Surgery in the morning ...

Probie (Scooter57) · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 20:18:02

I'm surprised somebody didn't beat me to it

So anyway here it is...

C'MON
You know it had to happen sooner or later and I just couldn't stand it any longer.

Hey Joe I was gonna try to make it up to see you on Monday but I gotta get a tooth fixed so I'll look pretty for my daughter's wedding. I'll make it up that way as soon as I can Brother.

FLAVALK · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 20:19:35

You're gonna be fine. Hang in there and you will be back in the wind before a cat can lick his ass.

Flask · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 20:40:35

Rick & Kristie here sending prayers for you Joe !!!!!

You will be riding in the wind again sooner than you think. I just wish we could be there with you sharing the wind on those beautiful roads just outside your back door !

TOPGUN351 · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 20:52:58

Joe prayers from Topgun and High Maintenance. We will be waiting for you at the next turn like you have always done for us!!!!!

VMODON · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 20:55:40

Hang in there Joe, Prayers to you and yours... Don

Michael K (Az.) · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 20:56:29

In my thoughts buddy. Hang in!

Scott in Ok · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 20:57:29

Hang in there Joe! Better days are ahead my friend, much better days.

With prayers in Oklahoma,

-Scott

Gear Jammer · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 20:59:49

You got it Joe. And besides, I hear you're too ornery to stay down for too long. Tell the doc while he's in there to check out your internal bank angle sensor. At the acute angles your body assumes at times, it may well be worn out by now ! Get better soon. As for quiting smoking,,,,, do it for Presley ! Now there's some incentive for ya!

motomama · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 21:16:09

Joe,

You are definitely in my prayers, as well as your family and all medical personel involved. I will continue to pray for you as long as necessary. Bandit from NM is on the road right now and asked me to let you know that he and the folks that are traveling with him are lifting you up in prayer, as well.

Take care, my friend. Heal up and know that you have my prayers and support. May God grant you peace, comfort and strength during this time.

I am praying for Cindy and the rest of the family too. I know how much of a toll it can take on the spouse and family when a loved one is in the hospital and hurting. It can be very traumatic for them as well and they need the prayers and support and comfort from others too. Please let Cindy know that she is being prayed for too.

Oss · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 21:25:01

Ok Joe, now is the time for you to relax, put your faith in the Lord and the doctors and let the healing begin

ribs and lungs can definitely hurt like a sumbich as many here know from experience anything that gives you pain while breathing can mess with your head if you let it

Dont let the pain affect your mental attitude, you will get thru this as surely as you guide a giant truck thru the hellbender in the fog and ice Just see yourself riding your favorite road in your mind as they put you under

See ya at the Blue Grey ride buddy

.. · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 21:25:16

Anyone know which hospital?

Goody · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 21:26:44

Taking some time to talk to the man upstairs for you.
Those tubes are the pits but when they pull them out its better than sex.
Been there man. You will be fine.
Goody

Rowdy · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 21:27:57

Hate to see ya laid up like this Joe - just do what ever the Doc say's - we'll see you out on the highway

Misfit · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 21:29:28

Prayers from Colorado Joe. I know in my heart that things will work out for you. Hang in there man. I am looking foward to you coming to CO. this summer.

Robert · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 21:44:39

Joe I have you in my prayers and will ask the prayer team at church to lift you up in prayer and your family too. You don't have anything to worry about. He has heard you and says its payback time for all the prayers you have prayed for others.
Jas 5:15 and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.

thumper · Thu 12, Mar 2009, 21:46:27

Hey Joe,

Funny how these things work, no? I mean I just saw you this past Saturday and as usual you were asking me about how I was doing with my cancer and how you were pulling for me. Well now it's time for me to tell you that I am pullling for you with all of the strength that I can muster.

I always considered it a privelege to be able to ride with you and your group. These are the best people there are and we are going to will you back to health.

I had my chemotherepy today and had all of the nurses in the infusion center gather for a group prayer for you so.....

Bring it....let's get well!

Take care....love ya man,

Paul

Enjoy the meds you're on, you don't get the real good stuff once you leave.
