I just want to sincerely thank everyone who has donated to this campaign. Your support during this difficult period has relieved a tremendous burden, and allowed me to focus on healing, instead of finances. It occurs to me that those of you who were willing to sacrifice for me may wish to have an update about my condition.

I had surgery and I am already in occupational therapy, to try to maximize the chance that I will regain full mobility in my right arm. There are exercises that I have to do three times a day, which keeps a pretty constant degree of pain, unfortunately. I'm sure it will get better with time.

My left wrist gets x-rayed every two weeks, to ensure that the bone hasn't separated ("displaced"). If that happens, I will need surgery on my left, so I have to be really careful not to lift anything heavy with it, or pull it in strange ways. It's difficult because that's my dominant arm right now, due to my right being post-surgery.

I have enduring pains in my neck and shoulders that seem to be getting worse, so I'm going to see a specialist soon. I had pain in my neck at the time of the accident, but after a CT scan didn't show anything, we hoped that it would recover by itself. It may need some help, however.

On the plus side, my dictation software has finally learned how to understand my mixed accent. So, that's a win. I am still staying with friends, who have been incredibly gracious and charitable, for I'm still unable to lift more than about 2 pounds, and I can't open jars. Please keep them in your prayers (my friends, not the jars).

Thank you all so much for your generosity, your prayers, and your messages of support. I'm incredibly moved by the response in the wake of this accident.
