Additional Info

First Deb's progress: She had her first surgery on her knee yesterday which was a prep for future surgery hopefully on Monday. A device was screwed into her upper and lower leg bones to stabilize the leg and hopefully reduce swelling. They will attempt to reconstruct the knee on Monday. She's doing OK but very upset about missing her work and other recent developments regarding the accident.

The state of South Dakota has charged her with disorderly conduct and she has to make a court appearance early in September (like she's going to able to do that). Additionally, according to the insurance company, the "honorable" ex-cop who hit her is planning on filing a law suit against Deb, apparently to recover the cost of a highway peg that was damaged when he hit her. . . Can this get anymore bizarre? What is wrong with people? I honestly don't know how this guy can sleep at night. I'm sure his mind is so clogged with thoughts about that damaged footpeg, that it's keeping him up at night. Poor guy. Maybe I should organize a benefit for him and collect highway pegs from other bikers and send them to him. Maybe it will give him some peace knowing that we too are concerned for the condition of his peg and hope for a speedy replacement. Maybe then he could have some concern for the person he almost killed.
