Damn, damn, and damn again

Hi folks,

For those who don't know what's going on, my youngest daughter Katy's boyfriend, Aaron, was in a motorcycle accident last Thurs. evening. The car turned into the parking lot he was in, the driver didn't see him and basically ran over him. His major injury was to his leg and foot, with multiple breaks in the leg and the foot was basically crushed. The doctors didn't give him a good chance to save the foot, but they were going to transfer him to Harborview Monday, as one of the best foot surgeons in the country is there.

I just got off the phone with Katy. After a teleconference with Harborview, it was decided that there was really no point in trying to keep Aaron's foot, since the main nerve had been severed it would just mean having to amputate later on. Anyway, he's in surgery right now. He's young and in good shape other than this, but it's going to be a huge mental adjustment for him. Katy's in the process of rearranging her classes so she'll have more time to spend at the hospital; it will mean a bit longer for her to graduate, but not that much and she's fine with that. It also means that she probably won't be coming home as much this year, so we'll have to go see her more.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know what's going on. If you want to write to her, contact me privately for her email.

<td>You are an artist, an aesthete, a sensitive, and someone who has never really let go of that childlike innocence. To you, all of life has a sense of wonder in it, and the story of Orpheus was written about someone just like you.

When the Argo passed the island of the Sirens, Orpheus played a song more beautiful than the Sirens to prevent the crew from becoming enticed. When his wife died, he ventured into the underworld to charm Hades but, in his naivete, he looked back becoming trapped there.

You can capture your unique world view and relate it to others with the skill of a master storyteller. Your sensitivity and creativity make you a treasure to the human race, but your thin-skinned nature and innocence can cause you a lot of disenchantment and pain. What's doubly unfortunate is that, if you try to lose those traits, you never will, and everyone will be able to tell that you're putting up an artificial shell to prevent yourself from being hurt.
