thanks for all

the concern that everyone has expressed! We really appreciate it. It's wonderful to have people in our lives who care about our well-being. Nothing like a scary accident to make you realize that you can't take the people in your lives for granted.

The update:

Both of us have broken and displaced noses. Yay. That means we check in with plastic and sinus specialists tomorrow to see where we go from here. My face is starting to look a bit more normal again though. The puffiness is now a sweet jaundice-yellow color and will hopefully be gone in a day or two. My lip sports a smaller scab than before. I don't think my lip will scar but there are marks between my lip and nose that I worry about. My neck is stiff so they gave me some muscle-relaxers to take at night. Hoping that goes away soon too.

And yes, we have good lawyers.

The sad thing is that it looks like I could have been in a bad fight or something rather than a car accident. When I was getting my nose x-rayed today, the radiologist asked me if I had fallen. But the way she asked me was more of in an expectant sort of way, as though she assumed that is the "story" I had. She seemed surprised when I mentioned it was a car accident. I suspect she sees a lot of battered women coming in to that office. Made me sad. It's hard too, to be in public places, e.g.: going to the grocery store to get my prescription filled, walking downtown to go to the lawyers or even in the hospital itself. Everyone stares at me, wondering why my face is such a strange sort of yellow. I'll be extra glad when I just look normal again.
