Something needs to be done about John (RvUsa)

[Millermouseketeers]

Lots of prayers for you.

 

[RvUsa]

Thanks everyone! I feel better just reading all the good thoughts! I haven't even told my Dad or Aunts yet, I know my Dad is gonna spaz! LOL

I am just.... a mess right now, I am scared, I am mad, and I am definitely feeling sorry for myself. And you guys made me feel a lot better today.

I have never met any of you, but I feel closer to most of you than to anyone else besides my immediate family! I love you guys!

Thank you very much!

Oh my, John. I just got home and read the news. You're right - it does sound scary. I'll be thinking of and praying for you and Erica and Matt. I agree, though, with everyone else that has posted. You are a fighter and you are stronger than this and have MUCH to live for. You will come through it just fine because we are all praying for you and because we said so and that's that!

I'm sorry for more trouble coming your way. Someone is always telling me "good things happen to good people". So I want good things only for you, cause you are good people. You are like family to us, you know the kind of family you pick not get stuck with.

I guess the idea of WLS may have saved your life, so someone is looking out for you, I believe he will see you through this.

John, I am keepin you in my thoughts (good ones!)!! Got my fingers crossed for you too and my toes and my eyes and my... well you get the idea!
I really s.. uh I ain't any good at this stuff so, just think happy thoughts!!

 

[LONE-STAR]

Glad you got your laptop back so you will be posting more. But I am so sorry about the news you got I can't even imagine where my head would be if I got that kind of news. I sure hope everything works out for you. I liked it better when your big complaint was your truck. Again hope it all goes well.

John, I am so sorry to hear this. I'm sure it is very scary. I don't have the ability to come up with the whitty and poetic responses, believe me I wish I could to make you laugh. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I like to think that you are dealt the hand you get for certain reasons. You may never know why, but it somehow leads to new and better things. Stay strong, and be honest with your feelings, trust me Erica is your rock now, trust her. Wives are capable of AMAZING things when we need to be. Take care John, and do everything they tell you too, you aren't getting out of meeting the Pecoy clan someday!

If Pete were here, he would decide that John's not allowed to have health problems and send the troubles away!

I was going to post that Lou Gehrig would have played, now get off the bench and get in the game John!

Seriously, I hope everything turns out awesome for you, keep your chin up, there are people that care about you here. I of course am not one of them, because i"m not much into virtual surgeries.

Prayers and pixie dust to you John and your family as well. Be strong!

John, I think this is the closest Pete has ever come to using the . This is a positive omen!

I'm new to the DISboards and really don't know a lot of people (yet), however for some reason this FW group seems like a family and a tight group that I'm looking forward to getting to know better and be a part of. You will be in my families thoughts and prayers and we will add you to our prayer book at church.

Thanks guys, I read this and got a smile, and tear and a laugh! I need more of 2 of them and less of one!

My head is just so messed up right now, I slept for about and hr and a half last night, just couldn't stop thinking about stupid stuff.

Hopefully today will be better.

Thanks you guys, you really are the best.

Oh, and Pete, thanks for not caring, if you said something all mushy and gushy, I would know I was a dead man!

John....FWIW - Barbara Bush at age 83 just had successful aortic valve replacement! A 78 y/o man at our church just had the same surgery on 3/5 and he's doing great!

If you can get your Dr. to agree to refer you to a cardio surgeon here in Lakeland....you can recouperate at FtW!!! We have a terrific heart center here in Lakeland & a great one in Tampa. Take your pick and come on down!!

If I had said all mush and gush, i'm sure a meteor would have hit me in the head.

Talk about stupid stuff:

You know, John, I sometimes marvel at the world we live in today - the wonderful diagnostic tools we have available to allow docs to discover problems that, even 20 years ago, were often fatal and undectectable. I know when you are a patient, it doesn't help much to hear how frequently done and successful these operations are today, but it's true. You are fortuneate to live in an area with some top notch medical care available to you. Of course you know what a vast and genuinely caring support group you have here. I wish you the best, from the bottom of my heart, my friend. I look forward to meeting you at the Fort sometime in the near future. So comply, heal and do what you have to do. Drive on!

Hey even if you can't get the Doc down there... if you word it right to the insurance company, maybe you can manage to get them to pay for your recovery at the fort!! You know relaxing no stress, blah blah blah... Cant hurt to try right!!
Oh and one more thing for you to remember.... I have this as my banner on my phone and use it at work. "I will Survive". Say it over and over to yourself and make yourself believe that. You have to keep the proper mind set with things so your body and brain know to keep fighting through it all!
And don't make me drive west!!! Oh and I can find you!!

Man, the things I miss when I'm away from the boards for a couple of days.

Al, that was a good dose of needed stupid stuff. Thanks!

John, add me to the list of prayers headed your way. I've never imagined a group of friends that I care about this much, without ever meeting them in person. You've been a hell of a bright light the past few months. I'm not afraid to get mushy, but I'd rather see you smiling than crying right now, so I'll keep it stupid. Here's to the chance to meet you this summer somehow, somewhere. Keep your chin up, and don't be afraid to vent on us whenever it's needed!

 

[CampingChristy]

John - You are an amazing friend! Many are praying for your safe recovery. Including myself! I understand being scared, but you are on the right track for support. First the Lord and then DIS Friends!!! Take Care!!
