Josh’s recovery

September 21, 2025, Josh was involved in a terrible bicycle/pick up truck collision.
His list of injuries was significant, and he spent 10 days in the ICU, and nearly a month in the hospital.

Injuries:
Broken Cheekbone (no surgery required)
Broke Transverse Process, 1 in neck, 3 in lumbar (These are the side protrusions of the spine)(no surgery required)
Fractured Left Scapula (no surgery required)
Broke/Fractured every rib on Left side (4 plates installed)
Fractured tip of Left pinky finger (surgery, thankfully didn’t have to remove it!)
Removed Spleen and part of Colon
Broke/Fractured Pelvis in 5 places (plates and very long screws installed)
Broke/Fractured Right leg Tibia and Fibula (large plate and many, many screws), Fasciotomy on both sides of right leg
Deep skin abrasions on lower legs, ankles

He was wheelchair-bound after his release from the hospital, and cleared to start load-bearing starting December 3rd (but there’s a chance he was on his feet before then, first with a walker around Nov. 21st, and then with arm crutches around Nov 29th).

Jen was able to do a few small projects solo, and work on our other business, Slate-ish, while Josh was working on healing.
We’re thrilled at his progress, and look forward to an amazing 2026.
