I don't think I ever told you that my wife had a stroke. At the age of 34. Just fucking out of the blue. Listen, if she can come back from it and have just wee bits of weirdness on her left side but is back to coding, full on, you can do the same. Ya know why? Because you are both a couple of hardcore, spicey bitches and that's what I love about both of you. Tell hubs to start talking parenthetically so we know it's him and blaze on my friend. Blaze on. You be a'ight. Reach out if you just wanna dish. Love to you, et al... <3 <3 <3

Actually, this dictation sounds a lot like you, Spicy, so, well-done both of you. I’m so glad you both have a solid support and care system. I’ll feel better knowing you’re taking all the care of yourself that your care team advises. Until you’re back into 100% Spicy Shape, we shall be the Spicy we want to see in our world.

Well fuck. That stroke really don't know what it threw itself against, do it? I can only imagine how pissed off you are by this turn of events. Good. Let that anger & frustration give you the fuel you need to get you to the other side of this unexpected turn of events. As a caretaker myself, I have to make a plug for your Hubs. Do your best not to lose patience with him even though I know the temptation will be high. After all, you are a strong, intelligent, independent woman. This deviation from the norm will be tough to take for both of you. Hubs? I'm assuming you'll be reading this. Make sure to take care of yourself, ask for help & take breaks so you don't burnout. You'll be no help to Spicy, your kids or yourself if you fry all your own circuits. I wish you both the very best of luck in navigating this situation. Take care of yourselves & each other. Spicy, I will patiently await the day when you're back on here dishing the snark as only you can! Hubs? Please keep us posted as you're able about how Spicy is fairing. Your girl is very important to her fans!

You are a force to be reckoned with. You are so strong.

Was shocked, dismayed, worried, whatever when I read this but after following you for too many years (I was young then, now I'm what some want to call a senior old person. Fuck them) ,I know you will prevail.

All the good karma that I'm allowed to send is being sent to you.

Kick this strokes arse.

Dear Filey, I'm so sorry to hear you've had a stroke. Glad you have good support and are taking time to recuperate and get the kinds of medical care and physical therapy you need. Understand how frustrating it must be, but please take whatever time you need to take care of yourself, and to now worry too much about what you cannot do or get to. Here for you and am praying for your complete recovery. You can do this. Love, C

Filey, obviously the snark, sass, and spice were left completely in tact, for which we are all grateful. Lean into your support system and indulge in all of the care you are due for being the mom, wife, and generous truth-teller extraordinaire that you are. Keep Mr. Filey on his toes and we will be here for you through it all because despite not knowing you personally, we love ya, sister! Well wishes from an appreciative Filey fan.
