Still keeping 'em crossed here, mate. Makes typing these replies a bit of a challenge but hey.
My own parents are in their sixties now and in excellent shape but for years now the thought of being woken up by 'that' call has often left me in a cold sweat.
About twenty years ago, we nearly lost my Mum to a brain haemorrhage (sub-arachnoid). I can still remember, if I choose (I never choose), her anguished screams before she was wheeled away, unconscious, by the paramedics. A couple of emergency surgeries and several agonising weeks followed before a shadow of my Mum was allowed to come home. She went on to make a perfect recovery. We can never thank the medical teams enough. Whatever they're paid, it's nowhere near enough.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
