No word on discharge at this time.
I just read Joe's post from a couple weeks ago. I'd be happy to try and help organize a small get together in st joe as he suggested if we find a time that works for him and we have some interest. Can rent a space at the city golf course that would have cash bar option and could cater in food and play some classic rock tunes for him fairly easily and wouldn't break the bank... [Reply]

I'd give my left nut for a get together.
If Nzoner wants it I'll at least try.
I don't think I've ever had any interaction with him but even words on a screen still count.
My Pa had that shit and is still kicking....you got this [Reply]

I've already told Joe that I'll be there Friday after Thanksgiving. I'm picking up at least one person on the drive up. [Reply]
Been texting Joe this morning. We also post together at a fantasy football message board and have some mutual friends/ acquaintances there. He asked me to share this both places.

I can't even begin to put into words what the last 22 months have been like. Favorite Aunt dying my heart attack and coding twice only to have a 3rd blockage and another stent,Covid and then the wife getting it and dying and now this.
God's Word says in Romans 8:28 "ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM AND ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE."
So the gloves are on again and here we go because I love God and believe His promises. He loves you too brother and just keep in mind these 60-80 years we get here are just a blip compared to eternity so if you haven't already I encourage you to follow Jesus and"fight the good fight."

Joe,
Never met...never even responded to each other.
The journey is a wild ride...the ending is perfect.
I'm not overly religious....but believe what you can and love as much as possible. Everybody says "you got this".
I got up Sunday and made it to church...not sure why.
My dad drove up and we had had the normal conversation. Hes got yours and it sucks. Walked to the front of the church and got on my knees....I don't normally do that. I prayed....and I was asked for you to be happy. Take it is for what it's worth.
My faith and my religion have always been "HayWire"
I've read and reread your posts over and over.
You are a man among boys.
I can't speak and for you....but goddammit you are a good human. [Reply]

All day this. Couldn't have written this any better. :-) [Reply]
All I know is that if there is a man that can beat this, it's you. Well, you and maybe Bwana. Prayers sent for healing and strength. I'm so sorry you are going through this. You've ALWAYS been a good human and that's why we love you.
