    So glad you are home, Edbear!
    I am sure you will get wonderful care from your wife...'tis the love that makes all the difference!

    Remember that you are still recuperating...these things take time, so no rushing it, you hear!

    Right then, I'll just pack my leather pants, latex gloves, bubble bath, toilet brush, 2kg roll of black pudding and a feather duster and I will be there in an hour.

    By the way, do you prefer dark or white chocolate? Your choice depends on what colour stockings I wear.

    Shall I ring when I get there or just creep around the back door?

    Oh, or do you mean getting up and about...?

    you have made it home........ I am sure you will enjoy the pampering, and you have already made it worthwhile for your wife, as you have [as you have said] beaten it 5 times already. Go Edbear!

    I admit to being a wee bit apprehensive about leaving hospital, I felt safe there with all the care and attention I was getting, but I wanted to be home and felt better the closer we got to our place.

    I was shaken up more than I care to admit by the accident, not just for me but for the real fright I gave my family and friends. A good friend called around yesterday, (rides a nicely modified GSX1400), and told me that when he and his wife came to the hospital my wife broke down as I had just been rushed to ICU with lung failure. I feel bad for what I've put my family through, even knowing it was a genuine accident that I couldn't do anyting about and no-one blames me in any way.

    My son said he was very glad he'd come home from Aus a couple of weeks before because he didn't know how he'd have coped being so far away.

    I do treasure my family, my wife and I look forward to our 33rd Anniversay this coming Oct. and I just turned 52 on Thursday, (yep we were that young when we got married...) She's my best friend and my life.

    Once again, I want to express my appreciation to all of you for your support and kind words, it does make a difference and means a lot to both if us!

    That brought tears to my eyes. Family is a very special thing alright, and to know you have the right person by your side is even more so. Life hurls us lots of trials, and don't go blaming yourself Ed, you're still with us all

    I hope you are doing okay, I just read what you said about your family and wife - what a lovely thing to read. It is very hard to watch your man in pain after a bike crash (especially if you have to cry in private because you promised you wouldn't cry)

    My missus laughed at me when I was in hospital after my bin. Her only concern was th $8 tupperware dish that I had under the seat containing my lunch........love never dies, eh....

    Lovely words Ed, very moving mate. You can see they have touched a few people and rightly so.

    Now, I dont seem to have an answer to my 'chocolate' question so I'll pack both pairs of stockings and throw in an additional rubber duck.

    What number are you again?

    Ed, that is a very inspiring thing to read, and makes me believe that true love and happiness does exist. That gives me (and I'm sure a lot of the other ladies reading this) so much hope that that person for each of us can be found. Might be worth the wait from what I'm hearing

    Happy Birthday for last Thursday. I guess going home on Friday would have been a wonderful way to celebrate it. And a happy anniversary to you both in advance. To hear how you speak of your wife Ed really is just magic, and gives me warm fuzzies! Looking forward to meeting her someday soon! (oh, and you, hehe!)

    Yeah, they've all just gone to the movies and left me babysitting the dogs! LOL!!! Man it's quiet!

    Fortunately no-one promised they wouldn't cry and I know there was a bit of that when I was in ICU. I was so out of it and hallucinating I was cracking them up with my nonsensical ravings as well, so they were torn between anxiety and hilarity!

    Never take your loved ones for granted you can lose them so easily. Having foiled death five times now, I'd like to retire while I'm ahead, I think I've had a go at most ways of kicking the bucket and my family needs a break from ambulances and hospitals and those phone calls...

    After 16 days in hospital, looking at her last night gave me "warm fuzzies" too... Damn broken backs...!

    I have to say that our marriage hasn't always been bliss, as with all relationships there are ups and downs and a lot of giving and forgiving, but if you're committed to each other and remember why you got married and work hard on yourself, marriage can be the greatest thing ever. Besides, we're too old and tired to start again, the thought of having to train up another woman...

    Make sure you know what you want in a mate and don't settle for second best just because you may think you'll miss the boat. And don't ignore warning signs that he may not be all he appears to be while he's trying to impress you. I sound like a Grandpa!

    Took me until I was 35 to find my man and then I had to convince him that he wasn't too old for me (he is 9 years older)

    I think I told him to get over it and not to be a dick.

    I didn't give him a chance to get away...... I knew the first time I saw him that this was going to be something really major.
    I knew the second day that i would marry him, and I have never wanted to marry any one before.
    He was the first guy I had met that was hot and a great guy - never found any one before that was both combined.
    Poor buggar never stood a chance.........
