The wife's wild week

This past week was a wild one for my wife. Monday afternoon she was running some errands, getting ready for her upcoming foot surgery, when she was hit by a car that pulled out in front of her. She went the hospital in the ambulance and everything. She came out OK - all the tests showed she was clear to go home by mid-evening. She suffered a nasty friction burn on her neck and horrible "seatbelt trauma" aka bruising on her right side, but at least she's all in one piece!

The car didn't turn out so well. It got towed away and it was labeled by the investigating police officer as "totaled". We haven't heard back from the insurance yet though.

All week she was dealing with the insurance and accident stuff, and had no car to get around. I tried to come home early as much as I could so we could get stuff ready for after her surgery.

Friday morning, she went in to get her foot fixed and came out fine. She's starting to feel the pain of the surgery today - I guess all the anesthesia is out of her system now. She's getting around in crutches OK, but it will be a little bit before she feels ready to be left alone.
