Hi Joe
My thoughts are with you through this and I can understand a little of the anxiety of waiting for the reports - we've just been through a similar ordeal in my family. I echo everyone's profound hopes that the results are good when they come in.
Here's to having you back with us soon and stunning us all with those awesome 'copters!
Take care
Rowan

I just noticed that Joe is back a bit sooner than I thought he'd be, So I wanted to BUMP this back to where he could read all of your well-wishes for himself.
Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Hello All

,
How's things going...things are getting better here day by day. Moving around more often and most of the swelling has gone down. Sitting still seems to be a challenge, but it is getting better aslo. Maryann lets me into the modeling room for short times. The biggest battle I'm in right now....quiting smoking. I can't say that I'm doing well at it as it's after 3 am and I got up for a short time and I'm sneaking a smoke

Hopefuly the :-)8 won't smell it. Boy I can't wait to get back to modeling soon, but till then I just hang around here
It feels like bible camp…Only I’m not crying pretending I’m somewhere else.
Happy Modeling

Joe,
as usual, we all a delightfull and glad to see you around once again...
i understand how u feel bro.. to resist from the temptation of smoking is something that i also need to fight!! When my son was in hospital, i try to sneak out and smoke some place far away.. smoking were banned in hospital here!! so just imagine i have to walk about a mile to smoke... LOL... but my wife will smell it even after i scrubbed my hand..
it's good to have u again bro!!
The more i know, the less I understand!!!!

Hi Joe:
Good to see you back online and glad that you are progressing rapidly in your recovery. Hopefully SWMBO and your doctors will let you back into the modeling room as that will hopefully make it a bit easier for you to kick the tobacco habit.

Hang in there Bro! You'll whip it all and soon you can get back to the bench.

Hi Joe!
I am so happy that you're back!
I understand the smoking issue - I really should stop it too, but...
Maryann is doing a great job with you - you should pay attention to what she tell you

Keep safe and get better and better everyday
