Good News, Bad News

 So yesterday was my heart follow up appointment.   I thought I was so close to finishing all the testing...but nope.   However all the testing I did last week came back good.  I was most nervous for this appt as heart issues really run in my family.    I do need to do a stress test and the doctor wasn't thrilled I would not do the 'easy way' on the treadmill.   I have a huge fear of treadmills.  I fell on one in high school and did serious damage to myself.   At one point I tried to get back on one and as I'm about to step on, a person two over from me went flinging.  Needless to say, I did not get on mine.   I don't have panic attacks but it definately feels like I could have one when I think about getting on a treadmill.

I'm so happy those tests came back ok.   Huge relief.  I'm stressed all the time, so a stress test should be ok.  It's not scheduled yet though, I hope I can get it in during break before insurance changes over.

Bad news- two days ago I was in a massive 4 car accident on a major highway.  Thankfully no one was hurt bad, but 3 of the 4 cars look like horrible.  My arms hurt pretty decently, but are improving.  I'm trying to not let it get me down, but the hits do seem to keep on coming.  I haven't gotten confirmation, but insurance is pretty sure they will total it.  It was the car I always wanted and was in really good shape, I've only had it about two and a half years.   I absolutely don't want to have to look for another vehicle.  My only hope is that insurance and gap insurance will cover what I owe (though it would be nice if it was a little higher so I had a down payment).  FYI - I promise that any funds that have been donated to me for medical expenses will stay for medical expenses.   Anything I've not used for bills at this point is in a savings account for next year/the kidney transplant.   As long as the insurance covers what I owe, I've had a car payment in my budget and will keep it under that or close to.   

My kid was in the car but is fine,   a little scared.   I've always heard things come in threes so I should be set for the rest of the year at least...right?
