Oh Jesus, Kalshane. So scary! I hope everyone is OK. And at least you've already been car shopping, so you don't have to start from scratch? (Sorry if that is too Pollyanna right now.)

He died and was revived, but he's been in a coma since with so much swelling they've been unable to do an MRI to test his brain function. And today, miraculously, he woke up. Completely unexpectedly.

Wow!

Oh, man, Kalshane! I'm sorry.

Wow, Callaluna, nice to read some good news.

Work is not nearly distracting enough. Can't concentrate on what I'm doing, can't curl up in a ball and cry.

Had two conversations about the election. One coworker said "I'm not going to say anything more because I recognize that I'm in a Blue State and it's a sore spot for everyone" which I'm trying not to spend too much energy on parsing, and another came over and outright commiserated with me about how unreal it all is. Which may have broke me a little.

Oh no, Kalshane! I'm glad everyone is okay.

I really hope your wife and son recover quickly, Kalshane. What a scary event. I had just finished sending out a warning to bike riders I know because everyone is so shell-shocked and/or rageful that I'm worried the roads are more dangerous than usual.

Wow. I hope this is just the beginning of positive developments in his recovery.

Thank you for sharing that amazing news. It is easy to forget that good things ARE happening and will continue to happen. Thanks for the reminder.

Took a nap, now trying to make myself get up.

Thanks.

Yeah. I have no idea how we're going to swing getting 2 replacement cars. I don't expect to see much of anything from our insurance since her car was 17 years old.

I canceled the test drive we had scheduled for tonight since we have no way to get there right now.

I'm worried how my son is going to handle it. He's already been struggling a lot with his anxiety the last few weeks and been thoroughly disregulated and being in a car accident will not help at all.

I am gonna need more meds. I'll give it a week, but the depression was already nagging at the base of my brain for months.

Had a physical therapy session today at 12:30, so I took the day off. Tomorrow I have a followup visit with the orthopedist. I thought it was at 9, but the reminder card said 11:30, so I decided to take tomorrow off. Turns out the appointment is at 9:30, but I'm still taking the day off, because I can.
