This is in the ICU at St. Charles Hospital. I think sometime Sunday since I think that’s when Wade came down and took the pictures. I don’t remember much about that time, but apparently I was appropriate and pleasant at the time. I have vague recollections of calling my family and Brian holding the phone for me so I could talk. When Brian called my parents, he had done so on a pay phone, his cell phone being lost in the accident and mine still in police custody. Brian was a bit shell shocked and forgot to tell my parents where we were so they had to call the pay phone back and ask the random stranger who answered what hospital it was.
I was pretty messed up, but overjoyed that Brian and my friends, Mel and Sam, were safe, and that I wasn’t paralyzed.
I did have a broken skull, a broken neck, multiple broken ribs and transverse processes, a broken sternum, contused lungs, a broken wrist on the left, a fracture-dislocation and a partially paralyzed wrist on the right, a partial de-gloving of my right thumb, and a fracture-dislocation of my left acetabulum and femur.
It will be a long journey to recovery.
