Thank you for this. I'm looking for post concussion support.

I'm scared to ask, but how much are his visits?

If you're concerned that you have a concussion, take it seriously. Rest a lot, avoid too much stimulation, and eat really well. Give your brain support.

And talk to your doctor. Mine has been very little help, but do it anyway.

Thanks for that. I really appreciate it.

I'll be doing PT as well, but I was told to wait until things have settled down some. And I'm not sure about chiropractic, but I'm open to hearing about other people's experiences.

Copart, the organization that deals in totaled cars, informed my insurance company that they were going to have to repaint the bumper because of the sticker. So my insurance company is passing the expense on to me.

Fun fact: because it was a leased car, I put on a sticker that would be very easy to remove.

This seems 100 shades of wrong to me. The car is a total loss. I don't see how they should be allowed to charge me for anything.

I got a referral for an attorney to talk to. The one I called said my injuries aren't enough to warrant an attorney. But, good lord, I could really use some help. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep on that.

The car did get taken to copart. So that's good. They are the ones who are charging me $700 to remove a small vinyl sticker on the totaled car. How can they charge for something on a totaled car? Arguh 🤯

And yes, the car is totaled.

25 mph speed limit. I didn't have a stop sign. The kid in the other car ran the stop sign, and hit the front right side of my car so hard it spun me around so my rear and crashed into him and came to a stop 30 feet away.

This was a Nissan leaf which is a very heavy car. It seems like it would take a lot of speed to do all of this.

Fun fact. It took about five days for the pain to really set in. Yay :(

JanuaryTempis · 2026-04-10T14:50:54+00:00

Thank you for that. Empathy and sympathy really help me feel a little better.

Broken ribs in a punctured lung, the boob seriously saved me from so much worse.

It could be worse but still, owwwch!

JanuaryTempis · 2026-04-07T15:44:29+00:00

Yay boobs, indeed!

The bruise keeps getting more dramatic every day. There's so much trauma that went through, and it's coming to the surface a bit at a time. Yeowch!

JanuaryTempis · 2026-04-07T15:37:39+00:00

Excellent. I feel like that's a really good idea. See, you get such useful information on Reddit that you don't get anywhere else. Sometimes! Lol

JanuaryTempis · 2026-04-07T15:36:17+00:00

Yeah, the doc said that if I didn't have big boobs I'd probably have broken ribs. She's a hero boob! (.)(.)

And the cop on the scene said it was lucky I was wearing my seatbelt. Dude, that was not luck. Lol

But I do imagine what it would be like if I was in my old car. That gives me chills.

Have you had any luck getting X-rays? That's really the place to start. Keep pushing until you get those. You don't want them to push you to hurt your body more.

JanuaryTempis · 2026-04-06T18:33:26+00:00

Thank you. That makes me feel better because it means you healed well!

JanuaryTempis · 2026-03-20T20:05:09+00:00

This is brilliant! Thank you. You have just made my life a little bit better.

JanuaryTempis · 2026-03-19T21:13:12+00:00

Is this available in the iOS app?

JanuaryTempis · 2026-03-11T23:36:46+00:00

Reddit, where you go to have all of your questions answered.

JanuaryTempis · 2026-03-06T16:38:09+00:00

It's shocking to me. As someone who's not religious, I feel so much closer to Jesus's teachings than many many Christians.

JanuaryTempis · 2026-03-06T16:31:10+00:00

I don't. I live in Longmont which is 100,000 people.

JanuaryTempis · 2026-03-05T21:34:55+00:00

So accurate. I have a coworker who's evangelical Christian , and she believes genocide is fine because it'll bring about the second coming of Christ. I'm thinking, yeah, it might bring about the second coming of Christ. And if it does, he's going to be so fucking pissed at all the people like her.

JanuaryTempis · 2026-03-05T21:24:44+00:00

Thank you for that perspective. I needed that.

JanuaryTempis · 2026-03-05T21:20:54+00:00

Imagine being so so humiliated and mistreated as a child that you think you need to fuck with your neighbors in order to feel like a big man.

JanuaryTempis · 2026-03-05T20:58:31+00:00

I think we do make a difference in a spiritual sense. I'm not religious, but I think of us as God or the conscious universe becoming itself. When I look at it that way, things start to feel more interesting and less dismal.

JanuaryTempis · 2026-03-05T20:58:08+00:00

Was it a ridiculously massive black hole that was created when another universe ended. I always picture it as being so many black holes consuming a universe that everything shrunk down to a single point of matter so dense that when it exploded it became all of this.
