If you pr!ck us, do we not bleed? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that the villany you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction. MOV
Hey BL2, if the driver was at fault, sue him.
It may seem insignificant, but people need to be held accountable for all their actions, especially when driving a car. If her insurance will pay medical, cool, but sue her for pain and suffering and all else that goes with this kind of crap.

I don’t know where you live, but here in California, the pedestrian ALWAYS has the right of way. No matter if they’re in the cross walk or not! Kind of a good law, but can suck. You get those people who just jump out in front of you or don’t watch where they are walking, and I have to pay for their stupidity?!
brucelee2 - I strongly suggest you see a chiropractor as I can guarantee you that impact jacked your spine out of whack. Especially if it didn’t hurt much right after but got real stiff and sore the next few days. That shows that your vertebrae got misaligned and your muscles tightend and locked up in protective response. If not treated, it will over many years likely lead to disc-thinning, fusion, calcification and fusion. You don’t want that.
Bruce, I think you might’ve misinterpreted GDA. He’s really a kind gentle guy, but he expresses his feelings differently then most. By saying “it sucks you didn’t die u little *****.” he really means I love you, and hope you get better soon.
Thanks again for the support for those who gave it. Went to the doctor today. She said I’m extremely lucky- she said I didn’t even need x rays, that there was only soft tissue damage. I have a friend visiting this weekend who is a bodyworker (bowen, cranial sacral, cellular reprogramming…) so I will get worked on by her. Spoke to a lawyer today. Have a meeting with a claims adjuster next week. The amazing thing is that after being hit by a car going 30 kilometers+, especially since I bounced onto the hood/windshield and then the ground, and I don’t even have a bruise!, although I do have some pain. The doctor said I must have just relaxed and ‘loosened’ on impact. I haven’t trained/practiced MA too much/too long, but I credit it to natural flexibility/looseness and having stored up a certain amount of chi from chi qong/bagua. It reminds me of when I played high school football. I didn’t get put in much as I was small and not terribly athletic, but one day when we were losing pretty badly (we went 2-8 that year), the coach put me on the kickoff return team. Needless to say, to opposing coach had them kick the ball right to me. It bounced, I grabbed it, looked up, and was immediately tackled. A friend told me afterwards it was the hardest hit he’d ever seen. I guess I just relaxed/went limp, bounced, and got up (without fumbling). 'Nuff said-
Go forward, my son, and
be like unto a torch
upon the darkness. Thou
are stripped now, of all
that was before. Look
not to thy fellow men
for guidance or
countenance- they canst
advise you no longer.
Thou shalt be as dust
now, and dust shall be
upon the tongues of thy
enemy. Verily, thou
shalt herald the coming
of the new age upon
man."
