I've decided and told my attorney I just want enough money to cover physical therapy and a small fund that could be used in case there are complications down the road. I don't want to sue him personally, only for his mother's sake. The woman actually sent me a letter apologizing for her son's actions and explained her hardships with him over the years. The last thing I want to do is bring more pain to her through her drunken son.

*Edit - I think there are times where I'm too nice for my own good. Maybe I should sue for all the money I can get. But man, I don't know if I could sleep at night for doing it.
