I don't really know why I'm posting this on a guinea pig forum, but whatever.
I almost got hit as well, but leaped forward in time. We were crossing the road after buying spinach at the local Safeway. I'm probably sure everyone who gets hit by a car blames the driver, but I just don't get how the person didn't see us. We looked down each road, made our presence known, and then started walking when we didn't see any of the cars move. It was at a 4-way stop. It was dark but I was wearing a neon orange bag. The guy sped up very quickly as he turned. Thankfully he had enough brains to stop and give his information. Our new health insurance has not kicked in yet.
My husband has to stay in the hospital as he shattered his ankle and needs surgery. He's going to have metal inside holding it together. I heard his ankle breaking and now I feel very sick thinking about it. Yet, I can't get it out of my head.
I'm angry, sad, and my self-worth is very low. I'm 22 years old and absolutely clueless as to how to deal with insurance and other such "grown-up" things. My husband is always there for me and I have no idea how to make myself useful. Seeing him in pain is just awful.
Thanks for letting me rant, O kind and gentle guinea pig people!
