Hi All,
Bob continues to improve. He is much more alert and his mental state is much improved as the drugs from his surgeries dissipate. In fact, he is feeling so much better, when we asked him what message he would like to send to his friends on the blog, he said, and we quote, "&^$>@!*)+&%*^#/>+!%&, and furthermore, *#%$^)*!+*@$%." In other words, you can see the old Bob is re-emerging. He actually made a pretty funny remark, but in an attempt to keep this a "G" rated blog, you'll have to personally ask him what he said next time you see him.
On a serious note, he really is feeling much better. He is anxious about the next surgery mentioned in today's earlier update, but all in all, we and his docs are very pleased. Today, Shelly showed him the blog, including the pics, and she read all your comments to him. He laughed with some, smiled for others and was truly touched by all of them. Keep those cards and letters coming.
We might also mention that Bob's urologist mentioned today that he doesn't think he has ever had a patient with so many people following his progress and concerned about him. (We even heard that some of the people in ICU and elsewhere have accessed the blog to see what all the fuss is about and learn more about Bob.) The doc mentioned that he seems to hear Bob's name wherever he goes. This too brought a smile to our faces. And by the way, we are so grateful to this doctor, Dr. Wang (pronounced "Wong") and all the other medical personnel involved in Bob's care. You have just been so wonderful. You are the Angels on our shoulders. Thank you so much.
Well, in this case, a short update is good news. Wish we had more to share, but then again, we're glad we don't.
Take care and be well.

Bob,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you are doing better. Sorry to say the girls got the potato cheese soup I made, perhaps if you continue to get better I'll be able to send you some!! I have every girl in softball bugging me for updates daily, and all are pulling for you. We miss you much and look forward to the day you can come see us all again. Love and continued improvement.

Hi Bob!
ReplyDeleteI was at the school today and all the kids were asking about you. Including Johnny. This was my first chance to speak to him. I took a picture of him for the MITA newsletter, I am going to do something special for him. Everyone there is concerned and wanted to come see you. I told them we are hoping very soon and the family will keep everyone posted.
Glad your feeling better, you have a ton of cheerleaders cheering for you! You are the strongest man I know! Keep your chin up, we love you!
My mom and dad say hi too, my dad tried to post something and it didn't go through. They ask about you everyday.
Love ya!
Amy
Bob, This from Johnny Cornejo. I write in his own words.
ReplyDeleteWassup, Gay Fool! We miss you O.G. (no homo). So, I heard you are doing better now and cracking your lame jokes again. LOL. But I just wanted to say thanks for the new shoes you got me and no, they are not as gay as the last ones. And you didn't have to do that for me, GF. The shoes were all old and dirty anyway. To give you an update on the class. 1st and 2nd period are just waiting on the sand, but we are all ready to go. 3rd period is doing okay with their project. 4th & 5th I have been taking care of myself. And...just to let you know I have been doing a pretty good job of it too. LOL. They are learning how to spread right now. And I taught them how to use a chalkline and how to mark their jobs just like you do. I taught them how to lay out the first course of a 20 foot wall by using the chalkline and tape measure. So, I am trying to give them all the knowledge you gave me.... if that's possible. I just wanted to thank you for everything you taught me in masonry and especially in how to be a person. You've given so much of what I can learn in the real world. I was also thinking how crazy it is that the day before it happened, I was ignoring you, member? My plan was to ignore you for a week, but a new day started and I just couldn't stay mad at you, GF. So, thankfully, I got over my period, huh? If not, you would've been in real trouble, GF. But, it is good that you are okay and hopefully you get better as soon as possible. But, I just wanted to stop by and show you some love (no homo). Don't get excited, GF. But, I'll talk to you later. Alright then, GF!!!!
My daddy is the STRONGEST person I know... He is my Hero and I will always be Daddy's Little Girl!
