Last October Peter was in a minor accident. He was at fault but damage was basically some dents. However the driver is claiming physical injury and when he did not receive the settlement from the insurance company he wanted, he has issued a lawsuit. I happened to be in the driveway last Wednesday when the sheriff arrived to serve papers. The insurance company is responsible for representation at this point. None the less I am consulting with lawyers to see if Peter will need additional representation. My biggest concern in it all is getting Peter to cooperate with the insurance lawyers etc. He tends not to return phone calls and blow things off when he does not consider something valid or important.
Peter is taking his medicine without much hassle. Progress to him taking this independently is slow but it's probably because it is easier for me to set it out for him so I don't worry if he remembers. We do have a July 9th Dr's appointment that we pray will be in person. I have lots of questions about what I need to do to help make sure Peter gets the supports he needs - physically, emotionally and financially. I do believe I need to talk with a disability lawyer or someone in the field to help guide me. I have potential resources but its the "doing it" that is the issue. Not going to lie, I'd rather spend my time washing dishes, trimming the cat's claws or some other dreaded task.
