my wife of 27 years is home. 2 and a half months ago hosiptal drones wanted to know if she had a living will when she collapsed at their front door, after about 3 weeks in the icu unit a doctor told me her prognosis was she would be a vegetable, i heard, "she will be lucky to walk again." my wife arrived at the shepherd center and walked out without assistence and climbed in my yahoo truck and i drove home. she is sleeping upstairs now. she will teach again. it's her "calling." i can't believe when i read back thru my earlier blogs and a more personal journal how much things have changed. i feel like a newlywed, not in a sexual sense, more just an exploration in what we like/enjoy together. she still does not like sweets, has a sense of humor and is very patient. strange behavior indeed. i'm looking forward to see how my tater has changed and how she adapts.folks i did not believe in santa claus, the tooth fairy, or anything i could not taste, touch, see, or feel. miracles happen folks! and i believe with all of the prayers, karma, good/kind thoughts, whatever you want to call it my wife was willed back to "life" may all of you that helped please breathe a sigh of relief, my claire is home. i hope that your trials are short and as welcome as mine have been. she is home, and life is good. from now on expect my irreverent sense of humor coming at ya staight between the ears! so many kind thoughts, karma, prayers reflected back at you. i wish i could have a group hug! i'll get moose to post camera phone pictures of my tater on her last day when she is available. our address is 1007 brookwood ave. col. ga. 31906. some folks had wanted to know...thanks ya!
