CAR.

Since I totaled my car and my husbands car (neither were my fault) I had to get a new car.

We (I) decided on a Chevrolet AVEO. I absolutely love it. I just picked it up today at 3:00pm.

I'm still not completely recovered from the accidents, my lower back and left knee is still bothering me. I go to physio 3 days a week.

I have a job interview tomorrow, I'm still not sure if it's too early to go back to work. The reason I say this is that I would have to drive for at least 1 hour to and from the job. Any thoughts on this matter would be helpful.

Cute car. Just make sure you take your time recuperating. I was in a severe car accident 19 months ago and I went to PT 3 times a week for almost 3 months. I'll have lasting effects for life, but I am glad I took my time. I drive for a living (CDL driver) and it would have been hell on wheels if I'd tried to go back too soon. And as bad as this might sound make sure you have a good attorney cause it can be hell getting those bills paid off. I had 4 insurance companies fighting (my health ins, my car ins, mom's car ins as it was her car, and the woman who hit me's car ins) what a mess hehe.

What a nice car! Lots of room inside.
That would make it a nice Birthday Present.

Can Pebbles come for a ride?

Rainbows!

Yes, Pebbles can come for a ride, but she has to share the back seat with Buttercup. They would make such a cute couple, so in that xase she can stay and live with him.

Great car Susan!

Hey have you checked out the book "A consultation with the Back Doctor"? It's written by a very prominent Canadian back doctor and it's so facinating.

He pretty much advises to keep moving and not let your back pain get in the wayof your daily life (and lots of other good tips for managing your back pain).

So I would say, going back to work could get you out and about and help you in the long run.

Do whatever you think is best though!
