Howdy everyone, I never thought I would consider myself a cult figure, and I still don't, lol, but honestly I am beginning to feel obligated to win this battle of back surgery that I am enthralled in. So many Heartlanders have taken me on as family, and made me feel that they are sharing my daily battle of surgical drama with them. I know my beautiful DW Debbi appreciates as much as I do all this awesome support, so hopefully you will all attend our primere of Cult Fiction II, naw, just kidding. Truthfully, without each and every one of your's support, I doubt if we could have been this successful in my recovery. Today, alone, I have received over 20 phone calls, PM's, emails, etc. all extremely supportive of my recovery. Just to name a few who either checked up or wrote about me in the last few days, ty to Mark, Tom, Ken, John, Jim, Carol, and so many more especially Big Al, who like so many more just expected me to know them by their first name, ROFLMAO. Even the nurses are asking daily about my progress, and it has now taken on a life of its own. Talking about a little pressure........So thanks for making this painful recovery so bearable and exciting. I feel its my obligation to succeed for all of us. So know this, when its late and I'm feeling the pain, you are the ones I applaud for making life bearable..... and yes, worth living. I may be your latest special cause, but in this special case all Heartlanders are winners!
