Cervical (C)2 - second from the top. Same bone Christopher Reeve broke but Vanessa was lucky enough not to also damage her spinal cord.

can vorb send her a 'get well soon' card :eh:

I'd sign it :)


In a spirit of doing something positive:

I will buy the card, get it signed by Chch people, and send it to wherever (wellington?) for someone else to coordinate getting signed, then it can be sent where vorbers are, and eventually passed to Vanessa.

If anyone thinks its a good idea. Natral might volunteer for seeing ppl to get it signed up there if we twist her arm.

Anybody think its a plan?
One per region? then she gets LOTS of vorb get well cards :)

Send to a nice vobii in her region, who takes them to her on a pre determined date?

I'd volunteer to do Northland :)


I'd like to sign a card for her :)
