So I have been on best rest the past several days (still am if you want to get technical). Was in a pretty bad car accident the other day. Head on collision. Pretty gruesome sight. Don't think I will ever be able to wash the image of looking up andseeing my friend's bloody and broken face. Then seeing the blood drip from my own onto the rest of my body. Talk about something powerful. We are both still living though so that's good right? Except for the fact that while my friend's wounds were superficial, mine run a little deeper. I recently had LASIK surgery (you know the one where they use lazers to correct your vision), and was not suposed to have an severe head trauma for four weeks. I had not quite reached the four week marker when the accident happened. My vision was amazing, the first time I have seen without glasses (and my eyes were bad too) since first grade. It was amazing. Until the other day when a quick blow to the head rederered my right eye almost useless. I can take the burns on my arms, the cuts on my face and hands, and the pains in my chest, back, and neck, but the eye hits me where it hurts. They also tell me that if I am not careful, I might not see out of it again. I am not allowed to move back to school until the doctor releases me. Just lay here and be helpless. I know I shouldn't even me online right now, but a person can only lay down so long. Plus, I missed you guys. I know I will make it through though. And I also know that people have it worse than me so I am trying not to complain. Just wanted to tell my short story to someone else so maybe they could look at it and see that maybe a problem they are going through might not be so trivial and it might help them to sit down and find a solution. So happy travels guys. Until I return...

Thats the wonderful thing about hope. It's so hard to grab hold of...but once you do it's so ruttin' hard to let go of. My heart goes out to you and I know you must be feeling like crap, but like BlueEyed said...there's a whole lot of ppl out there rooting for you whether you see it or know it. Like Inara said in HOG...this is a moment in time..step aside and let it pass. Stay strong and rest.

Shepard,

Simply wishing you well doesn't seem like the right thing, but what else can one do at times like this....

However, I know that you will do the impossible and will become mighty. You're down but not out. You have the entire Browncoat community behind ya, even without seeing others comment to back that statement up.

Will have you in my thoughts and prayers. Remember: we all rise again!
