Hi everyone.

Just a small update for my friends here on Gaia. Johnny is still in intensive care, having a bit of a bumpy trip recovering. However, we are over the bad part and he is going to be ok.

I wanted to thank everyone for their support through this time. I don't have a blog anywhere, or a journal on myspace. This is my home away from home and has been for some time, so this is where I am putting it.

This has been a pretty hard time for me. I have been terrified, elated, in pain, scared, confused, happy, relieved, hopeful, and most of all utterly exhausted. But we are far from done here. If the surgery had been elective this probably would have gone a lot easier, but it was urgent so I have to get used to expecting to have some bad days and then some good days. Through it all I have received a lot of support from my own family who began packing their things the moment they put their phone down (I got to be their little girl again), from johnny's sister who is like my own blood, his own family - far away as they are, and even his employers, who have even visited the hospital twice (in packs) and went far out of their way and used all of their means to help us, unasked for - good people. There are some left in California.

I don't want to forget the doctors and the nurses who saved my husband's life and continue to help him get better. I couldn't begin to list the names of all of the ones I feel a deep debt to, because there are so many. I don't know how they do their jobs and keep going, truly amazing people.

Anyway, please continue to keep Johnny in your prayers, your meditations, your good luck charms, any gods, faiths and styles welcome smile Of course - Ha!

Love you all
Kim
