She's talking!

Chukka was extubated a couple of days ago (this means they took the tube for the heart/lung machine out of her windpipe) and is now able to talk. Overall, she's doing quite well medically. She still has a fever.

She knows about her legs. I can't imagine... Please put a short comment and your name -- perhaps I can print the comments out and snail mail them to my mother in her hotel. All we can do for now is send her our support and love.

You can also still send her cards -- eventually she will move out of ICU into another ward, and she can see them then. I think they will matter to her.

Chukka, every day I see dozens and dozens of voices on all the boards and lists talking about how much your strength and perspective has always inspired them, amused them, made them think...if good wishes were fishes you'd be drowning in an ocean right now. Here are mine.

We are pulling for you and holding you in our hearts. -AG

This really sucks that this happened to my favorite online fishy. There is a handful of people that I used to come to the eplaya to see, and you were definitely in the top of the list. You know me, I'm not very good at this stuff- I'm about as sympathetic as a dead rat. But this should not have happened to you. I'm so very sorry to hear this. My sole consolation is the fact that a wide eyed fishy got to take in some incredible places prior to this happening. Be well and come back. I would gladly return to the eplaya if I knew you were going to be there.

PS. I have a bottle of Le Fee Verte Velue should you have want of it. With designer label.
