Dumb Catz :
I get to be the update guy now. there was an update on credit shortly after the original post shown in this video
Update: I honestly didn't expect my post to receive this much attention - 1 was just venting my thoughts and emotions in the moment as I'm still going through the stages of grief. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts, advice, and support regarding my situation. I want to clear up a few things and provide some additional context, including my fiancé's perspective on why he didn't stop.
To start, for those wondering about where the accident happened, since the rules around blinking yellow lights vary - it took place in Texas, within the Dallas-Fort Worth area. That's all I'll share location-wise for privacy reasons.
Next, a lot of people have asked whether my fiancé has shown remorse and how he's been supporting me since the accident. The answer is yes he's been devastated. He has apologized to me multiple times: at the crash site, in the hospital, during rehab, and at home. He's also been having panic attacks himself as of lately, something that he's never experienced prior to the accident. There was one moment where he called me panicking because he couldn't find his truck keys and desperately wanted to come see me to make sure I'm doing okay; my mom had to drive over to calm him down and help.
He also continued to visit me frequently in the hospital and at the rehab center, and he's been advocating for me when I had issues, such as the back brace I was given, which was clearly too large. Side note: despite multiple people from my family, Fiance, and even the PT's mentioning it, the hospital staff didn't replace it. It wasn't until I called the hospital a week later, frustrated, that they finally took action. I had to put on my "Karen voice" and explain that their failure to properly size the brace was actively hindering my recovery. Eventually, I got a new one in a smaller size. (Fun fact: the brace only comes in two sizes - S/M and L/XL. I'll let you guess which one they gave me.)
My Fiance has also been helping me understand the insurance claim process - from what we know, I may be looking at around $100k.
