Prayers for TexasCowboy!

TexasCowboy has been using his hip injury as an excuse to prevent his friends from shooting his new riot gun.

Well some of us offered to take a look at it for him and he decided both a proffesional and sober opinion might make more sense.

So he found a coupon and now he is going to let some old saw-bones cut on him.

Probably a better idea than letting us do it, but a few folks feelings are still hurt!

Please all say a prayer for our Cowboy that he is back in the saddle again real soon.

Didja check Logan's thread? :)

[Brad’s Gramma]

Cowboy, I know you're not on here reading this...but please KNOW that we're all praying for you. Without ceasing.

God loves you......

I suspect if it were not for the TSA rules protecting the cockpit from precocious 2 year olds, Logan, aka TT, would have been up in the cockpit, sitting in the pilot's lap, flying the airplane. Just like he helped "drive" the bus. Too bad you weren't able to get a picture of that!. (I read Logan's thread too ya know. :) )

[Texas Termite]

LOL.... you're right! I was so surprised (and exhausted from the LONG trip) that I didn't even think about a camera at that point. It only goes to show that Logan has fun no matter where or when :)

"Cowboy, I know you're not on here reading this..."

I wouldn't be so doggone sure about that, Miss Smartypants!

I've been basking in the afterglow of the visit from the punkin and family. I even got some pictures for my bedside table.

Folks, I'm sure I have days like you all have: Remember that scene in the movie "Unforgiven" when old Clint gets kicked nearly to death by Gene Hackman? I think the feeling Clint had the next morning is the one I'm most familiar with.
But you do remember what happened to Hackman in the end, doncha?

My world is rocking along, friends. One day at a time. One mountain at a time. One battle at a time.
Right now I've got fluid in my lungs, but that will get better. Just another hill to climb.

I go back to UCLA next Monday for the first stage of a two part battery of tests. At the end of the second day I'm given the first of my chemical treatments and sent home with a six week supply.
At the end of the first six weeks I'll have to report back for an evaluation. If everything is going as hoped (and prayed) I'll go back home for another twelve weeks before the next evaluation.

The exciting thing is that both of these drugs hold promise of letting me get ahead with my life. If I'm doing good, I can go back to work and carry on a normal life again.
You've prayed me over a lot of mountains, friends.
Thank you for always being here. I can feel the love and support over the many thousands of miles.

Faith hasn't had the seizure interruptor installed yet. They wanted to get some more data before doing so.
Depending on the stress factors she still has two to ten seizures a day. They're short lived and she suffers no ill effect from them except from the stares of people in public places who have never seen a seizure. We don't pay them any mind, anyway.
Ahhh, what can I tell you about my angel, Faith??
A lady told me yesterday that Faith was very lucky to have me. I explained to her that she couldn't be more wrong. Faith is my rock, and she loves the role.
We hang on to each other, and the stream of life pulls us along.

God bless you all.
I love you.

TC

I wouldn't be so doggone sure about that, Miss Smartypants!

[BykrBayb]

It's great to hear from you TC. I'm keeping up the prayers. Posts from you always put a smile on my face.
