I don't know right now. I'm sure eventually, but I spent last evening helping to feed, shower, and dress her because she could only lift her left arm, which isn't her dominant. I remembered today is going to be a slow day at work, so I'm calling in once my manager is awake so I can help get her to the doctor and whatever else she'll need.
The problem with DC is the people. In NYC, most people using mass transit live there, so while they aren't any more caring or nice than in DC, they do get the way things go and there's a more organic flow to subway travel. But in DC, it's a convergence between DC, Maryland, and Virginia, and everybody making a trip into, out of, or through thinks they're the most important person in the world (especially if they're from our MD county). So this is not the first time someone's hurt her during her commute. It's not even the first time someone's hurt her while exiting the shuttle.
I wish everyone who's ever hurt her could feel exactly what they've made her feel. Not just the immediate physical pain, but the fear, stress, and recurring pain that lasts weeks beyond the initial incident, the expense of missing work and doctors appointments and prescription drugs. Just a wave of all those people suffering the consequences of actions they care so little about that they don't even remember.
But since this is real life, the best I can do is insist she find a new job that doesn't require her going into DC anymore.
