SD60 has 2 daughters, C and M.  C  called today and asked for Grandpa and said " bad news".  I handed him the phone knowing it was about SD60.  C said SD60 wanted DH84 to call.  She had an accident yesterday, she hit a deer and totalled her car.  They took her to the hospital for a checkup but released her with no injuries.  She had let the insurance lapse on her car which was worth about $15k.

She needed to pay the tow company and asked him to take her (and pay the fee).  He asked if I wanted to go, I said not really.  But we thought we'd need the car title which is in our safe deposit box so I had to go, DH84 can't handle  that.  (We have the title after the episode where SD60 got a car title loan, didnt pay it, the car was towed and DH had to pay off the loan).  Oops, the bank is closed for Veterans Day but there was a work-around since the car registration info was in the car.

We picked up SD60 and proceeded to the tow place.  I've had extensive experience with taking her somewhere and her being confused about directions but we eventually made it.  I decided to go in with them since SD gets so confused and DH is in the beginning of dementia and forgets things.  No big deal, pay the fee and give them the number of the guy who will tow it and estimate what he will pay for salvage.  The guy came and got the car.

SD60 was still kind of in shock and didn't want to see the car.  But we did and she did, too, eventually.  She's lucky she's alive, there was extensive damage.

So SD60 is sitting there, no car.  "Who's going to take me to the doctor?  Who's going to pick up my rx?  I'm out of food."  DH says,  your kids.  SD starts crying, her daughter, M, texted her recently saying don't contact me, don't call me from a hospital.  And worst of all, M never lets SD drive her car.  I was in the backseat thinking, wise girl, but said nothing.

It is going to be interesting.  My guess is DH will let her "suffer" for awhile but eventually buy a car, he has some $ coming but it's not enough for a very impressive car.  I asked him whos going to handle this stuff when he dies.  He said you are.  I said no, im moving near one of my bios.  He laughed and said you'll never move.  (Wrong).

Of course, none of this is SD60's fault. That evil deer ran smack into her and the criminal insurance cancelled her policy for non-payment.  She didn't pay it on time because she was paying her daughter"s expenses because the delinquent boyfriend is abdicating his responsibilities.  On and on.

Again, she's very lucky to be alive and unscratched.  I'm having a big glass of wine.  Just another day in SD60 Land.
