Danny Boy, I just love you! What Miss Vickie needs is some commiseration. You are the one to offer it in just the right way.

Girl, this day totally sucked for you. I am so sorry. As Daniel says, you sure have the right to bitch about the treatment. I recall one day when the doctor made Scott lie flat to examine his sutures after surgery. I knew it was not a good thing. Well, as you know lying flat with a trache is mighty tricky business and uncomfortable for sure. So, before we knew it Scott was coughing and choking and he let loose a gob of phlem that took airborne and both doctors had to dodge it. Missed one, but got the other. I had to try like hell not to laugh in spite of the awful situation.

I hope tomorrow is a better day for you, and I hope Scott's phlem made you smile! :p

Christine
