according to Terri's brother on Fox last night, Michael had his first girlfriends as early as a year and a half after Terri's collapse.
Correct. He had a year-long relationship with a woman starting 18 months after Terri's collapse. He was seeing her during the malpractice suit when he professed his dying love for Terri and desire to have her come home and live with him, if only he had the money for her care. Meanwhile he was planning to move in with this other woman.
There's a deposition out there from this woman (she had to be subpoenaed because she was fearful of Michael, which she discusses in the depo). I think her name is Cindy Shook.
