I imagine that seeing / posting those pics was quite confronting for you. The event must have been dreadful.

Hope your recovery continues. No shame in leaning on people and asking for help. You have been through a lot.

Funny thing is I don't find it confronting , more interesting, and a lot of pent up anger against the truck driver for being such an idiot . ( and a lot of the farkwit word)

RIP the van

Very lucky to get out of that judging by the looks of the car and glad you were on your own as i don't think any passengers could have survived that.

 Off to Manheim in Altona tomorrow to retrieve my property from the van. Might be a bit of a bunfight from what the insurance company told me.
