They updated us on her newest CT. She's still got some slight brain hemorrhaging but there are no damaged blood vessels in her neck. They gave her a pretty sizable dose of dilaudid so she'll probably be out for a while.

glad to hear it is in the upswing. Best of luck.

I was thinking more "Cleveland is a pain in the ass."

If there's one good thing to come out of this thread (besides the super awesome and generous ecard from Devo and contributors), I hope it's for you guys who've read through it to really take a second and be thankful for the health of your loved ones. Give them a hug just because. Tell them how much they mean to you. To say "life can change in the blink of an eye" is cliche, and though it might be true I think it's less important to worry about the what ifs than to treasure what you have at the present (I know I may be hypocritical considering the guilt I feel, but who wouldn't feel this way in the same situation? Everyone wishes it happened differently). You'll never reach the end of your life and think, "man, I wished I hugged her one less time," or "I shouldn't have told her I loved her that night under the stars."

I just read through the thread and this is what I was thinking before I read your post. I'm going to shower my girlfriend in affection tomorrow with this in mind. You two are in my thoughts but I'm so glad to hear that she's improving so quickly. Having read it from start to finish like this really makes her recovery seem even more impressive.

Kudos to you, Crunched. You seem like an amazing partner for her. I wish you two all the happiness in the world for you life together.
 
Please add me to the letter, Devo.

I'm glad she's doing better, Crunched, and I wish her nothing but the best. I have no doubts she'll be back to her old self in no time. :)
 
Hope everything keeps coming along smoothly. Will take your advice Crunched.

Add me Devo! Just use my username. Thanks...let us see the final product!
 
Hey man, hope it all works out for you and your girl.

I know how you feel too. My wife had some trouble a year or so ago, would pass out if she exerted herself too much. Was from her breast milk clogging up and causing heart palpitations. I was back in Oz with her and my son to visit my family last summer and she totally zombied out at my mum's house. I felt just like you described in your first post, completely hopeless. Mortality felt all too real in those moments.
 
I have been following this thread during the weekend and I'm happy to read that your fiancé is recovering. I'll bet she'll be on her feet in no time driving you mad, hopefully with love and not nagging :p

Anyway I'm wishing you the best of luck, both regarding this ordeal and life in general.

Devo: Please add me to the card as well, any font and colour will do. Just make it snazzy and classy. On second thought I would like my name in purple.

I see where you are coming with this, personally I've always been a really laid back chilled kind of person without any real worries in my life. I remember then when I first heard that my mum had breast cancer, boy it certainly rocked my world and was one hell of a reality check. I'm a lot more thankful for what I have in my life these days but sometimes you can't tell these things to other people, sometimes something has to happen that has a affect on them before they really understand.
To anyone wondering, my mum thankfully beat the cancer though it came at the price of a removal of the breast but we are all really grateful.

All the very best Crunched, keep us updated.

Devo: Please add my name to the e-card, no style in particular but a shade of light/baby blue would be nice, thank you.
 
You're welcome to add me to the list. Sadly I don't have my tablet here and my mouse-writing is kind of crap.

If you wouldn't mind just picking a decent font, I'd be incredibly happy with that :)
 
I got t to admit since I read the OP I was very scared but at least the last two pages made me more hopeful that she will pull through, and looks like she has! Devo, please add me to the E-card, in black and red if possible? or just red if you can only do one color.
 
Really glad to hear things are starting to swing towards better.
Just got to stand strong.. I can imagine, none of this feels good for either one of you.

I had something similar happen to me two years ago with my girlfriend at the time.
Not quite as serious, but she was the victim of a hit and run, while getting the mail.
Had amnesia and was in the hospital for 3 weeks.. visited her everyday to take care of her during it all, when she could barely remember me at the time.

Just be there for her Crunched. I know it can seem really scary and obtuse, but it's the best possible thing you could ever do.

Reading all of this brought tears to my eyes for a few different reasons.
I wish the best for the both of you, and everyone else in your lives.
 
It's natural to feel protective and you feel that it's your responsibility. But sometimes things are just out of your hand. You can't beat yourself up over things which are beyond your control.

I hope for the best for both of you.
 
Wow I read this thread when the OP had just made it and this is the first time I've returned. I am so happy to hear that she's doing better. I wish you both the very best.
 
Add me to the card! I haven't posted in here but I've been checking the latest updates every time I've gotten on GAF since this thread was made. I can't imagine how sick with worry I'd be if something like that happened to my girlfriend. I am so thrilled to hear things are breaking her way, that is simply wonderful.

Stay strong my man, I wish you guys nothing but the best!
 
@_@ Sorry I haven't gotten myself to say anything in the thread, but I'm really glad that she's doing better. I hope the rest of the recovery goes just as well.
Was hoping to find my tablet pen to sign myself but it really looks like it's gone =_= So just add me to the card if you can Devo ;0
 
I knew hanging around here long enough, there would be a horrifying post like this sooner or later. Ugh. I don't know why it feels a little more personal/close. I mean not many of us know each other around here.

All the best, hope for a full recovery.
 
My thoughts are with you both in this situation.

And to the person that wrote about the stairs... did you not think before writing that?
 
I just sat and read through all of this. I can't even imagine what this has been like for you. I'm glad to hear things are looking much better than they initially were. Stay well, mate.
 
Been following this thread from the beginning, but kinda didn't know what to say.. I hate stuff like that, makes me feel helpless like a little child...


But Devo, please add me to the card, any lettering will do. Thanks!
 
Add me as well! maybe in orange or something. I followed this thread from the beginning and didn't really know what to say. Really brought a tear to my eye! But seeing how things developed is such a relief!

Edit...LazyLoki, we wrote pretty much the same in the space of one minute. Are you in my mind?? :O
 
That's one scary OP, but I'm glad her condition appears to be on the upswing and sincerely hope this continues to be the case.

Feel free to add my name to the card. Any typeface/colour will do.
 
I can't find confirmation of my PM having been sent so just in case, add me to the e-card in whatever shade of green

Great minds, yadda yadda.

And some much needed comical relief ;)

Please add me! Thebaroness in purple-ish? Thanks for taking the time to make the card! Such a nice gesture.

Crunched, I've been following this thread and I'm so glad to hear she's doing better. It sounded so scary when you first posted the thread. Hope she gets well soon, you two are adorable together. I wish I could do something for your upcoming wedding.

I'll probably do it for the next couple of days, more names the better =).

Mind sharing what the card looks like now? Really curious to see all the effort you're putting in to it.
