<VV> Getting there

[David S Malcolm]

Smitty

When I spent a month in the hospital and a month in rehab (when in 
comatose so I missed much of the drama) it was those wonderful nurses 
that got me off my butt, not literally I couldn't walk, but they were 
tough, sarcastic and everything I needed to make the decision that I had 
to try. It was very slow but I view them as having saved my life. Of 
course the MDs did their bit but they don't spend the time with you the 
nurses do. Yes an rehab it hard work but I returned to work and while I 
can't run, have some pain still they gave me my life back.

While we've never met I've been reading about you since the days of 
Spike which I though was an absolutely fantastic car.

All the best on your recovery from a friend you've never met.

> Good morning world.  Another day in the rehab hospital.  I think most of you are old enough to know how these things work.  Be doing something important like scratching your eyebrow and all at once realize that, no way could you ever have even raised your hand, much less scratched an eyebrow a week ago.  A lot of the credit goes to the cute, sweet little PT nurses with hearts of stone that can always squeeze one more lap , beyond human endurance , out of the latest session.
