Okay, I'm more awake and able to think more clearly.

I was on my way to work and as I got the white light for crossing Woodward, a lady driving her car hit me while I was riding my bike. She was making a right turn on a red light and said she didn't see me. I saw her vehicle come to a rolling stop and didn't think she was going to speed up and go, since I had the right of way. I thought she saw me, but apparently didn't. She admitted fault, repeatedly, and kept apologizing.

I didn't bother contacting the police because all that would have happened is they give her a citation for hitting a pedestrian and she would get points on her license. As long as I don't have to pay for anything, I don't really care. She contacted her insurance company and got me a case number. I gave the information to Beaumont hospital and just need to follow up come Thursday to make sure all the information is taken care of properly.

I'm sore, but they gave me a Vicodin at the hospital which numbed all the pain. It's worn off since then and I have a little bit of lingering pain, but they gave me some Norco (5-325). It's supposed to be just like Vicodin, but with less Tylenol. Hopefully I don't have to use it, but I will if necessary.

I also got a tetanus shot, because apparently I was overdue for one. It doesn't hurt yet, but they put it into the same arm that got injured, so hopefully it will help mask the pain.

I called the Royal Oak Police and explained my situation to them. I didn't want to make a crappy situation even worse but if this lady backs out and decides she doesn't want to pay for anything, the police said I can still file a report. There is no time frame on filing a report. The officer said that I can give the lady the benefit of the doubt and let her take care of things. But if she starts dragging her feet and doesn't want to take care of anything, I can still file a report and the police will help me get things resolved.

I just spoke with the insurance company and they got a statement from me. The agent said he is going to get a statement from the lady that hit me and then they will conduct an investigation. They are going to get in touch with me after that and we will figure out where to go from there. This will also reimburse me for damages done to my bike. I just need to keep track of anything that is a direct expense to my bike or myself as a cause of the accident.

I think that just about sums it all up though. If anyone else has any questions, feel free to ask.

By the way, I am accepting any/all artwork as a "get well soon" incentive. (That's your proof that I can take this smiling)
