A Note from the Butcher of Sacred Cow Burgers [Prayer Request]
E-Mail Notice | 06/07/2004 | Sacred Cow Burgers

Posted on 06/07/2004 4:40:05 PM PDT by Prime Choice

Hello folks,

This isn't a notification of a new parody, but I felt this was a necessary note to send all the same. The long and short of it is this: I will be unavailable over the coming weeks and figured I should let you folks know why.

A little over eight weeks ago I was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer; a type that affects only 3 people in 1 million. This type of cancer does not respond to chemotherapy, so the only treatment is surgery.

I will be hospitalized starting June 10th to have the largest (and hopefully *only*) tumor removed. Due to the location of the tumor, the doctors are pretty much going to have to open me up like a raw fish.

Understandably, I will be out of action for some time afterward. According to my surgeon, recovery will take six weeks at minimum. But -- with luck and the Good Lord's patient help -- I may be back at making merry sooner than anyone can guess.

I'd like to take this time to thank all of you for your interest in my work and the critiques, compliments and suggestions that many of you have sent my way over these past months. It's your enthusiasm that keeps me jazzed about doing political parody every chance I get. Your candor is a gift that I value greatly.

Best wishes to you all. I'll be back in touch once I'm able. Until then, I'll be fighting the good fight...just on a smaller scale.

Sincerely,

Jay D. Dyson

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks for the power of prayer ... more accurately, O God, for the power that You unleash through our communion with You. It is for an outpouring of power over this cancer that we seek Your face, Gracious Lord, on behalf of Jay as he undergoes extensive surgery and recovery. May the surgery be far less complicated than expected ... may the removal of the tumor be without complication ... and may the recovery be complete. Give the greatest wisdom and direction to his surgeons ... may his caregivers be attentive to every aspect of his comfort and recovery ... may he soon return to Free Republic with a praising heart and a joyful soul.

Walk with him during this difficult time, Merciful Father, and bring him back into the sunshine of good health. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...

I have just prayed for you my friend, and I will continue to remember you in prayer. You are gonna be MISSED while you are gone. My brother had stage 4 cancer, and could only go "under the knife" for it. That was over 20 years ago, and he is doing fine. I'm expecting the same good news outta you, ok?
See you back here soon!!!
