Fortunately for you, I don't wear colours. 
 
That's the closest thing I found.

Oh Lord Please no , not the coroner outfit , you wife is trying to recover   
 
Anyway , You get a pass for Halloween 
 
on a serious note , 
 
Rain ,
I wish you and your wife well and I hope you guys have a love filled speedy recovery .
 
I hope I'm not inflicting my views upon you with what I'm about to say …if so please disregard …
 
5 years ago I had a very bad cycling accident and the surgery involved replacing most of my left arm from a few inches above the elbow to the shoulder with titanium .At the time it was an emergency surgery ….
I will spare you all the details..
The gist of what happened was it put the brakes on my life physically and gave me the opportunity to do a little soul searching …looking back on it , as a result of having that experience I was able to free myself in a way from certain things that had kept me feeling stuck in my life ….if I had to do it all over again I would .
 
I know you like Bruce Lee since I saw a pic of yours on FB where you had one of his books on the shelf …
Back in the day Bruce had broken his back and he was stuck for like 8 months on a full body traction contraption the whole time …
During that time Bruce wrote The Tao of Jeet Kune Do  by dictating it to his wife ….
FWIW, this book has been one of my all time favorite reads 
 
all the best ,

With her sense of humour, she'd actually dig the coroner outfit. ;)
 
Not inflicting at all! Thanks for sharing, actually.
 
We're rather positive about the whole thing. Obviously, the first weeks are a bit more demanding since I need to help her out for almost everything. But we also get to do things together - for exemple, I can do my cardio workout while she's on the stationary bike. We can do the physic while watching Star Trek and all.
 
And then when she's free to move around, we can start working on music, which I'm really looking forward to.
 
The toughest part was probably to get out of bed at 6 yesterday after a mere 2 hours of sleep and then spend 6 hours waiting. So, no big deal. really. :)
 
You remember right about Bruce Lee. He's always been one of my biggest inspiration, and an inspiration in practically every domain - even my attitude towards music has been shaped in part by his teachings. And I do keep his books at hand, always. (The 2 I own are some of the very few books I brought w/ me when we moved to the US.)
 
Actually, they sit on the top shelf with the music reference books and biographies. And an occasional cat.

I like the colorful picture better.  More color, less black please. 




There are but two colours - black and red, as unequivocally demonstrated by the aforementioned lovely lady. ;)
 

 
(This has got to be the most interesting use I've found for my little Fender practice amp).

Wow Krist,
Knowing what she does I really hope she heals both well and fast. You take good care of her.
I quoted because my kitty looks almost just like the one on the books. She is a tuxedo Manx. Boots in the back, slippers in the front and a REAL sweetie!

That's the reason she's off for six months. Working with the harness is out of the question - that's how she injured herself, actually.
 
I'm confident that things will be fine. We had a physiotherapist dispatched by Cirque this pm, and he was very pleased with the way things looked. Cirque usually hire the best of the best and according to our physio, the guy who operated on her is the second best in his speciality, having studied under THE highest rated specialist. I was actually surprised to see how tiny the scars were...

The Foam Boot sounds like a great name for a metal band. Hopes she mends perfectly. I have an idea which might speed her recovery...why not surround her with cats? Just a suggestion.

Cirque is nothing if not professional. It shows. They seem to be and do the very best.

Hope she heals up quickly and thoroughly. She's lucky to have a good guy like you to take care of her.
 
Speaking as someone who's been on both sides of the "nurse" equation with people close to me, know (as I'm sure you already do) that there can be a lot of frustration for the patient and the caregiver that manifests itself in some unfortunate outbursts and resentment... especially for people who are so close to each other but used to also being independent as you guys seem to be.
 
Patience and understanding is definitely in order and make sure to take care of yourself (mentally and physically) as well. I'm sure you guys will do fine and any momentary frustration will be minor and quickly forgiven/forgotten.
 
Best to you both.

Excellent use of red as an accent color.  I like that you have found a multipurpose for Little Red Fender.
