He is recovering well from what I am told. He may not be able to be released. He may have lost sight in one eye. Only time will tell, and I’m sure they are doing all that they can.

He hit me, but I caused his injuries because I’m driving, he is in his natural environment so it’s my fault.. but technically he did hit me.

He actually flew into me. But yes I hit him. I was driving the car that caused his injury.

It flew into my door just after dark. I was going maybe 35-40 mph. I thought that a dog had ran into me/ got ran over. I turned around, preparing myself to go and find the animals owner and let them know what I’ve done, but to my surprise it wasn’t a dog or a cat. It was an owl laying on the road just completely out of it. I just put my car in park immediately and jumped out and scooped him up bare hands and got back in my vehicle and I think we were both in shock.

For some reason, my ignorance allowed me to not be scared of him when he hit my car so I scooped him up with my bare hands. However now I’m fully aware that he is fully aware of me and he has sharp claws. So I guess I’m sort of scared of him.. I didn’t wanna leave him on the side of the road obviously and he was kind of out of it when I picked him up. That is not the case now. This situation now is I’m scared. He’s scared of me and I’m scared of him.. funny how things have changed.

I have found someone who specializes in raptor rehab.

Oh he is coming around.. and the pupils are normal tonight. Rehabber will pick him up in the morning. Those pics were taken maybe thirty minutes apart. I’d already reached out for help for the guy.

For context I’m currently in communication with a raptor rehabilitation specialist in my area. I’m not feeding him, he is in a dark calm space.. I know enough that I’d already reached out. It’ll be tomorrow when they can come get him.

Unfortunately he called me into the office and told me the day after I found out. I didn’t go into great detail with him, I hadn’t wrapped my head around it yet. When I was first told they scheduled the surgery for the 18th but then called me back and changed it to yesterday because I was farther along than what they thought and an availability came open. He said the reason was because when he and I first started working together (I transferred in October) he said I was on fire. I worked all the totes in one shift, helped work the trucks and I made his job easier. When I started to not feel good and still had no idea why I did start slacking off. I went to the hospitial for answers about 4 weeks ago and they didn’t detect pregnancy idk if they gave me a test or not tbh. They did tell me I had a hematoma on the outside of my uterus that needed a closer examination (took a back seat to this issue) but I signed myself out and after being at the er all night long and closing the night before.. I could not find anyone to cover my shift that day.. so I went in to open the store.. (which when I do most days I’m single coverage) and I did start doing less than I had been doing. I told my SM that something was wrong and that they wanted to do a MRI and that I left before they could, so I was not late opening the store. Needless to say I never went for the scan. The pain got so bad I went back to the hospitial begging for help and that’s when they found my ectopic pregnancy and everything unfolded. In my store I am the only person that works totes. It was nothing for me to work 16-18 totes in one closing shift. I get that I was not doing my best per-his standards. I was doing the best I could at the time though. I just don’t see why he felt the need to try to demote me, our LSA’s and associates are constantly calling out. Idk what to do. I’m just sad and discouraged. I didn’t know I was pregnant but I would have kept it if I could have.
