After talking with SGI all morning, and getting nowhere but stuck (yes, you can get your van fixed....IF you pay the deductible, etc, etc....yes, even if it's not your fault, until the other guy calls us, you'll get reimbursed, etc, etc...what? No money for deductible? Too bad. Kids have to sit in the back, eh? Too bad), Husband decided to try to appeal to the other guy's good nature. Phoned him, told him the situation....good thing he did. The other guy wasn't even GOING to report it! He thought since he had no damage that he didn't have to, and by the time SGI went through all their procedures and all, it would have taken over a MONTH to get everything through the works. The guy phoned right away and reported it, and I got a call around 2PM from SGI saying go ahead, rent a car, get the van fixed, they'll send the bill to SGI so the other guy can pay. So Husband has gone to do that, and hopefully all will be fixed and we'll have our van back relatively soon, depending on how long it takes the garage to get the parts and get them replaced, but in the meantime we will have transportation. What a relief. Thankfully the guy who hit us was a decent fellow and didn't try to deflect the blame....and I think it really hit him and his passengers hard when I opened the side door to get to Elizabeth, who was sobbing her eyes out (understandably) and realized they had just hit a van with two little ones in the back.
My upper back is still in a lot of pain, but I'm hoping an electric massager we bought will do the trick, and professional treatment won't be required. Husband's back and neck are bothering him, and I think he may need to see a massage therapist or something. The kids are fine. I thank God that just the day before, I had tightened Son's car seat straps to adjust for his lighter coat (instead of his bulky winter jacket he'd been wearing before). If they hadn't been tightened, who knows if he would have had whiplash or something.
Oh yeah....and Husband will be on CBC Regina talking about credit card skimming. Talk about great exposure for the business! Woo hoo!!!!!

About Me
- Scuzzlewump
- I am a married mommy of two kids, two cats, and, until recently, a dog. I used to teach elementary school, owned a homemade Montreal style bagel and jam business, drove a school bus, drove cool trucks for Enterprise Commercial Trucks, worked at McDonald's, and now am doing janitor work, baking, and trying to get into catalogue/flyer modeling. I attend a Baptist church with my son, sing with the Gateway Chorus of Sweet Adelines International, and love to laugh. I live for dark chocolate, plus a multitude of other yummy foods. I'm a great listener, but unfortunately am also a huge rambler....I often talk too much...not so great at the whole "comfortable silence" concept.

Sorry about your smash. Try not to be too depressed. Glad kids ok. My brother had similar smash once. Wore a neck brace for a while. Received a tidy sum from the courts for whiplash.
