Was there a police report? If they were called they should have filled one out.

Ask the police if someone reported it or if are they investigating it as a hit and run.

If you don't want to work this hard - :toilet: take two extra strength Tylenol and two Ibuprofen every six hours instead of the opiate based drugs.

If it happened anywhere near a commercial building there might be surveillance footage of the accident.

Raggie if it was a hit and run, you might be able to get your medical bills covered if your state has a insurance fund that covers hit and run. It's probably a good idea to consult a lawyer about what you need to do. Many lawyers will give you a quick phone consult at no cost.

Sorry that happened to you raggie33. My wife and I will pray for you. Please wait about putting yourself in a assisted living facility. I'm ignorant about stuff like that, but my fear would be that if you prematurely give up your freedom and independence it might be difficult to get it back. When my wife took a year and a half vacation from me after her surgery from an auto accident the church folks where I went to church cared about me. Had a nice older lady bring me cooked meals. That homemade chicken pot pie was delicious. You may not want to go that route, but some churches even have a fund to help people that need it. There is no obligation either. Please don't give up on yourself. I have faith that you can bounce back.

+1000 on that. A little over 3 years ago my mother was in one of those places for rehab for about 2.5 months. Some people were there in custodial care long term. Such a depressing place to even visit one or twice a week. I felt sorry for the people who were permanent residents. I'll blow my brains out before I'd go to one of those places. They're basically like penal institutions for old people, complete with lousy food.

This injury sounds like something which should heal completely in time, so even less reason to think of going into assisted living. IIRC raggie33 is ~50 years old, 8 years younger than me. Way too young to even think of assisted living.

There is a chance surveillance footage of the incident exists. Tell the police about it so they can look for it. If they can find the responsible vehicle, you have a great lawsuit.

I agree with jtr1962. Lots of good advice on here. On that age thing raggie33, I'll be 56 this year and bykfixer is 57 and jtr1962 is 58. No telling how many more people on here are older than you. You might wind up being the youngster of the bunch.

With all of us old fuds on here, this could be a virtual old age home!

ty for the kindest everyone do you think one of them lazy boy chairs will help me/??? I can't get out of bed with out servers pain from my rib or shoulder

 

[Poppy]

raggie,
I think you'll just have to suck it up. By the time the lazy boy chair is delivered, the pain will have subsided to the point that you will want to sleep in a bed, instead of a chair.
Then you can use the money that you would have spent on the chair, and buy yourself some steaks.

At least it's still cooler out, not terrible hot.
Healing up a bit & resting will be tons easier if it's cooler.

Maybe next week raggie, you'll start a thread on efficiency of high Amp 21700s' vs high mAh 21700s' or somethin' like that..

Hello Raggie,

I am just catching up and find out you got smashed and ended up in the hospital. What a bummer.

Sending positive thoughts and prayers hoping you find your way to perfect health quickly.
