OK, yesterday I went over to Seattle (about 60 miles each way) from the Olympic Peninsula to have my MRI done and a followup from my neuro. Good news was that my MRI has been stable; equivocal news was that I have some sort of enhancing spot on one of my parotid glands that needs to be evaluated by an ENT. So that was on my mind as I was driving back home and thinking about the next round of testing that might have to be done...
So, driving back over to the Peninsula from the ferry(secondary country roads) there was this hot dogger guy on a motorcycle behind me, following too closely and weaving back and forth (acting like a jerk) to try to find an advantage in the packed traffic driving on this highway.
It was pretty stop and go and he'd back off for awhile and then come pretty close... well as you might guess, I had to stop quickly and he was too close -- his tire bounced off my bumper and tire guard (lucky I have a Subaru) -- not too hard, he didn't even lose his balance on the bike too much. I got out, asked him if he was okay and looked at my car. Didn't see anything in the way of damage at that point so I told him he'd better get his head out of his *** and leave more distance for stopping.
So my big mistake was in not getting his information. We just kept going on our way... and when I got home I found that the tail light (red cover) was cracked and I hadn't seen it. My husband asked what happened and I allowed him to think that my car had been hit in the parking lot in Seattle. I know, I know... stupid thing to have done.
I just didn't want him to see how stupidly I had behaved by not getting the guy's information. He wants me to call our insurance about getting it fixed... So I'm in a fix about how to tell him that I was less than truthful about this. He's not always the most empathetic person and even if I tell him that I just felt like that extra stress was too much for me at the time for a minor thing, I don't know how he'll take it.
And... can MS cause someone to make poor choices and decisions (not trying to blame MS, but sometimes my cognition seems a bit cloudy) ,,, OR was this just me being stupid?
Anyway, just wanted to put this out there in case anyone has any suggestions or comments.
