The first week was spent going to the doctor and the doctor and the doctor.
Everyday we had to take Eric to some medical facility of some sort. After a great friend pulled some strings we were able to get in to see Dr. Collins in Little Rock five weeks before we, at one point, thought we were going to. We really, really like him!! He's suppose to be some sort of amazing doctor/shoulder genius! Dr. Collins will put the "puzzle pieces" of E's shoulder back together on Thursday (10-14-10)
I know he's dreading the recovery but like with everything else (and since he's so stubborn) he'll work hard through the therapy to get better as soon as he can. He won't let anyone hardly do anything for him, he says he has to figure out how to live for the next three months or more using his left hand. (I have to tell you some things are pretty funny to watch especially the whole brushing of the teeth!)
After being on the road everyday I realized very early off that I wanted nothing more than to stay home.
Locked up.
It probably was good to be forced to get out so that I wouldn't do that, but we realized that I have alot of anxiety/anxiousness.
I didn't want to let E out of my sight.
Every time we came upon a car, or someone turned I was reaching for that brake in the floor that isn't there. Coming back from one of our trips to Little Rock, E's brother C deemed that one of us is a magnet for people to want to turn in front of us, we lost count the number of times it happened.
I don't have all the answers right now to a lot of things and especially the big one..... how we are going to live for three to four months with no income.
Just when I start getting impatient about it I calm right down.
Someone must have sent up a prayer right about that time!
God left us here for great things.....I'm just waiting to hear from him again.
