Send your best thoughts for CarlTR6 & his Wife (Mae Lyne)

That's good news Carl, very glad to hear it, wishing good luck and our prayers for Mae Lyne's recovery and test results.

Remember to take care of yourself as well.

Carl, I missed the thread, but now happy to hear good news.

Carl,
Hope this biker joke will be a change of pace for you.


Subject: There I was



There I was is sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large,
trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down
in one swig.

"Well, whatcha gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly, as I burst into
tears.

"Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd cry. I can`t stand
to see a man crying."

"This is the worst day of my life," I say. "I'm a complete failure.
I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking
lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance. I
left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my old lady in bed with the
gardener and then my dog bit me."

"So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all,
I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison
dissolve;
then you, you jack-ass, show up and drink the whole thing!

But enough about me,how's your day going?"

Like Dave said, "Take care of yourself as well!"
I've been trying to step away also but can't do it when you have a loved one at your side.
Best wishes for Mae and her quick recovery.

I liked it, too.!! Thanks for the laugh, Dennis. I needed it.

Glad to hear the good news Carl. I wish Mae Lyne a speedy recovery and you the strength to endure this trying time. Best wishes to you both!

Excellent news Carl , I wish Mae Lyne a safe and speedy recovery :)

That's wonderful news Carl, here's hoping the good news continues when the results come back, sending Mae Lyne all my love for a speedy recovery.:)

A good news update! They took Mae Lyne's breathing tube out around 11:00 EDT this morning. She is breathing fine with no adverse reactions. The swelling in her windpipe is way down and she is normal - well, as normal as Mae Lyne can be anyway. She is hurting; but doing well.

The surgeon waited around until visiting minutes (there is no such thing as visiting for an hour in ICU) in order to talk to me (read reassure me). He is very relieved that the tube came out with out a hitch. Before the tube came out, he scoped her lungs. She is right where she should be in the healing/recuperating process without any glitches or "ifs". He will have the biopsy results Tuesday or Wednesday.

It is such a relief to hear her talking and see her smile. The next step is removing the chest drain tube, which is only very slightly smaller than a garden hose. When that is removed, she will be transferred from ICU to a regular room. I look for that to happen Sunday.

Thank you all for your support, caring, and prayers. Keep it going!!!
