Day 18

Sorry for the delay in getting anything posted. Since we got home we have been on the constant move. Neither of us realized just how hectic it would be once home.

Yesterday we were back in Allentown for the first of many follow-up visits. We felt like we had just left. We met with the orthopedic doc who performed the wrist surgeries and the burn recovery center. Both offices were pleased with the progress to date. Bink is still healing, but has definitely come very far.

Yesterday we stopped at the CCEDC and today we stopped in to Trinity for a visit. We have both been floored by the generosity of both of our respective colleagues. There is the unfortunate reality that sometimes you forget just how loved you are until something awful happens. Both of our workplaces have been fantastic in looking out for us and making sure that we get any help we need. Neither of us could have anticipated the outpouring of assistance we have received. When Bink first woke up, one of his comments was that we really did not have that many friends. I think everyone has proven otherwise to both of us.

For those that have not seen Bink since the incident, I am guessing you want to see a picture. I will try to get one tomorrow and post it.

If anyone is interested, here are a couple of links that are pretty interesting (okay, interesting to me):

Thank you again to everyone. I don't think that we will ever be able to say thank you enough.
