Thank you everybody for their well wishes. I keep reading them on Facebook. Here is a newspaper article that describes what happened http://www.lcsun-news.com/ci_20258587/las-cruces-woman-hurt-i-10-accident?source=most_viewed because I don't really remember anything. It has all been very surreal and as I'm starting to piece everything back together very intimidating. The ironic thing is that I finally getting over everything else and that Monday I was excited to be getting back to normal.

The good news is that I'm very goal oriented. After I got released from ICU yesterday they left my healing up to me. I'm weaning myself off the pain meds, learning to walk again,etc. once I meet these goals I get released! That is empowering. Last time I had this surgery and that procedure but now I'm in the drivers seat! I'm hoping to get home real soon. Also Chris has really been with me through the worst like he has never been.

The hard part is the learning what I have to do again. I've been through hell and I look like it :p Getting home is the first step but it will probably be three months of rehab after. The idea is home health for a few weeks and than out patient rehab. My whole right side was crushed. I have broken broken bones in my shoulder and hand. Not being self-sufficient has been tough for me. I can't dwell on that! I just need to get better so I can be independent again. I've got 3 great kids to get better for and I'm lucky it wasn't worse. Still this all just sucks. I want to get back to living and not just healing.

Thanks again for all the support.

Francisca

Looking better!

    More prayers from Cincinnati sent your way! i swear if I am ever in your area, I am stopping in to bring you a meal. You are a trooper with an awesome attitude. I have been reading a book call "Calm my anxious heart" with a women's group at church. It is all about finding contentment in whatever your circumstance is and you exemplify that to me.

    You R definitely an inspiration to all. Recovery is slow but its what your mind, body and soul needs. You will be ready for water aerobics soon enough, and swimming is gentle on muscles recouping. Your kids will have that wonderful energetic mom back just in time for summer and yay, the beach. New swimsuits 4 all!! 4Ever in our heart & minds....
    Love ya tons, Chris & Marina G./ Palmdale, Ca...

    Gah! That is it. I am ordering you to stop getting sick and hurt. It isn't fair to all of us who love you to see you go through so much. I need to stop complaining about my life. I have it easy! Man, I really can't leave you alone for a minute, can I? I hope they find the other car and are able to have their insurance pay for all of this. I cannot believe what you are going through! Know that I love your guts, and am praying like mad for you. Also, I am going to put your name in the temple. Call me, okay? I can't find your number to call you.
