Baby is two weeks old today and I am so exhausted. Tonight I’m just going to turn on the tv and set up camp in the living room.

Posting again with a smaller amount.

I was in a car accident in May, out of work for over a month due to injuries and have fallen behind on some bills. I am almost caught up on everything now but I need a little boost to get me to next Friday when I will be fully back on track. I can provide the police report from accident, pay stubs upon returning to work late June or the doctor’s excuse if needed.

On May 25th I was in a serious car accident at 26 weeks pregnant. Thankfully the baby is okay but I have injuries that will need surgery after the baby is born as it is too risky to operate this late in the pregnancy. I am looking at up to nine months of recovery time at this point. I am in so much pain and all I can take is Tylenol and use heat and ice packs. My job has been super understanding but I miss going to work and feeling productive as all I do now is lay in bed, the bathtub, and sometimes cook dinner. My partner is very supportive and I’m so thankful for him.
My baby shower is next weekend and I can’t comprehend going. I’m barely able to stay upright for more than a few hours and I don’t think I have the capacity to act happy and celebrate with a bunch of friends and family. My partner’s sister is coming from out of state and while I’m grateful she wants to come participate I don’t think I feel up to hosting as she will be in town for almost a week. Thankfully she is staying in a hotel so I will have some time alone. My best friend is throwing the shower and she’s so excited for me. Money is tight for her so I’d feel bad to cancel right now when she has already bought food and decorations. Rescheduling for later in the pregnancy isn’t really an option as my injuries will likely not get any better before surgery and I have a history of preterm labor so we are already cutting it close. I’m sorry for rambling but I’m so overwhelmed and sad right now. I want to cancel but I don’t want to seem ungrateful for the hosts and my friends who are planning on coming. Would I be horrible for cancelling?

I spent a lot of time on registration and financial aid forms and really don’t want to wait until fall as I’ve already transferred from my other school. Am I screwed?

On Monday we were headed to pick up my kids from their father when we were hit dead on by a man going 60mph while on his phone. The police report states that he was on his phone and there were several witnesses who gave report. Everything says he is at fault and he obviously received charges for that.
I am 27 weeks pregnant and began having contractions while in the ambulance. They were able to stop labor once I got to the hospital but we are still in a waiting game of whether I will make it full term or not. I have other injuries too such as a torn muscle in my arm and concussion. My daughter was in the car and is experiencing serious panic attacks when she is in the car when it is raining (similar weather to our accident.) We are going to take her to her pediatrician for a therapist referral tomorrow but I’m not sure what both her treatment and mine will look like. The man’s insurance offered us each 1k for emotional pain and inconvenience but that feels like a slap in the face as our whole world has turned around so we haven’t signed anything.

Where do we even begin to get compensated? And how should we decide on an appropriate number to ask for?

Without revealing too much I have spent the last several months in bed due to illness with enough energy only to doomscroll. I am feeling better now and am looking for something that will keep me hooked and entertained enough to leave my phone face down.

Books I have enjoyed in the past are Migrations by Charlotte McConnaghy, Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt, and The Wedding People by Alison Espach.
