Résumé (so far)

The only thing I can say: I have been EXTREMELY fortunate!
Fortunate in EVERY aspect:
- that I'm not dead/ paralyzed/ drowned in the lake where I crashed (I 'was landed' on the partly frozen lake);
- that I crashed on snow and not on something harder;
- that the accident happened in Switzerland and not anywhere else: extremely experienced Medevac crew (Doctor, assistant, pilot);
- that Medevac arrived within 15minutes; only 12 minutes flight to the
hospital;
- that in that hospital they have a very experienced specialist for
vertebrae 'problems';
- that only my left side (arm/ leg) is affected (apart from my back), so
I can use my 'untouched' right side without restrictions in order to
help me move etc;
- that a very good friend of ours, himself a doctor, lives just 5
minutes from the hospital, so he visited almost every second evening and
was also able to help me understand what was going on ('medically
speaking') and help me take some decisions regarding where to go for
rehab etc
- lucky also that I was in 'Chur', so some of my friends from high
school have been able to visit;
- Rehab now is only a 40 minutes drive from home for Ruth;

Your big question most probably is: what happened?
I have to say that honestly I don't know!
Of course there is some speculation on my part as to what happened, but
it is only speculation!
I wanted to fly an (easy) spiral (3 or 4 turns) above the lake before
landing on the side of the lake.
During this spiral - I assume - I must have lost consciousness;
I didn't (re)act at all: no trying of getting out of the spiral, no
thought of throwing my reserve, no nothing...
And that is also the reason that most probably I'll stop flying -
because I don't have any explanation and therefore the same thing could
happen on my 'next' flight and I'd be none the wiser...
Further more (as I mentioned above) my guardian angel has been working
overtime and I have no intention to get him into the same situation any
time soon.

So I'll be here in rehab at least until April, 27th, then I don't know yet.
I'm hoping that by then I'll be able to handle 'normal lives chores' by
myself/ with only a minimum of assistance and can return home.
