hope she carries on on the mend OK!
re "something slipped in drink" - when this kind of thing happens, that is something that gets suggested a lot but when it gets to brass tacks it's very rarely the real explanation. Eating/drinking something dodgy/far too much is a lot more common. (I know that doesn't actually help matters..)

Laterally I hear a number of arrests have been made with regards to the honeymoon couple that were murdered in Antigua -

My best wishes for her recovery. A truly awful story. Sounds like an especially virulent strain of E-Coli or Salmonella, that has caused some complications. Nasty.

I am at home now. The missus says the nurse is off the critical list.

Jeez, that's awful.
Top tip for blokes is to only drink bottles, and carry them with you that way you can be sure nothing has gone in it.
Obviously its harder for women to do this as they tend to have a drink then go the dance floor and return to the drink.
