Glad you are okay.

I was talking to a friend recently about her struggles with post accident recovery. She was hit twice by distracted drivers in the last few years. One was talking on a cell phone, the other was texting.

She is dealing with serious concussion problems (not unlike the type some professional athletes suffer post-career). She has not been able to work for a long time. It is difficult to sleep. She can't read for long or have long conversations without getting tired. She used to be a triathlete - recently she was just able to go for a walk for 20 minutes. She has PTSD and is unable to drive far. Her life was drastically altered by two reckless drivers. She is improving, and her optimism and perseverance are an inspiration.

Drive safely people, and put away your smartphones for christ's sake.
