Glad to hear n major injuries. Although sometimes sprains and bruises can hurt worse than a break, they heal up faster.

your uninsured should pay for the car, but normally it has a real low limit. Like under 25k for everything.   I always have the bump it to 100k just in case.

The car wasn't worth much, except as a daily driver that got 36-38 MPG.  I had just put pads on the front, and drums and shoes on the back too.  Was telling the missus to pull $100 a week to put in the safe as money for the next car.  I had hoped for this one to last another 18 months.

I carry the max coverage that Allstate offers on EVERYTHING.  I'm grandfathered, I can't get this kind of coverage anymore.  Not from anybody.

Wow, did I misread that headline.  I saw, Today I got A T-Bone.

I was ready for a discussion about why a Porterhouse is better and a good bone-in Rib-eye is better than both.  Is my face red...

FBG, I sincerely do hope you're feeling a great reduction in pain at this point.  I had a similar experience more than 40 years ago.  My Datsun was t-boned by a Dodge Charger.  I recall being in serious pain for at least a week and then in tolerable pain for another week. 

There's really not a great deal you can do about the pain except to take those prescription drugs that turn you into a lump. But,  I also found that a Jacuzzi and massage therapy helped mitigate the pain.

FWIW,
