Oh dear... I am sorry to hear about the accident. Yes, drunk drivers are absolute low-lifes and they should not be let off at all.
I once tailed a drunk driver and called the police at the same time to ensure that the drunk did not get away. Police joined the trail when the offender was 5 minutes away from his home. Caught red handed. Got home 30 minutes later than usual but it was worth it.
Glad to hear that you are on the way to recovery but damn.... those things sticking out of your knuckles look painful.
