~Updates and Transitions~
Its been 10 days I think?
The most important update right now is Shane! He is doing really well considering the accident. The bone in his leg that is fractured is the skinnier of the 2 in the bottom half of the leg. The surgeon told him to walk on it as much as he can but not to run or twist it in any way. It is still pretty swollen and hurts. He limps very much, but he is trying not to use the crutches. He still gets the headaches and he is very sore all over still. He has bruises and road rash and they all look really really yucky but yet you look at it all and still wonder: How in the world did he survive it? The motorcycle is torn up. I still haven't seen it, although Shane has a front piece from it in his bedroom...and the key to it. It makes me so sad to see that key. Its still shiny and new- not worn out at all :( Funny, I dreaded him getting that bike, it terrified me and I felt it in my bones, but it made him so happy, so I dealt w/it. And I am so thankful he is alive in spite of that drunk driver! And because of God's grace.
Our family is going thru allot of trials right now too. On Friday we found out that the person who hit Shane on the bike does not have any auto insurance. Therefore, Shane will not be compensated for his lost wages etc. We don't even know if his bike loan will be pd for (about 10K). It doesn't look good for a civil suit b/c it looks like th eguy has nothing. I do not think I need to ever see this man. While I thank God tons of times a day for saving my son, I am not feeling very kind towards the dui guy. I'm betting y'all will agree?
Our lease is up on the rental we've been in this yr. and the boys said we could take over their apt(they got a townhouse last week) til our house sold and we got something else. SO we were all ready to move in their apt Fri when they got the word that we couldn't do that. SO we are staying with them til next wk. And from there we'll see where we go...Never a dull momment in our lives, huh?
I've missed my friends here in blogland and I want to tell each of you how important y'all are to me. I so appreciate all the thoughts and prayers and well wishes.
I really believe we are entering a new phase in our lives. Full of endings and new beginnings. Kind of fitting since we are getting to the end of the year. I really do feel some things coming full circle. Its hard to hold on and yet I can't wait for some things to end. I also can't wait to see some new beginnings. They are long over due for all of us! Its the waiting in between that is so so very hard!
