I am confident you will pull through. Heaven is not ready for you yet! I will put it on my calendar so I can pray for you, the doctors and your wife all day!
Frank, I'll be thinking of you as well. I've appreciated your sense of humor and encouraging comments. This forum community has been a place to vent frustrations and get recharged . . . wishing only the best for you and yours.
Frank, best wishes and we will talk with you when you get back to yourself. If it doesn't work out, we all have to go sometime and to be able to work on the roofs up until you pass would be a dream. My father is 93 and he is confined to a bed with a catheter just waiting to die. It is hell and he never wanted that. The problem is that he is healthy as a horse, but doesn't know what is going on. He is back in WWII right now. Carry on!
