Josh

Now, see, I set some limits on myself, by telling me I could not blog, or read the blogs of others, until I finished a few key items on my to-do list at work, and at home. I finished the big one at work today, but I no longer care that much about the other items. My brother was hit by a car today. I don't know a lot of details, I've been getting emails from my stepmother. I know he got hit when he stepped off the curb. I know that at one point he was conscious and talking. The last time Faye talked to anyone it was one of his friends, and they don't know the extent of the damage yet. They know most of his teeth were knocked out, he has a lacerated spleen, liver damage, a broken pelvis and a broken hip. Right now, Faye is grabbing some sleep so she can leave early and drive from Phoenix to Denver. So that's all I am going to know tonight. Not only is his condition serious, his recovery will probably be long. And he is broke and without insurance. The state will probably cover the life saving stuff, but not the physical therapy, or extensive dental work that will be needed. I don't even know if I should be even worrying about that right now, maybe I should just be hoping he pulls through tonight? I just don't know.

My stomach is in knots....
