Just a quick nothing. Day 17.

Today would have been the sixth-month mark for deployment. Instead, I'm at the Navy Lodge at Bethesda (now Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Bethesda). Each surgery has been progress, but he's still on a lot of drugs and not really himself. The fear of TBI is creeping up on me. I'm not getting ahead of myself- there's reason to be thinking about this. It's already been a wild ride, and the level of insanity has maybe been down graded from " impossibly frantic" to "unbelievably hectic". Or something.

Four days after my notification of Aaron's injuries, I was in Germany for a day. During this day, I received a horrible message that one of my best friends had died in a tragic and senseless car accident. His memorial is today, and I'm literally living the one reason why I wouldn't be there. My heart is broken is so many ways.

I am medicated a little bit, and I do have Aaron's parents here. We're all hanging in. It's just kind of settling in that this is it.  I do have some wonderful, amazing people taking care of everything back at Fort Drum so I don't really have to worry about that. I feel a lot of love, and it all really does help. Some days are still better than others.

 I promise a real post soon. Thank you for your kind words and all. It means a lot. Here is his Caring Bridge:

    Many hugs to you. Sending prayers your way.

    I'll be up to Bethesda Naval in a few weeks. I'll try to get with you before then. :-)

    You and your family are in my thoughts--I only wish I still lived in northern Virginia so I could be of some actual help, rather than half-way across the country. If there's anything I can do from Texas, please let me know!

    I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. I know I'm just a random reader out in blog-land, but I am keeping you & your family in my thoughts.
