Bob, glad to hear that everything is OK. I met Rhonda years ago, when you and I were friendly sparring partners, and from all the years of this and the other board, everyone knows that she IS your LifePartner. I couldn't imagine you without her -- if ever two people were meant to be together for a very very long life, it is you two.
Now, on a lighter note, since she is home and well and snuggling, hasn't anyone thought ----
my brain would explode too, if I had to listen to Dr.Idiot,Esq. on a regular basis!!!
{this said totally in jest, and with great happiness that she is well enough (as far as I know) to breathe a sigh of relief and toss in a little levity}

you really are a psycho bitch! PERIOD ???WTF??? Sorry, Heidi, but I think that that was totally uncalled for. Maybe you are trying to cull favor with the senior denizens of the board by being the first to denigrate me? When I'm debating a volitile topic, have at it! But I'm wishing an old friend well, and tossing off some levity -- this to you is psycho bitch? ?? Meanwhile, I don't even KNOW you, whereas I do know Dr.Bob, Dr.Rhonda, and most of the others. Yay Heidi for getting the first shot in!!

Hey Irish, i'm not gonna pile on, cause i dont know you and for all i know perhaps that WAS said in jest. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt there. But i DO have a serious question, perhaps unrelated to this situation...
I dont know you...and have only heard stories here about you and seen your odd posts. What's the deal? how come you only seem to come out on full moons? I had heard that before, but didnt really believe it...but just looked outside and it looks like a full moon. whats the deal? or is that just a coincidence?
Mike(who really does wanna know, isnt actually stirring the pot for once)

Frankly, I don't know, moonwise. I tossed out some support for Rhonda.
That's it.

I have to admit I *did not* take offense at Irish's post. I thought she posted her feelings for a full recovery by Rhonda and then ribbed me a little in a way that I thought she clearly noted was meant to be in jest.
If Irish *really* meant to offend, it would have been more obvious.
Let's leave the teeth gnashing for the political forum and remember that at any moment, any one of us could lose our life.
Live life to its fullest, I say. Love the one your with, for tomorrow you may be alone.
............Bob

If so, then by all means, I would suggest that you please pick me -- after something I ate over the weekend, I'm really not feeling too well at all.

Bob:
I join with others in being genuinely delighted to hear that Rhonda's recovery is progressing.
My wonderful sister, three years younger (and much smarter) than me, a brilliant pianist, valedictorian in her University class, former director of the Diplomatic School in Beijing, suffered an aneurysm five years ago, compounded by a stroke induced by subdural pressure from the bleeding.
She can no longer play the piano. She cannot use a computer because of damage to the part of her brain that recognizes symbols. Her speech is slurred, and she cannot assemble a coherent sentence without trying several times. She has great difficulty reading.
That Rhonda seems to have avoided these tragic results is really touching, and I share (I hope) in your deep relief and happiness.
Andy

I talked to the doctor today and he said Rhonda might be able to come home tomorrow (Sunday!). I told him we are in no hurry, but from a medical standpoint can see that they are doing little for her as she has sailed through this near-tragedy with flying colors. I just got off the phone with her and she sounded great, was finishing watching a movie and about to go to sleep. I think I'm going to relax and ponder all this for awhile. As many times I have been around death, near death, helping families cope, there is nothing like having a loved one like your wife to bring you front and center, to realize how precious everything and everyone is. I think back on several occasions where I utterly failed to assuage a families grief on the loss of a love one, but found the ability to help others in their time of need. I wish I could have done better, as having been on the "other" end now, I have seen where there are problems in the system, yet they go unnoticed because those who "run" the system haven't experienced what I, and countless others, have. We in medicine think we know so much. And we do, but . . . I am glad Rhonda and I have our Hedo friends. Often I read the threads from those who think Hedo is only about sex, partying, and the such. *TRUE* Hedo friends know it's about so much more. I have been shaken by the events of this past week, but moved by the love of those of you who have offered your prayers and best wishes. The next day or two I'm going to bring my Rhonda home . . . and I'm going to love her more than ever, if that is possible. And I'm going to know that we take life to the limit, like all Hedo folks do, living it to it's fullest. This might not be the type of "trip report" that one submits to Denny, but I think it goes without saying it's been a trip. Peace be with you all. I'm going to warm the bed for Rhonda. ................Bob Bob, that was the most wonderful, heartfelt prose I've read in a long time. It made my eyes well up with tears! I hope you've shared this with Rhonda you're both very special people.

Andy I am so sorry to hear about your sister. Life is bizarre sometimes when bad things happen to good people. We all look for reasons, but often find few. I am still not sure what to think of all this. Without question, Rhonda should not even be here . . . her doctor told her the day after surgery that there were several times between the initial bleed and treatment that she should have died. I guess there is something else left for her to do in life and it just wasn't her time yet. I really believe things happen for a reason and it's up to us to figure out what that is . . . and learn from it. I know for many, that is hogwash. But, to each his own. Hopefully, we will grow from this experience and live life better than ever. And to all the gang, Rhonda got a *BIG* mail delivery today, cards that were sent to the hospital that were delivered to our home. It's truly touching . . . .............Bob
