Further proof, if we needed it, that segways are dangerous

Very tragic, but hopefully this will make folks think twice about riding the things!

As for me: I'm doing great! No more surgeries (I hope), so that's the biggest improvement. I still spend a lot of time visiting doctors for follow-ups. And visiting dentists. My bite is still off and my mouth hurts sometimes. And my lips are still partially numb, even after 7.5 months! I guess this is a long recovery.

But compared to where I was, this is a huge improvement.

The other lingering annoyance is the ongoing battle with the insurance company. Since dentists have had to get involved and I don't have dental coverage, they are arguing these visits shouldn't be covered. I'm still explaining...and explaining...and explaining...that I'm not seeing the dentist to have my teeth whitened! It's a medical issue.

I'll keep trying...

Thanks to everyone who sent me the news about the Segway CEO's accident.
