Drunk Driver's Suck!!

My uncle was hit by a drunk driver July 15. He was on his motorcycle driving home when a guy hit him going 70 m.p.h.  My uncle was not wearing a helmet but somehow survived. The accident happened at 2:30 in the morning. He was released from the hospital by 8:30 although he could not even stand up. For 5 days we took care of him as best we could. He was even brought back to another hospital 2 days later by ambulance, it took 2 hrs. for E.M.S to get him in the truck.  Again he was let go after only a couple of hrs. and very few tests, returned by E.M.S sice he still could not walk. He died 1 day and 1/2 later at 3 in the morning. He was 43, a teacher, husband, and father of three girls ages 8, 10, and 25. We buried him on his daughter's 25th b-day. The guy spent one night in jail for a P.I.  He had no insurance, and his license had been suspended since 1999. He claimed another person was driving but, didn't know his name. The druck was released to him without ever having any fingerprinting done. He had his truck stripped within 4 days and is still walking  (probably driving) around as a free man today.

I have been so depressed lately! We buried my uncle last Thursday and I still can't beleive he's gone at the age of 43. I'm finally gonna get in to see my shrink tomorrow but I doubt it will do any good. I went to my family clinic 2 wks ago and was basically told "everybody has bad days", and that although I've been on effexor for 2yrs with little success, she didn't want to change my meds because , "effexor is a broad spectrum reliable drug".  I guess it dosen't matter that it's not working!! I am so tired of feeling like crap!

No offense taken. I've actually told my two girls I hope they never get on a motorcycle. My uncle loved the things though.  He did autobody for a living. He and my dad even owned a shop in South Carolina when we were kids. What really sucks is the fact that he had been riding for so long, in so many places. They lived in Dallas for the longest and he died in a s!*thole little town like Port Arthur Texas (which just happens to be where he was born and raised). We found out yeseterday he died from a double air embelism, something that was totally treatable and preventable. A simple ultrasound would have caught it, the whole thing was totally sensless. Both the cops and the two hospitals he was treated at were totally incompetant. They act like they're doing us a favor when they are simply doing the job they are paid to do, it makes me sick!!! So what's Canada like, I daydream about moving their all of the time.

Well, can you get a second opinion? You can click on Drug Information on medlineplus.gov then first letter of drug then scroll to drug and click on drug to read up on effexor. Also, you can call area local pharmacists and tell them you don't feel right on effexor. Often pharmacists are more up to date on medications than doctors...so call and discuss concerns with pharmacist. And you can tell your counselor that we posters on Dr. Phil think she should listen to you. Also, you can call around to area churches or talk to chaplain or a social worker at a local hospital to find out about grief counseling and hang out here. Watching Joel Osteen of Lakewood on TV helped me www.joelosteen.com/site/PageServer?pagename=FullSchedule AND receiving my daily positive minutes helped me after my mother died www.hourofpower.org/email/about.html AND both still help me. So sorry to hear about your uncle. 43 is young. Hugs and Prayers beachsmiles
Thanks for the advice. I finally got in to see my shrink Tuesday. He switched me to Lexapro so I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed. My little girl was molested in 2002 and I think I was mad at god for a long time. I finally got over that a few months ago and my girls and I started going to church. My nine year old and I are going to be baptized this Sunday. I think it has healed me more than all of the counseling combined. As far as the meds; I've tried to go without them a few times due to not really seeing any results. I've figured out one thing for sure: I do need medication. My greif counselor said I probably always will. I'll check out those sites.

LOL!!!

Hey! Here's something to read when you need a break. LOL!  

  

   

  

Things to do at Wal-Mart while your spouse/partner
is taking their sweet time:  

   

  1. While handling guns in the hunting department,
    ask the clerk if he knows where the anti- depressants are.Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at
    5-minute intervals.
  2. When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, assume
    the fetal position and scream "NO! NO! It's those voices
    again!!!!"
  3. Go the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on lay- away.
  4. Move a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
  5. Set up a tent in the camping department and tell other
    shoppers you'll invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.
  6. When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask
    'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'
  7. Look right into the security camera; use it as a mirror, and
    pick your nose.
  8. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at
    5-minute intervals.
  9. Dart around the store suspiously, loudly humming the
    "Mission Impossible" theme.
  10. In the auto department, practice your "Madonna look" using
    different size funnels.
  11. Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, say
    "PICK ME!"

   

( And; last, but not least!)  

  

  

Go into a fitting room and shut the door and wait a while; and, then, yell, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"  

  

  

GOD BLESS!  

  

I remain, 4 Ever 29 

 

BBIAB  

  

  

Hilarious! I broke down on I-10 driving to work today, only my 2nd day on the job! After walking a mile & 1/2 I got back to my husband's. Definately needed to read that! I printed it out and stuck it on my fridge!!!
