Hey friends & family… I had a crazy bike-car crash. Here’s a summary.
TIMELINE
- crash Sun 4.10 7:30pm in front of the old Kroger on Guilford - surgery on 2 shattered patellas and a broken wrist Mon 4.11 - recovery at St. Vincent - acute rehab at Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana Sat 4.16 - returning home to my condo Friday 4.22 after great progress
LIMITATIONS
- no driving for several months - will be wearing leg immobilizers (zero knee bending) for 5 more weeks, mobility limited - fairly significant pain levels - lots of physical therapy needed - recovery expected to be 4-6 months before functioning at a basic level (driving, more normal mobility, etc)
PLAN
- Saint Rosemary (my amazing mom) will be spending nights and helping me get started in the mornings until I’m safe to be alone - A couple friends and colleagues will be regularly working from my condo to help out - I’m hoping friends who would like to visit can fill in the gaps - I’ll post weekly visitation windows here; please sign up to visit when convenient
NEEDS
- visitation / company - future rides to appointments, etc - potential household tasks (blowing leaves off patio or taking garbage out, doing dishes, for instance)
