Yes it is those small steps that help you in your recovery. I am glad that your able to sit for a minute or two and enjoy the fact that you can reconnect with many over this vast world.

I do like pain killers especially when your in a lot of pain. Just remember to not over do it and get the rest you need to continue to recover.

Introduction DianeC

Yes seems a very low damage amount for a corner of a car. I did that just replacing a couple of bumpers .

Do take your time recovering and do push to complete the exercises they give you as they are key to a long term recovery. You are in our prayers and I will ask the men to pray for you at the men's meeting today.

We always pray in the morning and at night, but we said a special thank you prayer that night as well, that we were fortunate enough to walk away alive. I thank God so much for that...I can't even bear to think of how it could have all ended up.

The other driver was tested for alcohol, and because he was sober the police decided to take no further action against him, but have placed the blame firmly at his door, which helps us for our insurance.

I was the passenger, as my husband was driving my car, and I haven't been able to drive since..I'm not looking forward to having to try to drive again either, but will need to when I go back to work. I think I will be having my husband's car as the insurance are offering me a pittance for mine, and Wayne's car is a few years newer than mine was.

The ironic thing was that we were only going to Costco for a tray of chocolate muffins for the teaching staff at the kids school for Christmas...it certainly turned out to be an expensive tray of muffins!

Thanks you guys for all your kindness, best wishes, Diane.

Well, the important thing is that you can work out your day, rehabilitate, and look forward to more time with your loved ones. Good that it was not a head injury. Well, I guess you have more time on your hands and taking a lot of rest, soon you will be attacking the Arcade again?

By the way, how did the kids react to it, how did they handle it afterward?

Introduction DianeC

Hi JB, , you know me too well! I'll probably be back on the arcade very soon!

The kids didn't handle it too well, especially Claire, who tried to chase the ambulance, and I could hear her shouting that "they are taking Mummy away to die".
Of course she doesn't fully understand, and I think there are obvious issues about her having already been taken from her birth Mother in there, but on the whole she has come round to accepting it a bit better, and she has asked me most days if I'll be better soon.David finds it very hard to put vocally any of his feelings, but I have had more hugs off him than usual.

I haven't been able to do much with them, but it's been nice spending time at home with them.

DianeC Introduction

Oh, poor thing. I know those moments quite well, when we were in the hospital with Jonah for his head injury Felipe was behaving like we were in a funeral mixed with brief fits of anger at the wall and then at the doctors.

It is interesting how some kids see things. I am glad that your able to spend a lot more time with kids for a bit Diane. I hope that they learn that come to accept that you are not going anywhere for a long time.

It seems to have sunk in a bit more, and I suppose the stronger I get the more it will reassure them.
You never know how kids minds work though, what you class as a normal procedure, they see as a threat.

I think I could get too used to being at home with them..it's not been the best of circumstances, but it's been nice to spend the time with them anyway.
