Dear Dale,

So glad you are back. You have been in my prayers,you know!!! Well I am sure

by tommorrow instead of 2300 emails to respond to you will have about triple

that to read and respond to. You have been missed and so happy you are

feeling better!!! Take it easy and enjoy your recuperation. Try to eat lots

of fattening things, enjoy and get better. Nichols

Hi Dale:

This is probably 2301 but I just had to say WELCOME BACK MY FRIEND - you

were missed terribly and here's hoping things are only uphill from here.

Give my best to your wife also.

Sincerely

Jo.

(Things just weren't the same without you and I am sure SueMe would

agree.)

Dale,

We all have been waiting on pins and needles waiting to hear from you.

Great to know that you are doing better and are back on the computer.

You have plenty catching up to do and I'm sure we'll be hearing from you

a bunch.

Glad you are home and doing better. Talk to you later.

Hi Folks,

6 weeks ago today I went into the hospital for the pump, 31 days

later I

came home but had many more problems but today I made it to my computer!

I

have not read a message yet and notice I have just shy of 2300 unread

;-))).

You know what? I am looking forward to reading them!

Don't expect a lot from me for a while. I will only be on a few hours

every

so often since I am still very weak and yesterday I started a new PT

program. It's intensive PT 6 hours MWF, I have 2 hours of " real " PT and

the

other 4 hours you can rest or work out. It's great for me, I go for

10-15

minutes, take a break, today my body is sore!

My typing is very slow I see and hopefully that comes back also. I am

pretty well set in a w/c for but will work to get to the walker again.

I

will write up my experience later, man will I be rambling on with that

one!

Good news is I am basically pain free, so other then almost dying,

losing 25

lbs in 4 weeks (who needs the Atkins diet?, I now weigh less then I did

in

high school...), being paralyzed for a few days, the pump was a success

;-)...

This weekend it finally started turning around, I have eaten for 6

straight

days now so am looking and feeling kind of human again! I am hoping

this is

it and I'm on the road to recover.

So hurry up and take the last of your free cheap shots (SueMe) because

in a

couple of weeks I plan to be back full swing! I know watch the email

grow

;-)

Finally, thank all of you for your thoughts, cards, gifts and phone

calls.

I will try to get back to all of you but please bear with. It meant so

much

to me in the hospital, it helped keep me going.

Thank you all for being here!

Do you think, that we think, that you think you need us to keep you

going..think again...you are a man of steel.....Love ya...Connie

[Guest guest]

Jo,

I definitely agree, but it just gave me more time to come up with

stuff to say to him! No really, I have missed you Dale, but that

won't stop me from " giving it to you! " lol ...and I'm sure you will

give it back! LOL

The other day at church an older guy, yes Dale, even older than you,

that I pick on--you didn't think you were the only one did you? LOL

Anyway, they were collecting toilet paper rolls for a summer program

for our church for crafts and they said they had enough and I told

him he must have donated most of them because he is so " full of

crap! " Everyone was laughing and he told me I was bad! Sound

familiar Dale! ;o)

Keep taking care!
