Day 308 - Legally Speaking

We have passed 10 months since the accident. Things are mostly back to normal as much as anything is ever normal. We are refinancing the house to get a better rate. We are going from 27 years remaining at 6.675% to 15 years at 4.375. So we are dropping 2.3 points, shaving 12 years off the time and keeping about the same payment!

Jan has started going to church again. I, not being an overly religious person, do not participate in organized religion. I used to think I was agnostic but now I think that while God exists, he doesn't interfere with the affairs of man any more than we interfere with the single-celled life forms. That's just me, though.

The lawyer sent a letter telling Jan that they have sent the request for her insurance claim off and that should be resolved within 45 days. Additionally, the medical claim is being studied. We will see if there is anything to be done there. Frankly, I just want them to not be able to do what they did to Jan to anyone else. No further word from the Tennessee Medical Board on the outcome of their investigations into the doctor and the nurse practitioner.
