Crunched, I may be new to this site, but I've followed this thread repeatedly throughout the day and am beyond joy that your wife has improved so markedly since your initial post.
I can sympathize with the utter feeling of helplessness, fear and misplaced shame when the person you love is beyond your ability to care. Thank god for the care she's received, and it looks like her recovery is on a steady trajectory back to solid health.
My thoughts will be with you and your soon-to-be-wife tonight, Crunched. I hope you are able to rest soon.

It's still too early to judge. She is speaking slowly and is having trouble with motor control, but she's improving quickly. When she first woke up, she wasn't able to spell words (kept typing out gibberish while trying to text), but now she is doing well. She was given the OK to eat ice chips, but I needed to help her use a spoon to pick them up. But she hasn't been behaving differently than she normally does

So glad to hear that things are progressing more positively. Stay strong for her, and make sure she sees you smiling.

Just read this thread and most of your posts/updates, Crunched. Like many others, thoughts and prayers are with you. Hope she fully recovers and that you never have a scare like that again.
I'm leaving for the night. It's tough for me to leave her. I feel almost like I'm abandoning her. But I have been awake nearly 48 hours and I don't want to crash tomorrow in case I'm needed. I think I'm going to sleep on the couch and let her friend use the bed. I don't think I could deal with sleeping in bed without her tonight.

Just know you've done literally everything thats physically possible to be there for her, and then some. Don't feel like you're abandoning her, because you're not. You'll be there tomorrow as soon as possible I'm sure for her and throughout this healing process. Just try and get some sleep so you can be refreshed and ready to be by her side tomorrow.
Guile?

You guys have insurance, right? otherwise this is going to suck...it seems she's going to recover though, so that's great. sorry this happened, but just remember the finish line is close.

Money is the least of his concerns right now.
I'm sure he'd trade anything for her to come out just fine. Thankfully, she sounds like she is improving.

Money is a small price to pay for someone else's well being.
Her insurance is being disputed. She sent in the dispute about two weeks ago, and they told her a response could take up to 90 days. She was supposed to be insured through work, but something somewhere went wrong and it never became active.
We are trying not to worry about that right now though.

Right after you said "she couldnt speak" I thought seizure. My mom had one about 2 years back, and was scary as all hell. Fortunately it was a small one and nothing like this happened to her.
She really is in the best place now, the doctors will take care of her, I hope everything works out for you two.

Just got home and started reading this thread. up to here, this got me the most.
I hope she continues to get better, and recovers nicely. From the sounds of things she is tough will improve daily. Just don't let her try to get back into things too quickly. Healing fast is great, but over doing it or under estimating how much recovery is left can be a back thing.
That's what I'm worried about. We've already suffered one false start toward recovery. I don't know if I can physically or mentally withstand another one.
Here is me and her just a few weeks ago:
Her and her best friend:
With the iPhone in her hospital bed. After what she went through last night, I am immensely happy that she is able to even pick up the phone like this:
I am going to bed. Can't keep my eyes open.
Thank you for all your support, GAF. I will update with more news in the morning.

Damn, that's rough. Hope it works out for you. I know you don't want to think about it, but the sooner you get this done with, the better. Don't relax about the insurance, in america, that's your first worry after the injury. Get it taken care of as soon as possible. it'll also help keep your mind off the accident as much as possible.

You two look adorable. It's amazing that she is doing so much better, I'm relieved. I hope everything continues to improve.
I just wanted to let you know that this thread has been the one tab I've had open for the last 18 or so hours, regularly refreshing to see your updates. I am glad to see how well her recovery has been going, and I can't really do much besides wish for the best so here's hoping everything works out ok for her. Stay strong, my friend.

Making a big ass e-card for Crunched's fiancee. PM me .pngs of your e-sigs (username or real name) typed* or written. Should be at least 200px by 200px or 72 pt font (bigger is fine it's going to be resized for the card.)
Here's what it's starting to look like in case you're wondering.
*If you want me to just throw your name up on there without the hassle of making a .png I can and if you have a color/type preference tell me.

Go ahead and throw my name up there! My name's Chris, purple and or/gold if possible
(see avatar). Or just put my username if that's what everyone's going with. Either way is fine!Ace Harding

Crunched, just saw this thread and want to let you know I'm thinking about you and your Beyonce tonight - really happy to hear she is recovering.
Ugh. I don't know why but earlier I was cleaning my house and my mind started to wander to your situation. The thought that hit me is that our system is so fucked up now that she will probably have trouble ever getting insurance again. We're penalized or disqualified for the most trivial health issues, let alone if we've ever had a serious illness or simply been involved in an accident. We're put under threat of financial ruin for no other reason than because we live. That's so terrible. Sorry, I don't mean to be a downer and I'm really happy to see your lady is improving.

Just add my user The_Inquisitor. Good luck dude.
Was following this thread all day. Very encouraged to hear she's made so much progress in such a short span. That's an absolute nightmare to go through, for her, you and everyone involved. I can't imagine how rough it's been Get some rest, and I hope she continues to make a full recovery.
Events like this remind me how fragile life is.

You both sound like amazing people, and I couldn't be happier for you guys that this is going so well. Thoughts and prayers are with you. Hope she keeps improving.

Wow, I can't imagine what you are going through. I caught this thread early this morning and now to catch up and see the pics of you and her so happy then the hospital pic. Honestly made me tear up.
Nothing but support and best wishes for you both. You've been awesome and she is definitely strong as hell. Hang in there man. Hope to keep reading positive updates in the next few days.

damn crunched, i know you keep hearing it from the staff, but that could've gone way worse, so glad it didn't. and i had to laugh at one of your last posts - patients always ask about their clothes, i did too.
rest up, stay on top of those CT's and be firm about the orders you're given for her limits during recovery, man. remind her if she does the right thing, this becomes a distant, bad dream before you know it. stay strong man.
also, PMing Devolution, great idea.
