Broken Neck Update

If you go to work one day and someone hits you with their car and you break your neck, here are some things you can expect:

You will be in a lot of pain for a long time.  You will not go to work for 7 weeks.  You will not drive for over 100 days.  You will still be in a neck brace 4 months after the accident.  Four times 30 is a lot of days that you have something wrapped around your neck which reminds you of the skiing you're not doing.  Or the ice climbing.  Or the ice skating.  This may all make you feel a little crazy.  And sad.

But if you're this guy, it will not conquer you.  You will find the good in the bad.  You will be touched by the  many people and the kindness and care you're received.  This will change you forever.  You will not give up even though you are still feeling pain and it's been almost 4 months.  And four times 30 is a lot of days.  

I feel so lucky to be married to such an incredible guy.

Makes me sad for all that you have been going through. I hope and pray he recovers soon, and that he won't struggle with this on an ongoing basis. You are both toughskins.
