Sorry to hear about your girlfriend Zen. It just goes to show if it isn't one thing it is another. Fortunately we, and when I say we I mean you, are beyond needing a drink to cope with these events that life throws at us. Take good care of her and she will reward you for it when she is all better.
No warranty on my frying pan. It is 10+ years old. I hate replacing things. I am very,very, very, frugal. My wife and kids call me cheap but what do they know. I find wearing 3 sweaters in the winter quite comfy.
