Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

good ol DOMS.  much sorer today than yesterday.  every little thing aches, but, it is a good happy reminder that I am alive to ache.  appointment is actually tomorrow morning, not today.  Once the aching subsides I am going to start working out, core, upper body, abs, whatever I can do, and will hit the pool as soon as the stitches are out and I have the go-ahead.  Never thought I would look forward to swimming but the thought of the water supporting my body and floating and moving sounds very appealing and I cannot wait.  One of the wpd officers said we looked like popcorn in our yellow safety vests flying into the air, and the poor original patient strapped to a yellow spineboard twirled through the air like a helicopter blade...and landed with no additional injuries.  Now THAT is a bad day, getting in a car wreck and then getting hit by a car before you can even get put into an ambulance!

Wow. I missed your report from yesterday. What a miracle that all involved are "okay". Seriously amazing. And you still have a sense of humor about it - good news. Yes, that is a bad day for the poor accident victim! Hope you heal quickly, but as you said, minor injuries pale in comparison to not being alive. Thoughts & prayers. The article is pretty cool: http://www.kansas.com/2013/04/23/2773844/four-injured-on-west-kellogg-in.html

Wow, thank goodness that you guys had already secured the patient to the board so well. I guess they work! It doesn't surprise me at all that you are already planning your workouts while recovering, because of how tough you are. Your COMEBACK is going to take on a whole new meaning!

Btw how many stitches? I would assume an mri is in order to check soft tissues?
