Did your attorney give you any hope that if y'all held out longer there'd be a higher offer? There likely will, you know. They always lowball at first. Just wondering whether the atty recommended you take that and run or keep it in play a little longer. Insurance companies have very deep pockets. And frankly they can do a lot better for you two than that.
nope thats not for my leg...thats for him having to see me get pinned. (i just realized that sounds perverted LOL)
i'm not actually getting anything for my leg. the hospital has dibs on it, and i'll not see a penny.
they were only gonna get a lil bit, then they said they could maybe make them go up another 500, then today we got the call saying 10 thousand. this makes us happy as hell though...cuz this is money the hospital cant probably touch (they may try but eff em!)...and slips gonna use it so i can get some important dental work done.

one of my front teeth got chipped and is kinda triangular shaped (happened when i was about 10 or so), and it has started to get a bad cavity recently. i have to get a root canal and all kindsa other shit done to it...and he's gonna use the money to get that taken care of...and lemme run wild in the mall with a decent amount....AND i'll be able to get the camcorder i've wanted for over a year.

my mom lives out of state and just the other day was able to get herself a VCR. she's only seen our son (her only grandkid) once and it was over a year ago...so i plan on makin her extremely happy by sending her tapes of our son all the time.

this money's gonna help us out a ton...i know at first glance to alot of you it seems like its gonna get wasted...but dont worry...we're taking care of important issues first...
