Just an update. The driver had a court hearing today about the OVI. He was a no-show so they issued a warrant for his arrest.

Edit: now don't hate me for doing this, but they say there's no such thing as bad press and well, I figure this situation doesn't have to be all bad. For those of you that didn't know, I'm raising money for my Service Dog's training. I will be bringing him home on May 3rd. I just received my official documentation and prescription yesterday. So in hopes of spreading awareness, I'm posting this here. https://www.gofundme.com/ServiceDog4Jeremy

I'm all about transparency as well. If you would like to see where you're money is going, I have copies of all the money orders and receipts. Thank you all again!


It's been a rough day. I had just mailed out a money order for my service dog. I left the post office, and this guy almost pulls out in front of me. Thankfully, I missed him. I drive no more than a half mile and stop at a traffic light. Next thing I know, the same guy is flying up behind me. He stomps his brakes and his car turns completely sideways, then BAM! It was enough force to drive the rear bumper on my Durango into the rear wheels. My trailer hitch took a lot of the impact but also caused the frame to bend. Thankfully, my dash cam caught it all. Before the squad took me, I popped the SD card out of the dash cam and put it in my wallet. I found out later that the guy was drunk, had an open container, and some type of narcotics in the car. He also didn't have insurance. So for now, no vehicle for us. I thought I had uninsured motorist coverage. Turns out, I have underinsured motorist and uninsured motorist injury only. I hate insurance companies.

So for tonight, I'm just going to lay here and nurse my head and neck. They're still really sore.
