The never ending story...

Weeks drag by and nothing changes here.
Not just my situation...the Dominican Republic in general.
Certainly somewhere to just come and watch the days and weeks pass you by.
But not the best medicine when you have broken bones that still need mending, and are sitting around waiting for lawyers and lawsuits!
Same story every time i manage to get hold of anyone to give me some more info.
Battling to contact the insurance company. Cant go after the driver yet...
Blah blah blah...
Back to my hammock. A happier place.
Thats all i'm afraid.
More of the same...

Birthdaze...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

And my birthday wish is......

Haha...thats a tough one to guess hey?!

Much love to all my friends and family. Miss you guys!

The perfect system...!

Managed to get hold of my lawyers on tuesday.
Didn't post any more news because it was just the same sad story being repeated all over again!
Except it has changed a little again from the previous time.
I was told that the insurance company wont answer the phones or return the calls of my lawyers once again!
This from one of the biggest insurers around. And after they apparently told us just 1 week ago that they will sit down and talk with us this week. Again. This is now the 3rd time they have said this since the beginning of the year!
I'm beginning to feel as though i am being taken for an idiot here!
Well, maybe past the point of that to be honest!
Apparently the only way we can get hold of them, is if my lawyer drives up to Santo Domingo, the capital, 2h away, and demands to be seen.
Well there is a solution then! So i asked him please to do that?
No can do. Too busy with other cases. His partner, who apparently has the time, wont go, even though he has asked him to...??!
This totally puzzles me. My lawyers are on a 30% commission, paid to them once these cases get resolved. So, surely there's the incentive to take a day to drive up there and sort this out??
Apparently not!
So, here we sit...waiting for something to happen while i quickly run out of funds to survive here!
Great system here. Really looks after the people who need it!
And that is all i have to say about that...

Same old story...

Another week of nothingness...
I really hope i am not just getting strung along here with no end in sight. It certainly feels like it most of the time!
Tried to phone my lawyers yesterday, but no answer, and no reply, so I am once again clueless as to what the week held in store?
We were supposed to have a date by now as to when we can talk to the insurance company, but like i said, no news...
Money is getting really tight now too. My parents are stretched to keep supporting me month after month, and i have had to ask my mates to please help out with whatever they can afford.
I hate asking anyone for help, especially financial help.
I just want my life back. Want the opportunity to support myself!
Its not that much to ask is it?
Apparently, so far, it is...
Got a bit of flu the last few days, but have been overdosing on Echinacea tablets. If you ever have cold or flu symptoms, get hold of some of this natural plant extract. Boosts your immune system and helps you fight off infection naturally. Works a treat! Back to normal after just 3 days!
Gona try get down to the beach this week and get some tanning done. Have gone nice and white after not having been in the sun for the last 4 months!
On a positive note though, a South African newspaper agreed to publish my story, so am hoping that it might gain some support for me back home? Will see what happens there.
Hoping for happier news this week this side as well...
