German wife still foggy

[PortlandDad]

jag: I agree about the honeymoon idea. I have mused to my MIL over the last few months that W and I should do something like that when/if we get things pieced together. It's still on my radar screen.

mlb: I wasn't so much disappointed with the whole new ST timeline as I was with the nature of the resolution of the main conflict in the movie. A few things just didn't add up and I felt there were more than a few plot holes. Still, it was a good, action-packed ride... just was hoping for a bit more internal consistency and believability.

Wolverine, OTOH: Awesome! No two-ways about it. Good back-story, action, and familiar characters. Perhaps a tad bit predictable, but that is just picking nits.

Anyhoo, journal time and breaking news.

Tried calling the W today multiple times; no answer. Tried calling MIL, also no answer. Left voice mail, sent texts, nada. Well, so much for a nice Mother's Day greeting and chance for W to talk to the kids, I thought. Then about 4pm, MIL calls: W is in the hospital. All day yesterday she had stomach pains and then today she started getting horrible cramps and swelling under her arm. She was so stubborn that she ignored MILs advice to go to hospital; instead went back to her apartment and layed done. Woke up about an hour later unable to get up and had to call an ambulance.

After admittance the doctors determined that she has a severe colon infection, but they aren't sure what kind. They are giving her intravenous antibiotics and purging her. She isn't allowed to have a cell-phone, so she has only called once from her room. I am waiting for her to get back to her room so I can talk to her again.

This is the absolute worst. I'm contemplating taking a flight tomorrow or Tuesday to Frankfurt to see her, but I don't know what the heck is going on. My S17 could watch my two younger ones for a week, but I don't know what good it would do for me to be at her bedside. If I thought that she would want me there, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Damnit! She sounds so pathetic and helpless and in pain on the phone. She is alone and scared in the hospital right now: the woman I vowed to love and cherish, in sickness, and I can't help her!

Ugh.
