Hit by a car again!

[sevenalive]

I was riding my bike from lunch on my way back to work. A van was waiting to make a right turn from the QT driveway. The driver looked right at me. I assumed he was going to let me pass,since he was 5-8 feet from the street however he did not. My tire was barely past the passenger headlight when he decided to turn. My tire caught the front end, slammed my left shoulder into the van. My leg got cut from the pedal. I then fell to the ground. I was getting up when i saw the guy driving away. I copied down the plate, about a min later he does a u-turn and pulls back in. He gives me his company card. I told him i really had to get back to work. I already went on vacation, they just fired a supervisor for unknown reasons and right now since i got robbed in vegas (thats another post ill do), i really needed the money. The pain from the shoulder hurt really bad, i fell down to the sidewalk and layed there for 2 minutes.

I started carrying my bike back to work when some bitch in a PoS SUV started laughing, i cussed her out.
I made it back to work about 10 min late on my lunch and explained what happened. At this time my co-workers noticed i was bleeding on my left leg, i didn't even notice because of the shoulder pain. They called the police and EMT. I didn't want a ride to the ER, can't afford that even with insurance. I explained to the cop what happened, i decided not to press charges because shit happens and i hope someone would do me the same courtesy if it happened to me. However he should pay for a new bike, the RIm is a S shape. I just put new inner tubes on and ordered new brake cable yesterday. The bike has been in 2 collisions so far, i doubt its safe to ride, i didn't really look at it because my shoulder hurts like shit.

So they sent me home, i am out of PTO which really sucks also. So i went to urgent care a few hours later, they took xrays. Nothing broken, just a splint and bruised pretty bad. They prescribed me some vicodin. I got go back to work tomorrow i need the money. I sit at a computer anyway, so no real strain on my shoulder. It's just i got to get a ride or walk.
