MUCH INFO coming up....

Sunday was a horrible day. My back hurt, I was bleeding profusely, and I felt like complete and total crap! I literally had to "go to the bathroom" every 30 minutes in order to not make a complete mess. During the night between Sunday and Monday I set the alarm for every 2 hours so I could get up and check to make sure there was and would be no mess. That is INSANE! I happened to have some prescription strength Ibuprofen that my doctor gave me for my back and also some hydrocodone. Taking both of the didn't even completely stop the cramps and did absolutely nothing for my back. It was not fun (did I say that already?). If this is the way its going to be every time I have a period then I have changed my mind. I don't want to be healthy female wise. Maybe I don't even want to have my own biological child. I give up! I will adopt!

No really, the horrible stuff only lasted about 24 hours and I guess I can handle that if someone could promise me that going through that once a month would eventually give me a baby. From what I have been told it was only that bad because it had been so long since my last period and if I stay normal it will not be that bad again. Let's hope!

I woke up Monday morning (after being up every 2 hours) and felt fine. The crazy bleeding had slowed down and I no longer felt like something was trying to claw its way out of my stomach (I might expect to feel this way if I were pregnant but I'm not!). Anyway, I have started the birth control now and should have another normal period next month. Let's hope it goes better than this one!

OUCH!

I had my sonogram today. It was kinda painful. If I hadn't already been on pain meds for my back I may have come off that chair!

Anyway, there does appear to be a large cyst on my left ovary. He had a hard time seeing my left ovary because it was hiding behind my uterus. After moving that thing around in there and trying to push my uterus out of the way (the painful part) he did get a glimpse but I think it was inconclusive.

He put me on birth control. Yes, I go to the doctor to try and have a baby and he puts me on birth control!...LOL....Kind of backwards if you ask me but he said that this will give my ovaries a "rest" and hopefully will make the cyst go down on its own. I will go back when my next period starts and he will look again. So until then I guess I just get to wait. Yippee for me!

Sonogram...

I will have the sonogram on my ovaries on Friday. I'll let everyone know what we find out.

Nothing new really...

Still waiting for my car to be repaired. Not that I am in a hurry because I LOVE the rental car but I know I can't keep it forever.


A few more days of the Provera and then I will go in for the sonogram. I will update once I know what's next.


In the mean time, here is a picture of Addisyn. She turned 2 last week!

Ok....I take it back...for now!

So I got up at 8 this morning and called Allstate. Come to find out the $3000 check was for the REPAIRS on my car. Well someone should have told me! The lady I talked to said the guy that did the estimate tried to call me but the number he had was disconnected. I asked her if she could see what the number was and she said it was a cell phone number I had like 5 years ago! I have no idea how they got that number. My dad said maybe the loan company on the car but I was thinking about it and the home number he had was our apartment we lived in before we moved into the house and we didn't even have the car then. We didn't get the car until 2 years after we moved here. Who knows! So anyway she read me an email it says he sent me (which I didn't get). It said that he had estimated the damage to be $3004.28. I could take the car to the body shop of my choice and then if they get in there and it cost more that they estimated the body shop could bill them directly. Once all that was clarified and my blood pressure went back down below boiling I got out the phone book and looked for the closest Dodge dealership. I decided to have them take it to Allen Samuels Dodge. I called the wrecker service and they said they could get it there today. So my car should be there now and they should start its reconstructive surgery on Monday. My poor car looked so pitiful sitting in that wrecking yard and torn up and FILTHY. Hopefully it will be all better and get a bath before I get it back.

So sorry for the crazy lady post last night but as you can tell I was EXTREMELY upset. I am all better now!

I give up!

I am tired of this game. I don't even want to play a new one. I want to just sit in my house and do nothing until the roof falls in on my head which with my luck might possibly be tomorrow. I got home from work today, checked the mail and found three envelopes from Allstate. The first one was the check for $500 that they offered me for my "pain and suffering". The second one was a check for $3004.82. Yep! Thats right! They totaled my f***ing car!!!!!!!!! Did they call and tell me? NO! Did they even call and tell me that they had even been to look at it? NO again! I haven't heard a WORD from them since the lady called me about "the injury portion of my claim". Usually if I received a $3000 check in the mail I would be ecstatic but not when its supposed to pay for something that I owe over $6000 on! I tried to call them and they were already closed so I will be calling at 8am tomorrow morning for some answers and I am not getting off the phone until someone tells me what the hell I am supposed to do. I have this rental car they are supposed to be paying for. How much longer do I get to keep it? No one has said ANYTHING.

I am so tired of getting the shit end of the stick. I can't do anything right. We finally get the money to be able to go to the doctor about the fertility situation and BAM something happens and shoots everything to hell. I give up! I can't afford a new car, I can't afford a baby, I can't afford SHIT because everytime I make a little leeway and start towards a goal something else knocks me back UNDER the ladder. Why do I even try? Sorry for the language but I am so pissed right now its all I can do to keep from throwing something through a window! I'll just sit here and be pissed off and cry and maybe someday SOMETHING will go right.

I know there are people that have worse luck than me but in my world this is pretty shitty. You know, I help others as much as I can. I have friends that have no money and I let them come over, I feed them dinner, give them gas money if I can. I even once gave a co-worker $50 so she could go to the doctor and get prescriptions because she was sick and couldn't afford to go. Why do I deserve all this? Did I do something that I am not aware of? Will the bad "karma" or whatever you want to call it EVER go away?

Irritated!

I still haven't heard anything from the insurance company on my car. I have some weirdo calling me every hour wanting to "help" me. She says she can get my car out of the impound and it not cost me any money. I told her that the insurance company should be getting it out of the impound so it won't cost me any money anyway. She said something about making so I don't have to pay my deductible. I told her I am not at fault and its not going through my insurance so I don't have to pay a deductible. She then asked why I won't let her help me. Hmmm....let me think.....I DON'T NEED HELP! How hard is that to understand? So finally after trying to get her off the phone for almost 20 minutes I just tell her I need to talk to my husband and I will let her know. Well she proceeded to call me TWO more times today but I did not answer. In one of the voicemails she said that the insurance company had been to look at my car. What is she sitting watching my car??? How would she know they had been to the impound yard to look at my car otherwise? Its kind of creepy!

When I got home from work I had a message on my answering machine from the loan company. I called them back and they said they got a notice from the wrecking yard that they want a lein release so they can get rid of my car. Uh, NO! I told her that I was in an accident last week and I am just waiting for the insurance company to take care of the car. She asked if it was totaled and I told her that the insurance company hadn't notified me as to if they had looked at it yet or not. She took my claim # and the insurance adjuster's number and said she would call him. I hung up with her and called the insurance adjuster myself and his voicemail says he will be out of the office until Monday! I don't know if that means that it will just have to wait until he is back or if someone else is working on it. If something happens to my car while this moron goes on vacation there will be HELL to pay! I also tried to call the adjuster that called me about the injury portion just to see if she could look and tell me anything and she was already gone for the day so I guess I will try her tomorrow afternoon if I don't hear anything from someone before about 3 o'clock.

MY GOODNESS WHAT A MESS!!

All in all I really don't care how long they take with the whole thing as long as I can keep the rental the entire time because I LOVE that car but I don't want my car being sold at auction or something stupid in the mean time. I did get a letter from the wrecker service telling me how much it cost a day for it to be there which I faxed to the insurance company but I didn't get anything else about it needing to be moved. I guess we will see what happens.

Updates

I just got back from the doctor. He gave me a prescription for Provera to make me have a period then I am supposed to go in on the third day of my period so he can do a sonogram of my ovaries to see what exactly they are doing. So then we will go from there I guess. He has lots of ideas so hopefully one of them will be successful.

The moron from Allstate called me while I was on my way back to work and just reiterated yet again why I call him the moron. He calls and asks me what the name of the place is that I want my car repaired at. I told him I didn’t have any place in mind I was just going to have it done where ever they want it done at. He said ok and that he would get an appt set up for it to be repaired. So then I asked if they had gone to look at it yet and he didn’t know so he looked and said that if they had they hadn’t put the info in the system yet. So I told him I was just curious. So then he says that he will call me once they look at it to get me set up with one of their preferred shops. So after all that there was really no reason for him to call me. Nothing was accomplished other than him making himself look like an idiot which I already knew!
