How amaziing and wonderful John. Why didn't you save me a seat? Zucherman was here last year with his chamber players including his cellist wife and that was superb but otherwise the best recently has been Anne Soffie von Otter and only in Auckland and Wellington. Maybe Anthony.....?

My wife is coming home tomorrow!!  ;D ;D ;D

She's been in hospital nearly 6 weeks. :(

But she's coming home tomorrow.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

She had her first full chemotherapy dose last Friday, and so far things have gone really well.  No side effects at all.... yet!

But she's coming home tomorrow.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

The next few weeks will of course be interesting, seeing how she reacts to her continuing chemotherapy etc, and how much help she's going to need at home.  Thankfully I still have a fair bit of annual leave at work, although it would have been nice to have used it on a holiday for us.  ::)

Did I mention that she's coming home tomorrow.   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'll stop now, before I get banned for excessive use of smiley faces. ;)

Now THAT'S the kind of thing this thread was instigated for!!!

Give her our combined love and very best wishes, Paul ... and start planning that 'holiday of a lifetime' for next year ... something for you both to look forward to.

Thanks Cliff!!  I'll have to work up some more leave first, so maybe the year after. ;)

The Buttercup has it exactly right, Paul... this is precisely the  kind of great news we love to hear....... it is terrific news that Yvonne is comming home.

Yes, we know there's a long way to go yet, but being at home is so much nicer for all concerned.. and it's so much easier to relax when things are tough  in your own home.
I know there will be lots of folks here wishing that all goes well and sending all fond wishes to  Yvonne and to you... after all, you're an important factor in a great recovery, too.
Lots of love to Yvonne from Ian and I  :-* :-*

Very glad to hear that, Paul :)

And I would do as ranunculus suggests - take a long and well earned holiday. Can't you have some sort of sick pay or whatever you call it in English?

That is certainly great news Paul and you will both be happier with Yvonne in her own home. Let's hope it's the first step to a full recovery. Even if side effects happen, they can be coped with and lived through if the end result is full health again. My love to you both.
