Greekdee, LOVED the story and I'm so glad things are turning out okay. And XAntoftheSkyX, I like your gif!
I have to agree with some of the other posters--back in the day the GDIs were the haters, not simply non-Greeks. Of course, according to a thread from last week, I'm quite elderly and probably not in my right mind.
And as far as the chest injuries go after an accident like that--it could have been a LOT worse. I did something similar last summer--wrecked my ride, picked it back up, and kept going, thinking I was a little banged up but basically okay. God had taught me another lesson without killing me. Well, it darn near DID kill me as things settled out over the next week or so. Your husband did the right thing in not trying to tough it out any further, and thank heavens his brothers were there for your family.
That is all. Off my soapbox now. Thanks for the story!
