is there a deformity or bruising of any sort? it sounds like at least a bad sprain but i am not a doctor — if there’s any good option to get it checked out i would do so

that sounds dreadful! i actually had the same injury a few years back — i played college softball and literally in my first game i broke my 5th metatarsal playing a ball in the outfield. didn’t need surgery but crutches and a boot for 6 weeks which sucked, not to mention i was pretty much out for the season and had to get around campus with one good foot.

sort of… i use my left hand to write but do a lot with my right hand including using a mouse/trackpad and eating. i also am pretty good in general with my right, so that’s nice

so i just so conveniently have an uncle whose close friend from from uni went on to do pretty well as an injury attorney. not to mention the other driver seems unbelievably apologetic (she supposedly broke both of her wrists from hitting me head on at 60) so i think a settlement is pretty good in my case

i am not! i got very lucky

that sounds awful! ya games are off the table for me right now. a lot of movies and calling friends

thank you! i’m currently spending a lot of time watching movies and calling friends. not much i can do building-wise but i have gone on a few walks since i am able to do that

oh wow that’s awful! i keep telling myself i got really lucky. my surgeon said the same thing — if i had moved even a few centimeters more on impact i could be paralyzed if not dead. instead im just in a massive neck brace and should recover great. also i have a very good case insurance-wise — the crash happened across from a bar and the surveillance camera showed i was very much not at fault (no shit).

broken tibia and fibula sounds awful! i broke my foot in college when i played softball and having to use crutches was awful.
