sorry to hear the news. I know being incapacitated in the hospital is a real drain on all involved but it's the place to be to get better! So just keep riding those doctors and nurses until you are better.

Your health and family trump practice, and everyone in RD understands and respects that. If you are able to practice and it brings you enjoyment, by all means log-in and enjoy. If it is painful or otherwise difficult due to your current situation, don't lose sleep over it. Stop in the forum for some humor, chit chat, or just to catch up.

Blessings to you, your family, the doctors, and all those whom are working to bring you relief and healing. Keep your spirits high.

My thoughts are with you Joe, stay strong and keep fighting. You said it best when you said you'd be there till your recovery is complete. Please keep us posted.

Also, be nice to those nurses, not all shots have to hurt!

Dear Joe and Family!!

Im terrible sorry to hear of your diagnosis.
But now you know what is going on and you will be better prepared to take on that big C monster.
Of course we will keep you and your family in our prayers, couple times a day too!
As everyone said, dont worry bout making any of the practices unless you want to!
God bless you and keep you.
I hope you have a speedy recovery and everything goes better than test book in your favor.
I would love an email address either public or private to send you some inspirational thoughts.
I have some wonderful web sites that you may like to check out too!
Gosh the computer in the hospital... that would be an awesome way to spend time!
I know that I can lose track of time just surfing the net. what a great idea.
Get plenty of rest, keep happy thoughts, and just relax.

Much love to you and your family!
Mom07 aka Andrea
keep the faith!

Wow bro.. I am way sorry to hear that. Glad to hear your spirits are high. It should say something that when you asked God for help you recieved it. Keep that in mind for the tough days knowing that God is helping you. Can hardly wait to play with you when things are better. I will get my prayers going for you from here on out. When I pray you will be in them. You keep up the good thoughts and I will chat with you later shoot.. if it were summer I would ride the harley up there and go see you.. but the only other vehicle I have gets 10 -15 miles to the gallon..... But.. hey.. Know you are in my thoughts my friend

*edit OH.. as for practices... I know you want to be there but you make sure you take care of yourself first K??? k.. good..
