Pretty sad story there Wade... man does that suck. But yeah, I'm thinking lawyer too. I'm wondering if there is a stigma attached to that getting a needle stick and she suddenly became UNDESIRABLE. Can't have a potential risk on staff you know... she is a threat!! So it is plausible that the sent-a-card thing is a cover up for the real reason. I don't know... just thinking.
My thoughts are with you and your wife. Sound like you are BOTH troopers though... keep up the good fight! Best to ya on this one!!!
