He did say he was sorry when I got out of my truck. Yeah, he's sorry all right!

The good thing is that you and the grandson were not hurt. He probably dinged his vehicle more than he did your truck. Even better, your daughter's eyes are improved. Reading glasses is no big deal.

Thanks Star! We're good! My neck got injured in the number six rear ending. Second vertebrae is now tilted up and forward and is pressing on a nerve which causes my left arm to go numb. Doc suggested surgery at that time, but 30 years ago that surgery was fusing the vertebrae in my neck which would have limited neck movement. I chose no way and lived with it.

I am so happy for my daughter, she can finally see!

No kidding, last place I expected to get hit was while in a parking spot. Arrogant wasn't the A word I was thinking at the time, lol.

I'm glad you are both ok!

I imagine he searched his pea brain for an excuse and some way to blame you.

He's sorry alright - sorry he got sprung. Trying to shift the blame on to you was quite cowardly. Glad you're both ok nonetheless. Whenever you get bumped from behind now, do thoughts about protecting your neck injury from further jarring/damage instinctively come to the fore?

Glad to hear eye surgery on both eyes was successful for your daughter; it must be an immense relief for her to be able to see 20/20 again

The guy was sorry he got caught. Thank God nobody was hurt. Being rear ended is one of my big concerns when I am riding my motorcycle. A friend sitting on his bike at a stoplight was rear ended by a texting driver.

Congrats to your daughter for successful eye surgery. In reference to the dingbat who rear ended you obvious he wasn't paying attention to where he was driving. The fact that he was going to walk away before checking to see if anyone was in the truck doesn't say much about him.

Thanks Ann. Who knows, he has probably blamed everyone throughout his life for mistakes he's made. Lol, but I can say, just from hearing him speak, that he was on the pea brain side of the aisle.

The look on his face was total guilt, and yes, he took the coward's way out to blame me.

Well, it has been 30 years since the last rear end incident that messed my neck up and no I wasn't ready for this one, but I do find that I tense up when I make a left turn onto my road seeing vehicles coming at me at 60MPH. Meaning I'm waiting for the traffic coming the other direction to clear and I'm a sitting duck until I can make my turn. It's been real close a couple of times. After this guy bumped me, my neck started hurting and locking up, but didn't start until I got back into my truck. Just from me being tense, so I leaned my seat back and relaxed till it eased up. I do have a chiropractor that works miracles when my neck gets really bad, he is a God send.
Thank you and yes, she is immensely happy that she can see again.

Happy to hear about your daughter and that neither you nor your grandson was hurt.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

You be careful out on your motorcycle, especially at rush hour when everyone is heading to and from work. 5 of the 6 accidents where I was rear ended were in the AM on the way to work, number six was on the way home... but this is the first time while parked. Crazy stuff! People texting while driving are idiots!

Thanks Shar! That, or he's as blind as a bat, or as we used to say, he got his drivers license out of a Cracker Jack box. Actually his walking away showed me exactly what he was, best I don't use that kind of language here to describe him, lol, might get me tossed out.
