The worst day of my life

[Le Grille]

Mate, this is awesome. Candice sounds like she is one tough lady!

 

[Arden]

So the worst day of my life is leading to the happiest days of my life, with my daring wife still with me and a new outlook on the world.

Candice strides have been immense in such a short period. And by that I mean selfishly my wife is awake, alert, moving about, remembers many things and most of all still loves me.

She was smiling the greatest smile today as I recounted to a nurse how I had proposed. Then the nurse asked her if she remembered all that and she nodded her head. Seeing her strain and pull herself just to get closer to me as I sit next to her. Seeing her give me a thumbs up when I ask her if I can give her a kiss.

It's like my life stopped and now started again.

Don't stop telling us these stories mate

 

[Gasometer]

Excellent news.

Every time I look at the title and date of your post I feel mixed emotions as that day is my birthday.

So my present to you both is that Candice has a full recovery.

Oh FFS. I got through last night without shedding a single tear. Now they are actually pouring down my face.

How brilliant that you two have each other. Thanks so much for sharing TBL, please continue to keep us updated.

What a way to finish the weekend, reading the above news from you tbl. I'm absolutely thrilled for you both. I'd been holding my breath for positive news to continue flowing in and didn't expect anything nearly as comprehensively positive so quickly. It's a bloody miracle!

Apparently I was meant to finish the weekend off like an emo, down in the dumps because we lost a dead rubber footy game and farewelled four blokes who not only got to live their dream and play AFL, but did so for many years, being handsomely rewarded and gaining thousands of fans along the way.

I officially couldn't give a crap about any of that now.

Go Candice you star! Hopefully both of you will go on to live your own dream lives together now. Brilliant!

Great stuff TBL & Candice. Our combined footy misery pales in this thread.
Love is not overated

Fantastic to read that Candice is continuing to make steady progress. Such awesome news!! Still thinking of you and Candice and wish you nothing but the best.

 

[The_Ru]

Genuinely ecstatic to hear such good news from you TBL. Sounds like Candice is making every post a winner at the moment. What a shinboner!

Just excuse me for a moment, I seem to have something in my eye...

Thanks for caring.

Speaking of roller coasters the last two have been on the harder side. Candice looks like she's been fighting Rocky after major facial
Surgery two days back. They told me about it previously and it sort of got delayed and then snuck up on me.

Jeez she's tough. Her body has been through so much already.

The good news is that today she's been doing all the awesome things she was previously. Other then opening her eyes. They were too swollen.

Wondering how things are going TBL. Sending goods thoughts your way.

She is tough. Facial surgery is hard work even when nothing else has been going on. Good news I guess is that they wouldn't even think about it if they weren't sure she was strong enough, so her broader recovery must have been charging ahead for the surgery to be scheduled. Keep taking care of both of you.
