For those who don't know me, the details you'll need to know for this to make sense are as follows:
Relationship: I am engaged to SW member MissMinxx, been together over 2 years. We have a mutual live in girlfriend who is called on these boards GF#1, she's lived with us almost exactly 2 years and been dating us for about 8 or 9 months. There is another girl who started dating all of us and ended up dating only me cuz the girls got sick of her drama, GF#2, who for months now has been the source of all the misery in our collective lives but whom we try to help out and support. She's been around about 8 months.
Accident: 50 weeks ago MM & I were rear-ended by an uninsured driver. She had nasty whiplash & a concussion, I came out much worse, same as her plus 2 blown disks in my back and one bulging in my neck. We were both on the clock for a company I was a partner in, and it became a workers comp case. I've been on disability for 11 months while the insurance company, doctors, and lawyers argue about my treatment.
Other shit: I'm a die hard car guy and many year SCCA member who is totally addicted to autocross and sometimes drag races or runs road courses (always at the track). I LOVE my car.
THE WORST WEEK EVER:
It started with the usual drama with GF#2. The other girls and I are in a committed triad, but GF#2 has her occasional flings. She was seeing one of them last week and was fighting with me about my attitude about it which was all in her head, as usual, I don't care. At one point, he asked her to come to Phoenix with him for a few days. She asked me if that was cool. I wasn't thrilled, but whatever - your life. I asked if I could see her for a night before she left since she'd been with him most of the week. She picked a fight about it. I got the sense something was amiss here. Long story short, I figured she was getting ready to get more serious with this guy and was lying to him about me to keep her options open. I was right.
This lead to a series of events the details of which I will spare you all, but resulted in my laptop smashed on the floor, my garage trashed, my hand bleeding profusely from going through a plate glass picture frame, and some other good stuff. There was a lot of emotional outbursts from a lot of people, that was the short version. Anyway - it ended with her taking off with him in his car after lying to my face and then telling him I was going to fight him (I wanted to talk to him and compare stories, she couldn't allow that, lol, I have NOTHING against this guy and still don't despite what follows here) and me chasing them 'cuz by this point I was that stupid.
Without going into details about both of us doing some stupid shit on the road, my favorite car is now totaled (tree at 60-65 mph), the cops have been to my house twice, her shit is packed and she's living with a friend downtown until she gets a place, and after her trip to AZ she's still lying to me about her intention to move in with that guy (I don't know why, seeing as I have no intention of seeing her ever again) and lying to him about me, and I've had to re-key my house.
Oh - insult to injury - earlier THAT WEEK I had just renewed registration, put brand new tires on the car, and filled it with Shell premium the night before. All wasted.
So - bad breakup over the course of Sunday leading to a totaled car and a missed (important) race day, a hand that is going to take weeks to heal (took 3 days to stop bleeding), about a thousand bucks worth of other property damage around the house, and all the associated emotional crap.
But we are SO not done yet.
Tuesday morning the workers comp insurance company calls and says they believe I have reached MMI - Maximum Medical Involvement - and they're going to stop paying my disability. Mind you, I'm in the same condition I've been in for almost a year now - they've just decided that since THEY won't authorize surgery, there's nothing else that can be done so they're releasing me. I will win the appeal, but in the couple of months while that goes down I will have no checks coming in at all.
The bank that held my car note and my car insurance company are fighting about how to handle my wreck now that the car is officially totaled. Neither of their respective positions helps me at all. They HAVE decided that I will owe about $4000 when it's all done though.
I an emotionally drained, horribly depressed, hurt both physically and emotionally, broke and going broker now, and there's no end in sight for weeks at least. A lot of it is my own damn fault, but a lot of it isn't, too.
Worst week ever.
