I last chatted to you from Belgium! My husband had a stint in hospital in Brussels with kidney stones, but was feeling much better when we left for Paris, spending 1 night there instead of the 2 we had planned - and visiting the Musee d'Orsay where we saw well known originals [like this Van Gogh]: 
Then on our first morning in London, the kidney stones returned with a vengeance and my husband spent the next 3 days in Kingston Hospital! He had a stent inserted to bypass the blockage until we got home. As soon as we did, he went to the Emergency Rooms and was admitted into hospital the next morning. He was finally discharged yeterday - with 1 stone in a bottle and the knowledge that there are another 7 in his kidneys still!

[The Tourism of the Hospitals] - to quote my sister-in-law's French Housekeeper.
It's at time's like these that the love and prayers and friendship of people means so much - and you realise that good health is better than the best sights that you might have seen!

Welcome back!!!!
Here's hoping your hubby soon gets sorted.
I love your outlook on life - so refreshing! Thanks for giving us perspective (-:
Hospital tourism! That has given me a good laugh!
Oh my, I hope your hubby is feeling better!
You do have a great attitude!
Amen! Welcome back, I'm glad you're back and despite the fact that hubby really has been and still is in the wars I have to confess to a little giggle. Your chosen van Gogh being very apt to your holiday description. I do though, wish him a speedy recovery :)
HB, I was also tempted to comment on the picture of the room and bed. I hope the hospital rooms were equally beautiful and tranquil (-:
Welcome back! Sorry to hear you toured so many white corridors recently but here's wishing a speedy recovery to your husband.
Welcome back! I'm glad you both got back safely, and your husband has recovered a bit.
oh dear - just saw all this(i've had a wild summer too:) what a nightmare and a blessed relief to be home safe no doubt!
that sounds scary (and I hope all is now well!) oxoxox
