I was quite shocked reading your post Tony.
I hope everything goes well, as the other posts said try and keep some kind of normality from your side and find that strength for your wife. I'm sure you know this already though!

2007 has been a bad year for us as well. Son was severly ill in January and required an operation. Several deaths in the family. Struggling business.
I sincerly hope your wife regains her full health. I would recommend some time off - nothing's more important than family.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

My advice : Carry on working
One more thing TE (and anyone else: like 'previous poster') - try to carry on working if you can (obviously need to take time off to escort your wife to the hospital etc), but having been through difficult times in the past, I find that work gives you some sense of normality (sort of), so I wouldn't stop working and I'll carry on doing whatever I was doing to keep my mind off things. Nothing to do with money, just keeping the routine.Last edited by Dow Jones; 12 December 2007, 15:48. Reason: add 'and anyone else like previous poster'Comment

Hey Tony, I'm really sad to hear you've had yet another setback.
I don't know how you two cope with it all, but somehow you do, an example to us all. Here's looking forward to sorting out the latest problems.
My thoughts are with you mate.

Usually, if the news is bad they come back to you pretty quickly so in these kind of cases "no news is good news".
Whatever happens Tony, you have my best wishes and I hope that you have the strength to carry on during the difficult times ahead

It's Deja-vu all over again!

Hopefully you'll get the results you're hoping for and 2008 will start with smiles all round.
