When did life become all about suing schemes and getting rich quick? I don’t think fred flintstone was out there throwing himself in front of dinosaurs for insurance money. Work brings money. Earn it like a man.

Ron: maybe your pride in refusing medical attention so that no one will see you in pain was misplaced. Why is it so important that people don’t see you going to a hospital after you’ve been injured? You are an ordinary citizen. Why refuse medical attention when offered, but then sit here and give updates about how bad the injury was? You had a problem and it seems that instead of solving it right away, you decided to tell everyone about it.

the pawn and the king go back in the same box when the game is over.

Steve perry. he knew that you had been injured, but didn’t ask what other injuries had been sustained and put you out of his mind. Maybe I misunderstood but your wording here makes it seem like he knew HOW you hurt yourself (although maybe not to what extent, until a later time) but never mentioned that the sidewalk was his idea. He tried to bribe you with a t-shirt? That’s what it looks like.

Bottom line? I think this entire blog and all of it’s updates are little over the top. If I had been in your place, and fallen? I’d probably be asked to stop blocking the sidewalk. I wouldn’t be surprised if this post gets deleted, despite a lack of vulgarity. Just clarity. You people forget that people still get shot out on the street every day.

too bad some idiot already calls himself reality check, right?
please make a comment here on anything at all if you haven’t been able to pay rent, been shot at or stabbed, or really not known if you’d make it through today, let alone tommorrow.

Here is the real deal. You have just slowed down due to this injury. You don’t know if this has thrown your back out of alignment so get a chiropractic adjustment, preferably with someone who has a water bed massage table to relax you first. While you are at home in the recliner repeatingly lift a small dumbbell from hand to hand to keep your cardiovascular system in shape, and eat a little fewer calories if you are not burning off as much during the day so you don’t gain weight or clog your arteries. Avoid ice cream and junk.

I had been in several rear end collisions and never sued. My neck and back have given me problem ever since and I couldn’t prove that the last accident was the cause of my problems. Keep your options open in case you have complications later. The problem with the flagstone sidewalk is that is should have been dug into the ground so as to be flush with the dirt, not raise over it. The flagstone and the soil should have no transition. Idiot architectural design. shouldn’t have been approved.Lesson here folks. Anybody can fall off the edge of that sidewalk. Rain will just erode away any soil they add now unless they raise the curb. That whole sidewalk is too high off the ground and poorly designed without regard to the safety of the public. It is attractive but deadly. I say, perhaps, cut it, dig it out in pieces, dig under it, set it in so it is level with the rest of the ground. Then create a ramp where it has to meet up with other concrete sections so there is no bump. That would have cost more in the first place. Someone else is going to get hurt and sue them senseless because they may be seriously injured.

My mom tripped on a cement barrier in a parking lot because they were reversing everything to make room for more cars, they left the barriersin and she hurt her knee for life, which caused all kinds of problems. She only got a little bit of money for bills, but at least they fixed the problem, reverting to the original layout. She was the fifth person that fell, nobody would help her until she cried and pleaded for paper towels to stop the bleading and begged for a chair. then they said, “Oh this happens at least once a week”.

You only want to make sure you are not going to have permanent damage to your back, knees, and foot. How horrible it would be if this really hurt someone else. It is a precarious situation. We need you in top form. Take care.
