It was an important learning moment for me. Most mishaps are rooted in a lack of situational awareness.

Situational and self awareness, two qualities that get one far in life.. Missing one and you're doomed...Sadly, rather common that people are missing at least one if not both.

Is almost like you could see how my day went yesterday. I was fine. Wife was getting a cough looked at and managed to whack her arm in just the right spot. Fainted twice before I managed to get there. Not broken but needed X-rays to find out, and a tetanus shot. And I had to pick up her car. Spare key fob battery was dead when I got there...

Won't kill her this time. The utter lack of care and inability to connect with her PCD could some day though. 5+ weeks of it. Not always as bad, but asthma and such complicate recovery.

I’ve spent time in Japan and Mexico where that was my only form of translation. It’s far from 100% but it will get you a beer and a meal.
