As most of you don't know...

Wednesday night Cruel was cycling to work around 8:30 and was struck by an SUV. What an ordeal.

I needed to come here tonight for support and encouragement for him/me.

::: crying :::

I have never been so terrified in my entire life. Ever!

To come so close to losing the one you haven't had nearly long enough time to love.

I was 3 cars behind Cruel when the accident happened although I didn't see it take place... I was taking his lunch since he had forgotten it on the counter. I thought there must be a dog or something that had been hit. so I pulled over to the side to go see if I could help and I see the the yellow of his helmet...

Cruel hands me a small handful of blood and a tooth that was yanked clear out... and proceeds to ask "How's my bike?"

Cruel was life flighted off the accident scene for fear of left leg damage would lead to loss.

Cruel also made small jokes about "Well, I at least got to ride in a helicopter, although I couldn't see out the window."

I think his humor was more out of worry for myself.

::: jelli to Cruel while in the trauma bay :::

"Baby, let me be strong now. You just focus on getting well."

Right knee and both palms are road rashed.

Left knee is severely injured. Glove effect to top of knee.

Left inner thigh/knee are had 14 sutures for another gash.

Bruises and swelling over arms and legs.

Face is road rashed, teeth injured, and mouth swollen.

Concussion.

No internal injuries. And they cleared the neck and spine.

We're lucky to have him tonight.

Tonight, I brought him home. This is where he wanted to be. This is where they said he'd heal faster. As I sit here, he's lying in bed, drugged and still in pain.

My heart still feeling as if someone is stepping on it.

{{{{{{{{{{Cruel}}}}}}}}}} soul of my soul. How I pray for you. How many deals with the Goddess I have made in the last 48hrs. ::: crying :::

I am at a loss and feeling ever so helpless. I wish I could lift your pain from your mind and body.

Heal fast my love.

I'm right here.
