Hey man,
Good Luck to you and your family. It is nice to hear that you guys are in the process of healing. If there is one good thing you should be happy about PT, its that you MAY regain more RoM than you did before the crash or accident.
Best wishes and GL,

Aside from the more important and traumatic effects of this accident, which I'm glad is seeing some progress towards better health, I hope all of you keep on strong together, you're all alive and for that all can be thankful.
I'm a bit shocked about the medical expenses. In Canada the cost would have been close to zero, maybe some money for 'extras' like single rooms (as opposed to a 4 bed ward) but very little else. Under $1000 from begining to end. The financial aspect is simply amazing. I know your lawyers would probably look into this, but just because the insurance limits to $300k, doesn't mean you can't get a judgement for much higher and register it with the court, that way the drunk driver can never own anything of value for the rest of their lives... it's not much but if your familiy has to live with this event for the rest of their lives, so should the drunk.

Get Well Soon!
I hate to hear that you and your family were involved in a bad accident involving a drunk driver.
On the other hand, I am very glad to hear that everyone is slowly recovering.
Here is quote for you,
For each day--a little patience, a lot of progress. Hoping you'll soon be well.

Her bill alone right now is more than $2.5 million. Health insurance covers much of that, but the sad truth is that we are going to have a huge financial hit.
That really does put things into perspective, and makes me bless my lucky stars to live in a Nordic socialist utopia (as the yanks tend to put it). The hospital financing system you guys have doesn't make any frigging sense...
I'm glad you and your family on the mend, if not quite ok yet.

...you were always a respectful player, great attitude, fun to fly with, batman, a real credit to this community. I haven't posted 'cause anything I could possible say would be pretty damn trite. But still, our thoughts and prayers are with you even though it's always hard, if not impossible, to put oneself in someone else's shoes (it gets a LOT easier the older you get). So in the little gaps between your real life worries, come on back to the game and have a bit of fun just like the old days. It'll help I think.
