It's been quite a roller coaster the past week as I've had to deal with the impending lawsuit from the car accident. Reading the police report I learned a few new unpleasant things - it took over 1 hour to cut me out of the car, they described how I looked (shards of glass embedded in my face) but that I was "awake, but obvious brain injury, as she asked repetitive questions". I don't remember a thing except two police men - one with a note pad - and telling them my home phone number. I don't remember a thing about being cut out of the car or what the hell I asked. Anyway, the following medical report ofmy condition was equally as terrifying but helped me in a sense as some of the pain I've felt in areas other than my left side now make more sense. Then the pictures of the accident. Oh, My God. I am very lucky to be alive. It looks REAL BAD. I won't go into details as yet as even just writing about it is very difficult.
I went into a funk of paralyzing depression and many old aches and pains returned. So, not a very pleasant past few days. My husband, as always, has been wonderful, patient and understanding. I'm very blessed to have him.
But finally, the fog left my brain and while I'm still in pain, I felt well enough to finish off the Christmas cards, finished my Christmas shopping for my wonderful hubby (he is going to get a LOT of presents this year, he deserves it) and took Moto to the training building to work on things that require more than the small space of our basement.
Moto lifted my spirits by being amazing!
Oh, I have to add that friend Kathy taking 1st runner-up at the NOI this year was a great mood-lifter. That, and my other friend Laurie calling regularly from the NOI with updates. Since I couldn't be there myself, her description of who-did-what really helped.
Moto had a wonderful attitude and his fronts are looking good. He has the most important first step and that is a lovely tuck-sit. Accuracy of course will always be an ongoing piece of work. Heeling is really, really nice. The technical parts of utility are really coming together. Now mind you the building was completely empty and there were no distractions. We'll have to slowly start integrating distraction, but for now,my dreams of him being a future NOI contender are solidly in my mind!
