Accident update



My right leg is the worst.

 Well , here are the pics from 2 weeks of healing!  I am doing much better.  My ribs and sternum are still sore / bruised.  Some movements are still quite painful.  Most of the road rash is gone but my leg still looks pretty bad.  It's hard to heal in the tropics.  Everyone here says it looks good.  It is still painful and I get stabbing pains frequently.  I just finished a 10 day round of oral antibiotics so we will be watching closely for infection and get on another round before anything takes off.  Thanks so much for all of your prayers. 

This could have been so much worse!  I left relatively little hide at the scene, no broken bones, I didn't get run over by the motorcycles or cars behind me, I didn't break a tooth that got scraped, (gotta see a dentist to file it smooth) I don't know if I was smiling when I went down, not sure how my tooth and not my lips got scraped!  Nothing was stolen from me while I was passed out.  I haven't seen my helmet since I put it on that day.  I don't know if it came off or was removed at the scene by the kind man who stayed with me for so long.  I finally replaced it and will ride again today or tomorrow for the first time since the accident.  We have been borrowing a car from friends who are in Singapore for medical issues.  What a Blessing that has been.



All my freckles and tan have been rubbed off!



My right leg, knee, and ankle (the worst) except for the ribs.



At school my students come up with wide eyes looking at my scabs and tell me that they are praying for me!  I am fast to tell them that is why I am in school teaching and not at home in bed.  God is answering their prayers!  They get a huge grin that melts my heart!  I love my job!  OH! did I say job?  I guess if the definition of a job is that you get paid for work then it is, but my pay comes in the form of smiles, hugs, waves and yelling, "HI Aunt Dion!" each time they see me! God is good!

cut above my eye is scarred but I am not upset!  I am so glad that God kept me safe! :)
