Hey everyone. Just a brief update..

I’m now out of the hospital and am at home (actually staying with my parents for a few days so they can help me a little) and am slowly recovering. I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus…

I had my first of many appointments today, this one with one of the plastic surgeons who helped piece me back together. Evidently I’m a very fast healer. He removed most of the stitches from my face and in and around my eye. The stitches in and around my ear (about 75 stitches or so), and the staples in the back of my head need to be left in until next week. The swelling has begun to come down a bit, and the bruising is now setting in. Looks like I went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson - ear damage and all!!

My left side, where I broke a rib and bruised several others, is extremely sore, and no matter how I sit I’m in constant discomfort.

With all that said, I feel like the luckiest guy in the world. Perhaps blessed would be a better word. A fraction of an inch up, down or sideways, and I would have lost an eye. Had I not been wearing a seatbelt (something I admittedly fail to do quite often), and i certainly wouldn’t be here writing this right now. I honestly had no business walking away from an accident that violent, and it really is amazing I not only didn’t die, but that my injuries are as minor as what they are…

There are so many other variables that leave no doubt in my mind that someone was without a doubt watching over me and protecting me.

Thank you all so very much for all the thoughts, prayers and well-wishes via emails, messages here, and phone calls. It means so incredibly much to me.

I’ll continue to keep you all updated as I continue to heal.
