Tim,
That is so wonderful to hear Vicki was home for the holiday!  You both are still in our thoughts and prayers.

We were pleased to see on national TV in Australia this morning that Vicki had been released from hospital and allowed to go home to continue her recovery. Great news indeed! You are all still in our thoughts and prayers.

Best wishes

  not a day goes by that we don't think about you-----

Noticed it's been a couple of days since anyone has posted so didn't want Tim or Vikki to feel like; Ok, that's over so let's move on.....!  I'm sure many of us are still concerned for Vikki as her recovery continues.  And Tim, we hope you are taking care of yourself so you can continue to be strong for Vikki.  Don't let yourself get run down as we head into cold and flu season. 
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you both

Nah, not to worry, I'm sure Tim and Vicki know that our thoughts are pretty much always with them. I for one, am anxious for Vicki to have made a full recovery and back in the saddle (or maybe at the tiller!).

For some selfish reasons, I look forward to the SML-CPR whenever that happens.

P.S. As I write this, CNN is airing Vicki's FOX's interview.

Don't know why I'm so late to this post (well, yeah I do, been on the road a month), but thoughts are with you and prayers for continued, full recovery.

Well Ls&Gs,

I'm happy to report that the Admiral is on the mend and issuing orders on the bells as one would expect of one with 40 years at the helm.

She is still on light duty, having good days and some not so good, but every day I get to remind her I'm  not in charge,but in control of the relative bearing, I  count as  a great day.

Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers,

TG

Great to hear the recovery continues!!  Life can change quickly....too quickly at times. Happy that the "voyage" continues.  I'm sure it's been a life changer for both of you. While the thoughts and prayers have rightfully been directed toward Vicki....I'm sure it's been one @&;& of an emotional roller coaster for you Tim. Honestly couldn't imagine. Hope you are holding up as well. Fair winds to both of you!!!

Well Ls &  Gs,
The Admiral and I returned home from the Carilion Clinic  today sans any obtrusive tubes into the Admirals abdomen. Yay.

Her abdomen wound has healed sufficiently enough to require no more wet dressings.  

I'm no longer required to be the sick bay corpsman to change dressings. In three weeks, we return to the hospital to discuss the reversal of her ostomy. Sooner rather then later if we're going to be able to attend the midwinter gathering.

Thanks for all of your personal prayers and well wishes.

More when I am not celebrating as much. Dark and Stormy hiccups!

Tim,

Although we've never met, I want you to know that my prayers are for the "Admiral's" full recovery.
