Wish you a speedy recovery @arbitrarykitten . I can't even imagine what you must have been going through right now. I was in an motorcycle accident during my teenage days and whatever happened that night kept on repeating in my mind for next few months. It was only after my Mom forced me to drive the car around the same neighborhood that I was able to recover mentally.
Your mom did good :). It's like what they say after a horse throws you- you gotta get right back on it...
