“If there ever was an apparition of Evil to strike terror into the hearts of man and beast, your Inner Dragon is it. Blackies are a fairly common dragon and are considered one of two harmonious dragons. Your antithesis is the White Dragon. Together, you two embody the Yin and Yang concept of eastern religions (especially Taoism).
But of course, being a Blackie on the inside you couldn’t care less about that religion garbage. You like to chomp things, cause trouble, make off with people’s significant others, and so on and so forth. Your favorable attributes are night, the Moon, the stars, dreams, psychic guidance, balancing Karma, seeking truth, and helpful dark magic. Everybody’s still got to watch out for you though, because deep down you like to smite at random and have a nasty breath weapon combination of Fire and Acid. *evil grin* Fun, no? ”
Thanks for all the emails and comments about Josh. Currently, I do not know much more, but here is what I do know:
– he’s in intensive care with a lacerated spleen, kidney and liver. However, they have not yet felt the need for surgery.
– he has a broken hip, pelvis and shoulder. All his front teeth are knocked out.
– his brain and spine seem fine, my stepmother has spoken with him on the phone.
– he’s in a lot of pain, and therefore fairly doped up.
He was walking across the street, in a crosswalk, two cars were stopped at the red. While in the cross walk, the light turned green as he was stepping out from in front of the two stopped car, another car came down the third lane and hit him. Technically, he was jaywalking at that point.
She should be in Denver around five, and I am anxious to hear the details after she talks to the doctor. It’s been difficult to get information over the phone, due to privacy laws. And when she speaks to Josh, he’s not very coherent. I would feel a lot better if he were out of intensive care. Those two words scare me. it’s the internal damage that is keeping him there. Hopefully, the bleeding is minimal, they won’t have to operate, and the organs will regenerate and repair themselves.
Mostly I feel kinda sick about the whole thing. And, naturally, my brain looks for any reason to be distracted from work and chores, and this a really good one. I wish I was there. Or curled up in a little ball. One of the two. We’ll see what Faye says after she gets there. His recovery is going to be pretty long, so there may be other times he needs me there more. I am still really worried about the cost of his recovery. Especially the dental work. So I am going to have to win the lottery. Seriously. For reals this time.
