Still Uploading Taipei!

I skyped with KJ early this morning. It was nice talking to him again. It's has been about 6 months since I spoke to him and we have been several timezones and an accident apart.

He's starting to work 2 hours from home each day. In New Zealand, they have a occupational therapist who will asses your condition and intercede with your employer to determine the amount of work you can do.

Just last week, he could not read due to severe headaches. It is amazing how quickly the body can cover. He was complaining about boredom - which is a good sign.

It was nice to receive emails from some of you and we really appreciate that your thoughts are with us.

We are all on the road to recovery since our car collision on 22nd December. The attached photo and write-up was published recently. It was truly a miracle the events of the car collision weren't worse and that one passer-by happened to be a trained paramedic who immediately stopped to help us.

KJ was discharged from Wanganui Hospital on Friday 5th January and is now recouperating at a close friend's home in Palmerston North.

He will undergo rehabilition and rest during the next 6 months whence he will return to hospital to have surgery to remove the rod-screws and stitches in his right leg. He is expected to be able to return to work again on 22nd February.

His memory is still not too good and is unlikely to recall what actually happened that day. Myself and the other passenger (owner of the car) didn't see what happened as I had just laid back to rest and she was looking for some sweets KJ requested for just before the big 'Bang'. We suspect he lost concentration, was tired and turned round to obtain the sweets.
