Hey Pika,
I am so sorry to hear this and am glad you are alive!
Here's a freakish story for you, to divert your attention from the pain.
My step-father was out at his storage barn a couple of weeks ago (in San Angelo)and a big storm blew in with high winds.

He went to shut the big, barn door and his hand got stuck in the chain and it slung him around like a rag doll and finally threw him on the ground and ended up bustin his nose.

Fortunately, no major broken bones but plenty of bruises and scrapes.

My mom says that he comes from an athletic background and has dealt with injuries before and knows what it takes to get through them (he's in his upper 70's). It just takes longer.

Make sure your doctor prescribes you physical therapy. I know it helped me when I broke my shoulder blade. With the therapy, I was able to get 99% of my range of motion back.

Get a lawyer if you need to and make sure you get everything you can out of the low-life.

Prayers sent up for you and your wife.

BTW, a friend of a friend has a double lung transplant going on 10 years. He's doing fine.
