We said our last goodbyes to the trailer and I was able to get ahold of the social worker of the hospital to come by and pick up all the household items. She said some women at the local shelter could really benefit from the items. I also gave her all the unopened food and paper/plastic utensils. It felt good to know it was not going to waste! When I was at the hospital during David's surgery (before my shower or change of clothes even) she stopped by to see if I needed anything. I had left the scene of the accident without shoes so she went out and bought me a pair of flip flops and brought me down a clean shirt so I didn't look like a mass murderer. She was so thoughtful! There are so many people that were so good to us! The first day I stopped by the trailer, the tow-guy, Dave, encouraged me to clean out the fridge. I bagged everything up (I kept a few things for the few days we were in Rawlins.) He said he would give it to the mechanic. Well, today, Dave said he looked through the bags and kept the homemade jam and pickles that were in there! I thought that was great, and I'm sure my mom, who made them, will be pleased that they are being appreciated.
The orthopod stopped by and changed the dressing on David's elbow and it looked great. He checked out my staples and saved me a trip to the hospital for re-eval. Everything looks great and we both feel much better by the day.
I just noticed that in the picture, Luke is showing off his battle wound on his elbow on the picture! Too funny; he is all boy, for sure.
