I'll leave that up to her to tell you. Honestly it goes into way too much
depth than I can get into here.

Once again, thanks to all you good people who've been so supportive through
all this.

The assholes, few in number, but heavy in criticism, have my sympathy.

No sweat. Tell her to take it easy and rest up before trying to get back
into here.

There's no problem with her getting rest. They poked and prodded her all
hours of the night. When I called her this morning before I went to work
she said they'd been testing her since 4 in the morning.

<sarcasm>
The had to test if the insurance was still paying.
</sarcasm>

She's sleeping like a baby and I assume she will be for many hours. I'll
sleep on the couch because I snore and make other distasteful bodily noises
in my sleep.

Thank you Peter,

No sweat mate.

She's a lovely girl, and you're a great bloke for sticking by her.

For the life of me I can't understand why people keep saying that.

I married her.

You know, "For better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health"

Oh, did I forget, "Until death do you part."?

I might not be the most religious man on the planet, but when I make a
promise like that to my partner in front of God and everybody, I intend to
keep it.

When she wakes up in the morning, I may then kiss the bride.
....and I don't have to drive to Tampa and kiss her in a ****ing hospital
room.

Christy's the only decent woman I've ever met. (as far as being a life
partner). I don't mean any offense to all you fine upstanding women on this
list. It's just that I've not met most of you nor was I romantically
involved.

I should shut up now because my back doesn't hurt anymore and that's an
indication of the pain killer kicking in.

I'm ecstatic that she's home. Of course she will have to see doctors again,
but hopefully there will be no more extended stays in the hospital.

Thank you Peter, and thank most of the rest of you.

That's because there's a lot of men (and the same goes for a lot of
women) out there that would head for the hills and never come back in a
situation like yours.
We hear about it all the time.

Coincidence??? On TV at the moment is a program........

Insight
The End of Marriage?

1.30pm – 2.30pm SBS
Friday 7 November 2008
Are we seeing the end of marriage? In the past 20 years the number of
people getting married in Australian has dropped by almost a quarter,
while de facto relationships have risen dramatically. Insight host Jenny
Brockie asks whether the institution of marriage is in slow, but
inevitable, decline. With a new bill being debated in Federal Parliament
that's designed to give de facto couples the same legal and economic
rights as married ones, will more Australians be entering a new form of
marriage without realising it? Or is living together still seen as an
important trial period before the big step? In this intriguing episode
of Insight, Jenny Brockie asks why are we no longer getting married? Is
it because we are scared of divorce or because marriage has become a
devalued or archaic institution?


:-)

The SO and I have been together now for 15 years. We got engaged about
18 months ago. We'll get married sometime :-)

She said "I want a church wedding."
I said "How about on a white sandy beach on some tropical Island in the
middle of the Pacific?"
She said "Screw the church wedding!!" :-)


>
> I might not be the most religious man on the planet,


God, no!! ;-P

I'm an equal opportunity bigot. I hate everyone, including 'God', the
same ;-)

I've been in plenty of hospital rooms, but never one of those. You guys
have all the fun!! ;-P

What sort of shit have they got you on for your back?

We're all hoping for the same thing. (well, most of us are)

A couch.
I'm on my back on the couch buying pain pills off the street. It's cheaper
than insurance.

Now if I could just find a black-market radiologist...

Please ask her to post it to her CaringBridge site. I keep looking
there for updates.

Yes Barb, I promise. I'm sorry I didn't do it, but it's been a bit (I wanna
say hectic, but schizophrenic is more like it) around here for a while.

I understand, Allan. The beauty of the CaringBridge sites is that you
(patient or patient's representative or family or whomever) can write
the story once in one place and well wishes can wish well there. You
(or others as indicated above) don't have to repeat the story, can reply
privately to well-wishers, and can screen comments to post. The
underlying philosophy is to reduce stress on patient and family by not
having to repeat the story umpteen individual times. It's a wonderful
thing and a wonderful way to express concern in an appropriate fashion
and place. Interested parties can sign up to an automatic alert if you
post something to the CB site, notifying people of new info to stay
current on her progress and pitfalls.

Please do, buddy. She'd love to hear from you without the distraction of
the machine that goes 'bing'.

And thanks again for being a true friend.
