The Lord continues to be merciful to Joe Miller. He has begun to get back some minor movement. Joe is not out of the woods yet, however. He is suffering from an infection that doctors are attributing to the prolonged use of a breathing tube. Honestly, the doctors didn't expect him to live this long, so normally, a patient wouldn't have been on a breathing tube so long. Pray that Joe recovers from this infection so that he can get the tracheostomy that will help Joe's breathing to improve.

On a totally unrelated note, I had a bike accident tonight.
No, I wasn't hit by a car, though I must admit, that has almost happened and that was partially my fault. Regardless, what happened tonight was definitely my fault and was caused by something I could've prevented.
As I was making my way home, I had stopped at Tommy's for a late dinner. As I made my way home, the chain I use to lock up my bike slipped off my handlebars and caught in my front wheel. My wheel froze, the bike slammed to a halt, and I went over the handlebars. I put so much of my weight down on the front wheel that it's now potato-chip-shaped. I landed on my right knee, primarily, and it's swelling and aching as I write this.
As a said, I could've prevented this whole thing. When I unlocked my bike to leave, I didn't lock the two ends of the chain together, as I usually do. I thought I had done it at first, but when I realized I hadnt, I let it go and figured it was no big deal. I was wrong and I've got a very sore right knee to prove it.
I guess I needed to learn the lesson not to let the small things go, because the small things can have big consequences.
