John,

I'm sorry to hear of your stroke but glad to hear that you're on the road to recovery. Remember to be patient with yourself. As for your heart problem, by lurking here, I've learned that you already have a "good" heart. I guess your doctors are planning to make it even better!

Take care,
Fran (sending up a prayer with your name on it)

Welcome Back John, so very happy you're recovering. We really missed you. Take Good care of your health and of course, if you ever need any herbs from India, I'll pack them up and send them right over  :)

John, be sure you have your hanky near at hand when you listen to the audio.  It had me crying, and I know you will, too, you old softie.  :-*

A haiku for John and all his friends:

Crying about what's going in Iraq just means you are paying attention, John.  It IS heartbreaking.

Now on the other hand, the healing I see in you is heart-warming.  Giant (but gentle) hug, Clarissa

I'd LOVE to meet you for coffee (but I can't eat no cake just now--or then neither) next week--any time time or place is the right time and place (except during work hours, LOL). I got 'cher key chain right here next to me, all ready to go. I could meet you this weekend if you want!

And yeah, it really makes me smile to know that you'll be listening to the Broncho audio experience and getting an earful of love sent your way!

Just shoot me a PM about where and when--have cowboy hat charms, will travel.

John, if you can stand two coffee companions, I'd love to come along!  I have a bandanna, gummi candies and a sheep to give you, plus a picture or two.   Just let Jenny know, and I'll be glad to join you.  :)

John -

It's just soooooo fantastic to see your smiling avatar and know that, even with the difficulties, you're here with us.  I think you've defined in a new way what it means to be a Brokie!  Have your therapist(s) tailor excersizes to be BBM-specific, and measuring your progess in Brokie events.

You have been so missed, so cared about, so loved by so many.  Glad you're moving in a good direction!

Thanks for making the effort to email us, John, it's heartening to see you doing so well! Think of it as Brokie therapy, it will heal whatever ails you!
