Dennis, how's your wife doing?
Heather is getting better slowly but surely, has been able to get herself in and out of her 'chair by herself for two days now. Rumor has it she may be discharged from the rehab facility within a week. She'll then go to her parents house for a while, they have a ranch style home that is all one level. Our house is a step up or down for practically every room, not good for someone using a walker or cruches.
My daughter is 100% A-OK. She's her usual self and doesn't really seem to notice much that Mommy's not around. She gets to see her a 2~3 times a week, as the rehab is an hours drive from here. I've been keeping on with her normal schedule so I think that helps a lot. Our friends and family have been helping out where needed, but it's been a real eye opening experience for me being a "single parent" if you will. Both of my sisters were divorced with young kids and they have earned a lot more of my respect. It's a tough job that I love to do, but it sure is tiring when you're "it".
I'm going to visit the wife tonight and bring her a new laptop and some Five Guys. She's been keeping herself sane with the laptop, posting on Facebook, watching movies, etc. It died on her yesterday so I'll pick one up on my way there as an early b-day present.
She says that the worst pain is not the broken bone, but the ligament damage to her knee. She has an MRI coming up to see where we go from there.
In talking to her last night, she was telling me more about the details of the accident. I had mentioned to you guys how the other woman had blown the stop sign at the end of the off ramp. This ramp is two lanes at the end, a left and right turn lane. It turns out that there were two cars stopped in the right turn lane and the woman blew past them at full trot in the left lane. So, not only did she run the stop sign, she saw there were cars stopped and went around them to run the stop sign. I have a feeling our lawyer is going to have a field day with this....
