Healing slowly





Here are a couple more pictures of Steve's injuries from the accident. His leg is pretty swollen where the bruise is and he has spent his time either lying on the couch or in the easy chair since coming home from the hospital. It is very painful for him to stand or try to walk due to the puncture wound in his foot. And the other foot has bruising on the bottom of it too from the crash. We have also discovered that he chipped a tooth and injured his jaw. So, chewing has been difficult for him too. He really doesn't have much of an appetite though. He's drinking plenty of fluids and eating softer foods for now. I also attached a couple photos of the accident scene. You can get an idea of how far his bike went off the road and how damaged it is. He is really fortunate that he even lived through this crash!!

  1. Lora, we are so sorry to see these pictures and yet thankful that he is in one piece. You have all gone through so much lately, with two trips to the hospital! John was wondering of course about insurance, but your Mom reassured us that it was not Steve's motorcycle. Hope that he heals up quickly, and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jennie
