I'm so sorry to hear this, Karen. It's quite understandable that you'd be feeling a lot of strain and anxiety with all this going on. I'm glad the doctor had the foresight to do that MRI, and not just discount the pain as being a pinched nerve. In a time where sometimes our healthcare feels impersonal, it's good to see they CAUGHT it so they can fix it. Obviously, if you need to vent/expel some of that anxiety, vent away! Sending well-wishes your way, Jenn

Sending good thoughts and hopes for a good outcome ... and offering prayers on Bill's behalf ... and for confidence and peace of mind for all of you in the midst of it all.

What a small world it sometimes turns out to be - and I've sometimes said that it could well be that often we won't find out unless we ask a question or two, or make a couple of comments, more than one might regularly expect to do. Sometimes it's the second mile that produces the payoff. ole joyful

What a terrible accident! Her neck was broken? All this glass? She's lucky to be *alive*! So glad they are able to save her sight. Was she wearing a seatbelt? (Abdominal bruising?)

Thanks everyone! patti43-I do have a large house,4 bedrooms and 2 baths,2 living areas.Since DGS and his GF left and DGD will be moving out to live with her dad this week,I'll have 2 extra bedrooms.One for them and one for other guests if that should ever happen.LOL DH and I have bedrooms on opposite ends of the house from where DS and DDIL will be so we will all have our own space.Yes, DS will be a big help to DH with all the manitenence (Is that spelled right? My spell check says no but shows that as the spelling,strange) that needs to be done and if we wanted to take a break they would be able to handle the business for a few days. Linda-Babies are due Aug. 17 but I'll bet she won't go that long.Just trying to keep them in there as long as possible.
