Couldn't care less about our badge or colour

Fri Jun 22, 2012 9:33 pm

Just got in from hospital. Had to take my Mrs in earlier today. She's been diagnosed with something called Guillian-barre syndrome. It is something that can be fatal (It wont be in this case) and can lead to permanent nerve damage. Fingers crossed that she makes a full recovery.

When things like this happen it puts life into perspective and makes things like a kit change and new badge insignificant.

Hope things turn out ok for your mrs.. Your right tho gareth, we all argue about red and the badge and not being told what the club are doing. The reality is its a game, an expensive game. The reality of our lives is what counts. My wife has had 2 major spinal surgeries over the last 5 years, and for most of that shes not been able to do much for herself, shes been in and out of wheelchairs. Shes taken so much pain killers over the years that a drug taker would probably be dead from taking. 5 years of her life, my families life dissapeared in front of our eyes. Doctors do amazing things these days Gareth and with all the luck in the world your wife will make a full recovery.

The argument here is not worth it, we cant stop anything the city do, we can try and make compromises and hope for the best. Yes, the rebrand will fail, and i believe that with the massive fail then the fans will get more say next time. We just got to ride it out! support the players on the pitch.. its them who have to do the hard work and with the fans arguing whos red and whos blue, well the impact on themplayers aint gonna get this team a promotion. Cardiff City is still here, Red or blue. Were cheering for the players wether there wearing Red, Blue or Pyjamas and pink fluffy slippers!!! There still bluebirds in our eyes.

Thanks Waddle. She's half as stubborn and 200 times nicer than me.

She's in best place and 97% of people recover from it.

After a slightly difficult few days I am happy to report the mrs is much better. She has been rediagnosed and has a condition called myasthetic gravis (excuse sp). It is something that she will have forever but is controlled with medication and although complications can occur the future is bright.

Mind you my families mini crisis is nothing compared to what big Gwyn and his are going through. Life is precious and the events of last few days have made me think long and hard about my priorities in life.

Good to hear Gareth, Yes what Gwyn is going through I never ever want to experience, I have chatted to him today and Gwyn is trying to hold himself up, but underneath I dare to think what he is going through.

Cheers Annis. Having seen my 2 younger boys critically ill as babies and my eldest ill with pneumonia earlier this year I can imagine the sheer hell they are going through. I just hope I never go through the tragedy of burying one of my 4 lovely kids. May Becky Davies Rest in Peace.

Chin up mate, you've had it difficult yourself this year and my thoughts are with you and Gwyn. Hopefully catch up with you soon. Stay strong for the kids pal.

I'm fine mate-took out my aggression on some tw*t who pulled out in front of me on way home from hospital. I can't wait for 2012 to end but hopefully I'll have a great holiday next month in jockland and meet you for a beer if possible.
