We don’t know how it happened . He was playing one minute in the back yard then something happened and he was yowling screaming and dragging his back legs ,
He is a very playful happy 9 year old shepard cross of medium weight .
He is at the vet right now . I don’t have a very large income and live on a pension ( I am 58 years old and a widow who shares rent with my Nephew ).
I am looking for a used wheel chair for him but do not know how to care for him when he gets home . He will be at the Vet for a very long time ( at least two weeks or more ). He has so much life and wants to live but will no doubt be paralyzed in his back legs .
I really need advice

I copied this and posted it under Pets too
Well he has such spirit and if he could have he would have jumped up and knocked me down licking my face he was so happy to see me at the vets . He howled when I left .

My sister fell while visiting my brother in a primarily cancer hospital. She fell over a wheel chair left in the hallway and broke her glasses and got a nasty cut on her head and cuts to her face with imbedded glass from the sprawl.
When she asked for help from the nearest nurses station, the head nurse said, ‘well whiplash I suppose’.
And then proceeded to tell her that they were not equipped to handle
those kinds of accidents because they were a cancer hospital.
She did give her a bandaid, which did not stop the bleeding. When she
complained, they sent her to a patient advocate who works for the hospital.
Because of the fall, she will need new glasses for which the advocate said the hospital will re-imburse her. Then they did finally patch her face and head wound up and took exrays and found no broken bones.
But my sister is 61 years old and will no doubt have residual problems from such a nasty fall.
She doesn’t want to file for millions of dollars like some would do through a lawyer.
But she would settle for something for her pain and suffering and any further treatment she may need as a result of the fall.
Can anyone advise…….

So I don’t know how but I did some thing to my lower back/glutes when I was running 4 weeks ago, and I havent been able to run since.
Here is what happened: Left glutes were tight(from my previous hill workout no doubt). After about mile 4 glutes got more and more tight. At mile 7 it was very painful and I was starting to limp. Stopped and stretched for a minute, then finished my run in a lot of pain. I may have possibly pulled it, but I didn’t feel it pull.

I have gone to the chiropractor and he has worked on it and given me stretches to do at home. It has gotten better, but I cannot run without pain, and sometimes it just hurts to walk.

Any idea what’s going on? Again, it’s in my lower back/glutes(but since the glutes are in the lower back and the butt I guess that would cover it)

I was rear ended 4 months ago. No doubt of the other guys guilt. He received 2 tickets for it and we even have the surveillance video from the store I was turning into. My question is, I received as they call it a soft tissue injury. I was taken by ambulance to the emergency room, MRIs showed the muscles affected were spasming severely. I was put on a 5 lb weight limit and pain pills and muscle relaxers. I was unable to do even routine things like sweep my floors let alone able to even pick up my children. The insurance company is not denying their responsibility but they only want to pay me 00 to cover my pain and suffering and mental anguish due to the recklessness of their client. I missed work, I have unpaid medical bills still that are currently in collections, and I still have pain if I over due it at work to this day. They are willing to pay my medical bills of 00. I have asked for ,000 to cover what I believe the pain and suffering and the total disruption to my life for the last 4 months since their client negligently hit me. They claim the 00 is their final offer, am I asking for too much? Or are they just not willing to pay what they should. I know of people who have gotten alot more for alot less happening.
It took me 3 1/2 months to decide what I have been though does equal money because I didn’t want to sound greedy. But realisticly how else to you get validation for the heartache, pain, stress, and interuption of your life? I feel by not "paying" something they are belittling the real pain, the loss of experiences, the loss of time that I missed out and can never get back because of their clients carelessness.
Thank you to those who understand what I was asking. Boo to those of you who try to judge and down grade what I am doing. 5 months ago I may have said the same thing as some of you, then I have had to go through the hell of this "accident". Don’t judge me until you have walked in my shoes. For those of you with the good advice, I have planned on settling for less without a lawyer, mainly because the guy’s insurance policy won’t pay more than ,000 so if I used a lawyer I would probably only get -6,000 anyways. I just wanted to make sure I was on the right track. Thank you!!
