Things are still going amazingly well. Yesterday, day 24, Dr. Fisher removed the second half and last of Jim's 59 staples. As if that wasn't good enough, it was followed with, "see you NEXT MONTH." He goes next week for labs again, but unless that shows something or he notices a fever or bp change Dr. Fisher doesn't need to see him again until December 8!
Now if I could just turn his daughter into a stone. :)

This is excellent! I'm so glad to hear of all this good news for you and Jim...Ian also sends his best :)
As for the daughter into stone thing...well, I have a stepsister that I'm hoping the same thing for so if I devise a plan you'll be the very first to know!!
Hugs and prayers to you,

Why stone? Could it not be something useful??

"Something useful" now that's a concept. She is the most ungreatful, unuseful, selfish you-know-what on the face of the earth! A stone -- so I can throw it away, kick it into kingdom-come! I came home from work tonight to find her van parked across my driveway, running. My neighbor's driveway and mine run side-by-side so I drove into hers and into mine. When I came into MY OWN HOME, I said "Hi, How Are You?" and the response, "Ok, dad, I love you, bye." Now she is a bitch, no doubt about it, but his lack of care that she is disrespecting me in my own home, that is another story altogether.

Oh my gosh what great news for you and Jim! You are a tough cookie. Whatever discussion/decision you have/make regarding the daughter will be the right one. You deserve that much!

That is wonderful about Jim..Now the disrespect in my own house..NOT!!!! only you can put a stop to that!.Grab her arm and say this is my house and you will respect me in it or don't come over..

I'm really happy that Jim is doing much better, and I can only hope that you and your daughter can reconcile soon enough!
You know a lot of the kids these days have become desensitized by all of the exposure to such a gamut of emotions they perceive as not being real, or with the "all I need to do is to hit the reset button" mentality they have been so used to doing, and reacting to - from playing so many of these mind numbing games they send so much time on these days, thus learning only to well how to bottle up their emotions and act oblivious to anything that equates to something so serious as what has occurred with you and your husband... This too shall pass!!! One day, it will hit her square in the face as well as in her gut ,and she'll have to deal with it if she can at all, so then that's when you need to be there for her and to let her know that it's okay to feel what she does!!! In the mean time take away all of her privileges, and give her a taste of her own attitude so she can understand that her behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated especially when her father is too weak to discipline her right now. Tell her that you are speaking for her dad and she needs to shape up or else!!! Then be there for her when she realizes just how much of a jerk she's been towards both you and her Dad!!! But do no let her get away with her BS - CAPECHE??? TOUGH LOVE ALWAYS WORKS WHEN YOU USE IT THE RIGHT WAY!!!
Respectfully,

Thanks for the support everyone.
Just to clarify, Henry, Jim and I are not married and she is not my daughter. She will be 21 in March and lives with him (or shall I say at his house since he has moved in temporarily with me while he recuperates).
I told Jim this morning that I have a new Rule at my house, starting today. I will never keep her from him and I will never forbid her to come to my house to see him BUT, and here is the Rule -- she is NOT allowed to be there when I am. Therefore, she can come during the day as long as she is gone by 5:00 when I get off. If I will be getting home earlier I will do him the courtesy of calling to let him know so he can send her packing before I get there. And, if he wants to see her or she him on the weekend, she is welcome to pick him up AT THE CURB. If I am home she is not to be on my property, PERIOD, END of STORY. His response: I understand.

Love it. We are having problems with my daughter now too. She is cruel to Steve and has moved out. She is 18 but still in high school and I feel guilty and I also give in to her too much. Stay strong.
