About a year ago I was carrying music gear out a bar door when I tripped and suffered a 2nd degree ankle sprain. This is worse then a broken bone as it takes as long to heal; however unlike a broken bone, it will never be as good as it was before the accident. The hospital charged me over $700 for x-rays (which I didn't have), court charged me over $100 to file the suit, first week I was using a folded up microphone stand as a cane to get around my apartment, wearing a stiff ankle brace and on pain pills during all the filming, secretary of state screwed up paperwork, court clerks weren't helpful, was not in a position to work long shifts in a busy restaurant so lost money there, all things needed I couldn't afford went to credit card so it cost more after interest rates, and case was dismissed due to screwed up paperwork. Never got to show the vid or the e-mail from corporate saying the problem was rectified, never allowed to show hospital bills.... just dismissed. It's a year later and my ankle doesn't look normal, it never will again. Cold makes it hurt, can't jog hiking trails like I used to as it's prone to being re-injured in it's now weakened condition. Worst part is the manager who runs the place is an a-hole from a foreign country with a thick accent and a big bank account. Thrust me right back into debt I had just gotten out of by loosing sleep working two jobs.
