LOl Mark. Thanks, I needed a smile today.
To help with healing: The doctor put me on Gabapentin. I also take about 10 Norco 10's a day and 3-4 Somas. I am a single mom to a 2 year old so the only time I get to rest is once a day during his 2 hour nap. I do try and do Yoga a few times a week, that seems to help and I get a massage every 3 weeks. Because it is through workers comp, I'm kind of at their mercy. I am going for a psychiatric consultation (7 hours) at a psych hospital in Long Beach, CA (close to where I live). AND on mhy first visit with the neurologist he told me that any symptoms after 6 months usually is "in the head". At the time, I thought nothing of it. But now as I get closer to that 6 month mark it makes me question my sanity.
The pain from my whiplash lasted about 1 week. I went to PT for about 2 weeks. And then the ortho doctor cleared me so, in the eyes of my workers comp insurance, means that it is resolved.
The other driver has good insurance, thank goodness. I do have a great attorney. But the problem is that I am getting my treatment through workers comp. My attorney has opened a case with her insurance but theres not too much that can be done until I go back to work....or at least that's what I have been told.
I am slowly getting more depressed. It's difficult to be the only person there for your child, and not be able to be there for him. Especially at such a young age. It breaks my heart when he tells me, "mommy be nice" because I have to ask him not to play so loudly or that I can't play with him. So I guess I just feel like I need to get a more normal life back for him.
Thank you all for your opinions/words of wisdom.
