how can an honest-to-god Pagan remain a Pagan, when all these wonderful are praying for him, and he's ALIVE AND WELL AGAIN?
I went into surgery at high on, on March 15, 2208. Hey, I just noticed, high noon! You know, the gunfighters duel it out on
the streets of a sleepy little western town! A parody!
Anyway, there I was, in this chilly surgery room, with people
rushing every direction. I am shove into this cove, away from
the main hub, and brainiac. I am told to sit up on the table.
"Oh no," I think, "they're going to shove that needle up my back
again."
"Alright," a voice says, "you'll be feeling sleepy soon, so let's lie on your back again."
That was it!
The next thing I saw was my wife's smiling face. That first night is a nothing to me. I hardly remember it, and yet, I can't forget it! I didn't sleep at all, until well after midnight, when they finally gave me some Diladid, my all-time favorite drug, and I became the rock, with zzzzz's! The next mroning Doctor Joudi came to see me and uttered the six most beautiful words I've ever heard in my life.
"I think we gor it all," Diane and I hugged, as I shook the docor's hand. And I want you to know, that really hurt to hug her.
And, the Epideral was still in me!
"Easy," Doctor Joudi said, "I don't want to have to go back in
THERE! It was like a thick jungle in there!"
"More biopsies will be coming back, but the tumor was enclosed, so
we'll wait to make sure, but I think we got all of it!"
A day leter they pulled the epideral out, and two days later he said that, "everything else came out clean." I was clean! Hey, this dirty old man is clean!
I may continue with my huge penchant for being a complete smart ass!

Yippee, kai ay!
Hot damn dog!
I am the luckiest man in the world. Either that, or...you means it's true! There is a

Quick Joe! Start
glad to hear that you are on the mend...
ready to chase the Easter bunny...

I am very humbled and indebted to all of you for being with me.
It is Wednesday, and the pain is still with me. But I am here,
believing in the power of hope.
Than you June,
Joe
The Easter Bunny has already been here,
in the form of a great hope. I am mending
slowly. It's a wonderful hurt that I feel.
Thank you AZRON,
Joe
Gee, I'd like to think he was a Hawkeye,
but I don't thin our native Iowa talk
has that hint of Easr-Asian India.
Dr Joudi is my latest super-hero. He is
thorough and competent. His follow-up was
on overtime. He really cared for, and about
me. I'm glad it's finally over.
Now we deal with the joy of painful healing.
Life is great again, and thanks,
Joe
Amen!
I am so glad to hear the news!
I can say, praying for you is a blessing on these knees.
I sure am beholden.
How are you doing?
Hope your path is bright.
Joe
That's a hard path to take to make a dirty old man clean.
It is getting better every day.
I had an Epideral put in my back for pain.
When they took that baby out,and I was on
my own, Ooooooweee! that hurt! Suddenly I
felt like I'd been shot in the stomach!
I'm walking straight up now, but it was
a'hurtin' for a while.
Thyanks for the words,
Joe
I have been given a great gift. What I do with
it is up to me. I am trying to put some things
together for Cancer, about Cancer. I am hoping
to do some good with this gift you all have given
me. God knows, my fiction isn't going anywhere!
Thanks again, and may the peace of Jesus be with you today,
Joe
PS: All the chocholate and vanilla are gone from the
neopolitan ice cream. All that's left is a big glob
of Strawberry! I love it!
The first surgery removed my kidney. He had to take
a rib out. I asked him to save the rib so I could
hang it in my garage. Dr Mullangi thought I was a bit
morbid, but was agreeable, I think.
Well, he forgot. But it turns out that's kind of illegal
anyway, so I didn't get the rib. But I did get my Radiation
face mask. It hangs, proudly, in my garage with the words:
"Up yours, Mr C" below it. Thanks Anexplorer,
May the peace of Jesus be with you today,
Joe
I believe Prayers, positive thoughts and hope work wonders, I think your gift of words will touch many people and be a great help. Strawberry ice cream is the best, have a great night!

Congratulations!
It certainly would appear so.
I have been blessed and I am
regained.
