Jess, I just saw this--have been off SS lately.I hope you are doing better by now-- mentally and physically. This all sounds very traumatic. Sending big hugs.

In Feb 2024 I was hit by a pickup truck while running. DIfferent bones broken, hospital stay, surgery etc. So while I can't totally say "I understand," I do a little tiny bit. You are strong. You are resilient.

Oh, Dynise - Hellooooooo. You are so thoughtful for leaving such an encouraging and utterly relatable comment here. You do understand - the healing process. The broken process. The shock. That said, I'm now doing so much better that I'm about to start week four of playing pickleball for the first time since last summer/before the move/other stuff ! I did NOT think that would be possible. I didn't think I would maybe ever, walk or sit without so much horrible pain again. Yeah, time and therapies and exercise and all the testing / check-ups helped. And my supportive people, near and far. Even the local business owners and employees who requested me before/after. The kindness did so much.

Sending big hugs back!!

I am sending you the very gentlest hugs... air hugs even... perhaps just a very gentle stroke of your hair? What a fucking nightmare on top of everything else. Can't believe they are making you pay for the rental bike after being hit by a motorbike! 😭 Wish I could do more, like magic you into my spare bedroon. <3
