Thank you all so very much for your thoughts and prayers. They have really helped. I appreciate all the support my friends here at Ironworks have so freely given.

Starting at 11 am today I tried ringing the hospital with no success. I would ring every 5 minutes or so and was getting very frustrated. All I got was busy signals. At 1 pm I had things to do and thankfully got distracted by posting on few threads. All I had wanted to know from the hospital was how was my wife doing and when did they plan to do the next operation. Very frustrating.

At about 1.30 pm I managed to finally get the phone to actually ring. Ok theres an improvement. I asked the nurse how my wife was and when would they be doing the procedure.

The nurse replied "Shes dozing right now and it looks like a success."

You mean theyve already done it??? Yeppers. The nurse said she seems to be ok and everything went well and hopefully she would be able to come home in a few days.

And thank you all for everything youve done. I went to see her and read some of the posts you all left on the thread. She was very touched, touched to know that people from all over the world were hoping for a speedy recovery. I cant thank you all enough. Shes amazed that complete strangers from the other side of the world who exchange messeges with her husband on a discussion board would be so supportive in a time of crisis.

Thank you thank you thank you.

If any of you ever decide to come to Melbourne for a visit let me know. Youve got a place to stay.

It was good to see her and hear her voice. She sounded a little tired but too much so. She wasnt able to lay in any other position but her side and her neck was very very sore. We are now hoping she will be home in two or three days. The doctors want to keep her for a few days just to make sure there are no complications like infection, which is my biggest fear.

I slept about 2 hours last night in all. I tossed and turned and basicly had waking nightmares. Now I think I will actually be able to get some sleep thanks to you kind people in no small way. You were all huge in this.

If there is ever anything I can do for you or help you with do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you.
