It's hard to believe it's only been 3 1/2 weeks since the accident because some days it feels like soooo much longer. We're starting to put the pieces of our life back together with the support of our amazing family and friends. Dave is feeling better everyday and is starting to gain back some of the weight he lost during this ordeal. We estimate he lost at least 20 pounds, which was not a good look on him! He's in good spirits even though he is still in a good amount of pain and doesn't have a lot of energy.
Our friends, Brent and Kori, came down last week to help out and we put them to work taking care of all of us. Dave's friend, Scotty, is in town right now and a few other friends are coming later in the week to help out. Last weekend, we had our first few days alone since the accident and it was nice feeling like things were back to normal but it was also exhausting. I have a whole new respect for single parents!
I'm back at work part-time this week as I ease back into it and Dave is even putting a few hours of work in. Cora is back in daycare twice a week and since Dave can't even lift her right now, we're juggling her around a bit the other two days that I'm at work.
We are so grateful for all of the generosity and support we've received. It's overwhelming at times but we soooo appreciate it. Thank you! Some day we will pay it forward.
FYI: The best way to reach us these days is via email because we rarely have time (or energy) to pick up the phone. We move slowly these days so things take A LOT longer than they used to.
