My leg is broken in 7000 different places, my knee is shadered, my arm is broken, my wrist is swollen to all hell, I have a neck brace on and a few cracked ribs and some more bones I don't even know where in my body are located or how to even begin spelling them. I'll be on crutches/wheel chair for 7-9 months then it's physical therapy then after that it we'll see. I don't know how I'm alive but I here thankfully.

The Monte according to my father being the only one who has seen the car since said you couldn't even recognize what kind of make the car is its so twisted. I was t-boned, dragged 50 feet, hit a curb while the suv was still at throttle, rolled the Monte over and the suv landed on the underside of the Monte partially.

I remember everything up to the moment I saw the headlights hit my driver door,

Well I have to get up to pee and I refuse to ware a diaper or use an assistant to aid me in this but it's gonna take me 15 minutes to move 5 feet lol.

Pay attention while driving guys, look both ways after you get a green at an intersection before moving forward. I'll be in touch I don't have anything to do but sit in bed and watch tv all day anyways.

I was alone driving, 10 o'clock at night, other driver was alone too, he's in a worst shape than me from what I heard he has sever spine & neck damage.

I'm so used to working I don't know what the hell to do here beside sit and cry half the time. I'm gonna have my wife bring me the Xbox or something to kill time. Maybe read a book.... **** something! Anything!

But I found out a crappy fact, On disability you don't recive 100% of your actual income. Sucks man. Plus my job is IMO my greatest hobbie so that kinda kills the mood even more.

Anyways on the plus side I got AT&T going to my house to instal a few cameras and two way speakers and live two way monitors including small hand held tablets that all come to play in a way where I can watch and hear everything that happens in the house and I can interact with everyone in the house with extreme ease (kinda like Skype/face time) but continously for 24 hours. That way my wife & kids don't have to visit me as often.

Also Sunday morning they're transferring me to the hospital closest to my house for ease of visitation flexabilty (visitation allowed 24 hours a day) and I get a room with some room for guests to stay and relax a little more. And it comes with a patio for some fresh air and outdoor relaxation. Only problem is my bathroom is gonna be 20 feet away from the bed so it's gonna take me an hour of walking and balancing just to pee lmfao.

Doctor also informed me that my two health insurance companies are going to work together ((blue cross/blue shield & cobra) B.C.B.S. Is union workers mandatory health insurance and Cobra is my company's mandatory policy which both are fully paid by my employer. )) in covering me on every thing 100% until complete recovery aka back to work. (this includes all equipment I might need upon release & home stay like a stair lift elevator and manual or motorized wheelchairs and a reclining bed plus whatever else i might need)

So yea a few ups and some downs but it's this drama that's getting me by day by day for now though I really just wanna go home and be over with all this.

I get released from hospital later this week, I can physically walk around on a broken foot, knee & thigh bone with out crutches and the doc is just amazed by my progress so far. He even feels physical therapy might not be needed comes fully recovery.

I been working from home so to say. I made an arrangement with my boss to allow me to finish my projects and designs on my computer and in doing so he is writing me a personal check to make up for the diffrence of pay from disability (which is at 70% of my regular pay) so I don't have to worry about loss of income now.

Here's where it gets kinda bizzar (nobody understands why I did what I did except my father, I did the following out of the goodness of my heart in all honesty):
The driver that hit me was in the same hospital as me until last week where they send him to jail until our first court date in 2 months from now. I personally spoke with him on several occasions and we got along very well. I'm not holding and grudges on the man its faith and it happened now we continue on the path of life.

Anyways he was sent to jail and the day prior to that I saw his wife and 4 daughters (all under 6 years old) his wife doesn't work she takes care of the kids, living paycheck to paycheck and now with this no income for his family what's so ever. So I thought about it hard for a week and I decided to drop all charges agensit him (the DUI however that's something he has to fight on his own) but I couldn't bare the thought of hurting his family more by pressing criminal charges.
And then I did what my father calls it the proudest moment of his life lol, I bailed the man out yesterday, he couldn't afford the bail and was gonna have to wait it out in jail so..... $5000 of my personal money went to his bail. He's out as of now a free man so atleast he can go back to work to support his girls. I also got him a month lease on a car until his gets fixed. I also had my lawyer have him sign some papers declaring all criminal charges dropped. (The DUI charge is a state case not personal). I adviced his wife if they need any money come to me I'll help even though I'm the victim here. But gave her my address and phone number in case of anything.

He came by me today with his family and lots and lots of food. and I can tell the man is forever greatful but to see his kids smiling for the first time instead of crying it made it all worth it for me.

Ps. My wife got them all tickets to Wisconsin dells for 5 days for them to go and hopefully make the girls forget about all the bad things that happened and have them enjoy their life like a child should.

So yea pretty bizzar to many but I don't regret a thing I did and I think this will all play out for the best in the end.

I have a family member currently in law enforcement service in cook county and given his name and either DOB or badge # I can verify the last division that employed him prior to his retirement and optain far more info about him than you can imagine since you don't even have his phone number. Once I obtain that info I'll forward it to my lawyer, if all checks out then I can contact him and discuss how to go about everything.
