To the Universe....or whomever......


Please let this beautiful human rise up, with vigor and joy like never before.

That's my Easter wish.

AMEN!!! Thinking about you buddy and sending prayers for your return to health and well-being. So much we take for granted......until we don't......and then it's all about faith and the comfort of those around us who we come to see as the reasons to believe. We're around, man, so just know that and rest easy amigo......today is a special day and may it mark the beginning of better times for you. Again, AMEN!

Back in the "Arena" I see, with Hope on the horizon.

You've been through enough "hell" in this life, so you're sure to get a pass on the place below.

Keep up the positive thinking, Rob, and I know it's a struggle most days and beyond my ability to appreciate.


Yer still with us, and... that's what counts, eh?

Prayers and good wishes are in abundance, man.

Keep the faith!

Hello, I have been following your story since I saw it yesterday. I want you to know that I am pulling for you brother! You have that good spirit and attitude that it is going to get you through this!

From your posts it seems you have been experiencing problems with our healthcare system. I’m from Houston and we have in my opinion the best Cancer treatment center in the world at MD Anderson.

Surely it can't get worse. My capabilities diminished rapidly, to the point i could no longer get up vertical. I do not know how long i slept. All i could do at that point was crawl. My brother called in a welfare check.Sheriff and ambulance arrived and brought me to the emergency room. Somehow, i fractured my back, contracted pneumonia and mrsa, had internal abcesses that have been drained from my back, and there are some places on my liver they're concerned with. Now i find out they are going to scope my heart valves.

As soon as they get me healthy enough to discharge, im headed to a Skilled Nursing Facility. Medicare covers 100% days 1 through 20, and 21 through 100 i would have a copay.

The pain meds are kicking in, im off to nap time.

Bless your brother for thinking of you, potential life saver there. Prayers, good karma & best wishes to you, sir Rob!

Rob, I continue to pray for and your healthcare providers. It distresses me greatly to learn of the multiple challenges you are dealing with, but your spirit seems strong. May God bless you with strength and healing.

F cancer. Damn the torpedoes. Good to hear from you. Prayer for your health and comfort. I greatly appreciate your courage under fire, it is uniting, infectious in the best sense. God speed.

 

[eiraved]

Keep fighting the good fight my friend, we are all rooting, and more importantly, praying that you overcome these speedbumps to your recovery. May our good Lord intervene and lay his healing hand upon you, in Jesus' mighty name, Amen!!

It has been beaten somewhat, i hope that this doesn't set me back.

Time will tell though.

 

[bobsvinyl]

Prayers are always going out to you from my house. They told me my eyebrows and beard would fall off but they didn't. When the doctor noted that I still had them I told him "Oh, they did fall off but I crazy glued them back on." He believed me for a second and then smiled. Don't give up your sense of humor or hope. They are still there with you when you need them. God Bless, Rob.

Rob, that looks like a vast improvement over earlier photo’s you shared with us. Praise God for His mercy and healing.

I am so ready for some pie. Cholocate pie with a nice meringue, but at the moment i might have a problem getting it through the feeding tube.

 

[madwing]

hang in there, rob. i've been following this with pain for you in my heart, and i hope that the better angels of your strength lift you upright again.

 

[Fishead]

Mornin' Rob, how are you doin' today? Best regards and hope you are on the up-swing!

Someone stole my slice of chocolate pie!!

Just kidding. I'm having a small bit of fun with my current situation. My pastor came to visit earlier, and we read some from the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. Quite boring to be laid up, but im regaining my strength. I am thankful my brother called in a welfare check, i had no clue my back was fractured, and my infections had roared back to life but this time they had picked up a hitchhiker named MRSA.

Medicare has me at a skilled nursing facility, it is 100% covered by my insurance, unfortunately, they (insurance) cannot cover my radiation/chemo treatments too. So once I am done with the 20 days, I'm paying 100% out of pocket for a decent hotel which provides me with roll-in shower, housekeeping, and is affordable. Then i can resume my insurance covered treatments (radiation = 17 @ 5 days per week, Labs/Chemo is four left @ 1 per week) and can utilize a driver/laundry person for a month.

I should be ringing the remission bells and be cancer-free. No more feeding tube, tracheostomy, or other life-interrupting changes.

The recent activities hit my stocks perfectly, pushing a small but welcome profit into my portfolio and freed up a nice slice of green pie to afford this endeavor. I am tired, and am wrapping up for the evening (shut-eye).
