Dr_Pain Update 12.14.
-
Good morning fellows! Today mark the first day that I am strong enough physically and psycho-emotionally to rejoin the electronic world. Most of November and December all (or most) of the communications were through my lovely wife. She was my rock through all of this.
Glad to say that I am on the mend. It was definitely touch and go for a while, and on 3 separate occasions I truly thought that it was the end for me. Just writing about it brings a tear to my eye.
To all of the “brothers” that send gifts and cards, I took the time to send you a private message. You guys absolutely rocks. To all that offered prayers, indirect support and best wishes, I owe you guys a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. I believe in my heart of hearts that it is only by the Grace of God that I am still around. I am not sure how much stamina I will have to participate on the Community, but I am back.
I do want to thank Waltons in this post more specifically Jonathon Austin and JohnG5 for the goodies. Jonathon coordinated with my wife a care package which came in just in time for me to have a nice gift on Christmas Day. I could not be more appreciative of a company and people that don’t know me reaching out in such a way.
My biggest thank you though will have to be to Chef who DAILY checked on my status/progress and updated you guys. We’ve never met in person but did have a couple of telephone conversations, when I was strong enough, and it is uncanny that you could feel so invested in a friendship which started on a Community like Meatgistics.
You guys ROCK!!! Thanks again for the show of support. I know a few of you are wondering the details of what really happened to me. I am an opened book so feel free to PM. If enough of you ask for the details I may make a PSA post. Although I am tempted to make the post right now I will wait to see the interest since it doe not really have to do with what we normally chat about on Meatgistics
Dr_Pain very well said and great to hear from you again. My prayers are still with you.

Dr_Pain It is great to have you back & better to hear that you are doing much better. We will be gladdest to hear that you have made a full recovery, but a little at a time is perfectly fine for now, so long as you are getting better.

Dr_Pain Agree with your “importance” and that you are now able to at least starting to get back on that bike of life. Wishing the healing goes as planned. Yep, we all missed you during your time away.

Dr_Pain that goes for not only early detection, but to place faith in Him where all things are possible.

Dr_Pain
Welcome back. Take it slow, we’re not going anywhere.
You got it PapaSop! Many of you have brought the wisdom of taking it one day at a time and that is what I am planning on doing. Thank you for your support

Dr_Pain Glad to “see” you again! Thought about you and your family often over the holidays. Glad you were able to be home for it. Looking forward to the potential PSA post.
Will remain in steadfast prayer for your full recovery.

Thanks! Considering the interest, I will definitely write my story soon. Thank you for the support and most of all the prayers for my speedy recovery. It means a lot

Dr_Pain Glad your back and looking forward to the day that you can once again fully participate in our Community. Keep on truckin’!!

Thank you Bob! It starts with baby steps, followed by more steady steps, followed by some jogging and finished by a nice little run. I am still in baby step mode. It is kinda overwhelming at times but I work the problem with all of your support and prayers of speedy recovery. I am looking at another surgery in a few months but should not be as bad as the second.

Dr_Pain nice to see you back hope your health continues to improve
Thanks Craig! Can’t wait to be back to my normal self. It is a long road but one that will never be finished if I don’t take each and every step seriously

Dr_Pain very well said and great to hear from you again. My prayers are still with you.
Thanks for the continued prayers. They do help! As the expression goes: An idle mind is the devil’s playground! Well the prayers help avoid most of that. It is incredible the number of times that the worse scenario plays in your help in those times

Dr_Pain you were certainly missed. It’s great you are feeling better.
Thanks! I do owe part of my recovery to you guys. It was heart warming to get PMs (even though I did not read them until recently…. I did get the notification my wife would tell me about), the cards and the calls. You guys rock!

From where I was to where I am, I have to call it a miracle. I still have another surgery in my future but I do not anticipate that it will be as drastic and traumatic as the second one. Thanks for all the support

“The bike of life”. I love bike riding but this won’t be in my near future unfortunately. I do get the analogy though. The same as any long bike ride it takes effort, dedication, focus …… and time. It is incredible to me the support I have received from you guys. I do owe you a debt of gratitude

Dr_Pain Hey, you were with me during my rehab and I will be with you during yours. Some days it’s all about 1 hour at a time. Give Liz a hug from me for her efforts.

She was my rock during the process and now she is relinquished to being my sugar mama, since I am not allowed to go back to work yet. I will definitely give her a hug for you.
