It's been a rough week.....and whining about it seems to speed up my recovery time. The boys from the accident have both been sent home from the hospital. After seeing the hospital bill we decided to apply for financial help from a government traffic accident grant. However, applying requires that the accident be reported to the police. Something the families of the boys were quire reluctant to do. Yesterday, exactly one week after the crash we went back to the crash site with three police officers. There they measured some things, discussed some things, stopped traffic just because they could, and finally left again. Today we have to bring both the car and the motorcycle to the police for inspection. The fact that they had already been repaired seemed unimportant. We'll also give our statements, which should be interesting. Either way, I'm naively thinking that things can't get much worse at this point.
On another note, Esther is still sick and unable to walk. She's been given a wheelchair which helps her get around the house a bit easier. We're definitely seeing some progress, but it's much slower than we anticipated. She's been sick for 5 weeks and a day, and we're just starting to realize that she's not suddenly going to be jogging around in the next few weeks. It might be several months before she's fully recovered. But, all things considered, we're doing ok. There isn't really much we can do about our situation, other than seeing it as a fantastic opportunity for some character growth. I am already starting to see the humor in it all, which is usually a good sign.
