Hello, readers. Just thought I would let you all know that my 2009 Toyota Yaris was written off by the insurance company because it would be cheaper to pay me what the car was worth to them ($9,600) than to pay to have it fixed ($11,600 including a $800 paint job). I spent my only day off last week at O'Regan's in Bridgewater, and the incredible staff that set me up with my first Yaris found me an identical model, same color, just two years newer, and it took us 5 hours of phone calls and paperwork and some incredible assistance by my grandparents in order to refinance and get my new car home in time to give my rental back.
In other news, I have had the busiest work week of my life! 54.5 work hours between last Sunday and today and I am totally wiped. I went to my physiotherapy appointment on Thursday, where I was informed I have Whiplash 2, and that my scoliosis is now so pronounced you can tell by looking at my shoulders and hips while I am standing straight that I have the curvature in my spine. I have to go for physiotherapy twice a week and massage therapy once a week for the next two months. I have a page of stretch exercises to do while I am home to keep my muscles moving and help them stretch out and relax more. But apparently whiplash is very common and much easier for someone with scoliosis to get as opposed to someone with a regular spine. So that's lovely news in itself.
Also, I made a new friend in a co-worker. She likes the same kind of music I do (which is everything from every genre), loves old records, is a huge fan of the 20's-60's styles, and is just way cool! And also, when I told her about my MRKH, she just asked one question and that was it! It was unbelievable. I don't think I've ever met anyone that found out about my MRKH and didn't want to play 20 Questions! She's just a pretty cool cat, haha. I also encountered a nurse the other night at outpatients who knew what my syndrome was, but that's not nearly as impressive as she is part of the medical community!
Anyways, I must go get some Voltaren rubbed on my shoulder, upper back and neck, and relax here for a bit before another early night tonight. Thanks for reading!
