We went to that Cars & Coffee event once before, on 11 Nov 2023. I sometimes log trivial things in my calendar, and I’d written that down. When I saw that on my calendar it gave me pause because the very next day is a date I’ll always remember: 12 Nov 2023 is when my wife almost bled out and died. I posted about that here ➜ CPR: how long with no revival before they stop CPR? ■ .
Today, some 18 months later, she is still in recovery. It has been a long road but fortunately it’s a good road on a good trajectory. She is still on full disability and we’re fortunate that her company has a good long term disability coverage. She cannot return to work because, while she does feel good enough to go to a Cars & Coffee, she still spends several hours during the day knocked out, sleeping and resting (yesterday afternoon she slept for a good 6 hours, and then we went to bed at 8 (yeah early) and she slept the whole night through).
I’ll share the pic of us yesterday morning at C&C:
Some here might recognize our ivory 356 behind us. And here is our group there, and our friends’ 2 Corvettes parked next to the 356:
We remain humbled and grateful for blessings great and small.
