Carl,

I am so glad to read that the operation went successfully. I will pray for a full recovery. Resting is probably boring but the best thing for you now.

I'm up and down the Studio stairs OK now and I wanted to personally thank everyone for all their kind wishes and many prayers. I know that was a very big help to me and I am grateful to you all.

I'll know in about a month as to the degree of the surgeries success. Meanwhile I can now get to some painting bit by bit,

and take some time to read and catch up here on what I have missed.

Again, I deeply appreciate the kindness everyone has shown me, I hope you all receive back the many blessings you have sent my way. Thank you all, I get stronger every day now, and life is good again.

Dear Carl,

You have made our day. Welcome back. My friend, who is also recovering sends her regards.

And you are receiving, from our corner of the world, a warm hug.

Magdalena

Hi Carl,

I'm so happy to hear you're doing well! I'm looking forward to more of your Forum posts.

For you Carl. I haven't been here for awhile and checked out this thread first.

God Bless and prayer uplifts----I, along with the others will await your soon to be painting to be posted. With the Best artist and creator on your side----you cannot lose. If you could see the birds nest that I collected woven within stalks of wheat in our pasture. It is over 20 years old. I have kept it in a vase "a woven work of art" by the smallest creature. What better way to see who is in control.

I wish sprinkles of sunshine to you and yours.

Guys,
I just wanted to let you know that my first test (an important one) after the operation has come back good. I will have to be retested every 3 months for awhile and then every so often for some years. At least it is a good start. I am feeling pretty darn good now.

I want to deeply thank everyone for the concern, helpful thoughts and prayers.

Carl,

I just want to say thanks so much for sharing this story of your cancer and now hopeful recovery. This has especially touched me since I nearly died 9 months ago of a massive heart attack. The whole volumes of "second chances" and "extra innings" , etc., etc. are speaking loudly in my being as I'm sure they are in yours. What a wonderful gift we have in being able to share a little while longer....is it not?

Continued Prayers and Blessings,
Geary
