This is my family! As some of you know I've been married to my husband for almost 5 years. He has a daughter named Andrea from a previous marriage and we have a 23 month old daughter. 6 months ago my husband was on his way home from work when a 23 year old woman who I will just Call Tabatha wasn't watching what she was doing and hit my husband. Her children wasn't restrained,she had no liscense,she wasn't restrained and she had no insurance. To my knowledge she nor her kids where hurt maybe a few scratches but,my husband had to be Life-Flighted to Erlanger Medical Hospitial in Chattanooga,TN. Which,is around a 3-4 hour round trip. My life was forever changed. I would had love to be working at that time but,I made the choice of Being a Stay at home mother. But the day of that accident that right was taken from me. Some may ask why oh why would you want to stay home with a terror also known as a Toddler? I love being a mom and sometimes I feel like pulling my hair out but,I don't think anyone can take care of a child as their parents can especially,the Mother. That right was taken from me when I had to step up to the plate and provide for our family. I had to be the bread winner. My husband was not able to walk little on hold a 7-5 job! I felt so much anger and so much was taken from me. We now have over $90,000 in medical bills. Surgeries,cutting edge new procedures,physical therphy, Number doctors to visit. I was having to pay medical bills that I don't even feel like I should have to. All because of a careless woman not watching what she was doing. In the last few months I've found out more than I wanted to know about this woman whom I have came to imagine what I'd do if I ever met her. I imagine it times over! Finally today I got that chance encounter at a little Post Office. I knew by what I've been told my various town gossip that she has 3 little kids,that she is going through a really bad divorce. I ran into her at the post office today when I was sending some books off thats been mooched from me. I asked her if she was Tabatha? She said yes! She asked who I was and I said your the lady that hit my husband. She asked how he was? of course he's good now but,It took 6 Months for him to recover and 3 months for him to walk on his own unassisted. This past Wednesday was his first day back at work. I told her that our Medical Insurance is wanting to get back every last dime they've had to pay out for medical bills because his Orthopedic Doctor turn it in that this accident was someone else's fault. I actually hope the insurance will follow through and get everything they can out of her because I don't think its right that my family has to suffer because her ! I feel she has gotten off easy! It just really pisses me off that here she can get a new car and go on about her life without so much as a scratch! She is the reason why people are paying so much for insurance and why so many people in this country can't get insurance. Its no wonder insurance is outrageous here in the states. I don't feel like I was rude in anyway Frankly I think I do well not to punch her in the face! Because lord knows I wanted to! How can you forgive someone who has torn your life upside down? How can I not hate her! But,Luckily my husband is alive and well and in the end I guess thats all that matters! We are slowly getting on with our lives. I Just don't want to be the one to have to pay all these medical bills and I don't want it to ruin our credit either. So,Hopefully the Insurance can get to the bottom of this and do something with her so she can pay them and not us. We are planning on building our own home and Now that my husband has went back to work we can get started on it. I guess all we can do is go on the best we can. I just couldn't imagine that he could of very easily been taken from us and luckily he wasn't and thats all that matters now.
