Hallmark, thanks for the update.

Do you know his therapy schedule?

Hi Bob. Hope you're feeling okay. Don't know if you saw the SNL thread on the politics page but on the weekend update they mentioned that Hillary is strutting around after the debate like a rassler' in the ring but she doesn't notice Chris Christie is outside the ring ready to toss Trump a folding chair so he can smack her with it. The SNL writers feel the same way you do Bob about politics and rasslin.'

Ok I had planned to come up right now between appointments. I will try on Wednesday if he's not in physical therapy at 1230 or 1PM.

Thanks Hallmark

Even you Sal!

Hallmark.....you are the best......please keep us updated, and give Bob all of our love. This is just going to be incredibly tough, and it is about time for Bob to catch a break.

I have not really done very much except to drop by and visit a few time. Others are really caring the mail...

To the last one I give my highest praise......the caretakers in this world have a special place in heaven, and I personally cannot thank all the people who have helped me over the last eight years......words are not enough. The battle with cancer is tough enough without the mobility issues.....it just is not fair......it is a horrible disease which I hope in my grandchildren's lifetime can become more of a chronic condition with multiple cures which can give survivors high quality and full lives. I can only wish the same for Bob. I know he took care of his mother and he defined his soul with kindness. Every parent wishes their children could be as kind as Bob.

I think by dropping by and visiting it a morale booster. Only wish I could by more often.

Man you have to keep fighting. Hospice can come to your house. Also I read SH has hospice now. The drugs they've put you on are working on your brain. Keep fighting.

You are a kind and generous man. Most people can only wish to have a friend like you.

Dude... I know you're made of stronger stuff than that. Please ask to speak with a therapist.

I know many quadriplegics from coaching wheelchair tennis... they have full and robust lives.

I wouldn't fault you making a very difficult decision... but it's important that you're seeing it clearly.

Bob,

Those oh chit days can merge into oh chit weeks.......I know when I get knocked on my asz that all the cheerleading in the world does not change my reality. So none of us can change your reality. Most of us cannot even get close to the thirty day hell you have been through. I know I get tired.....really tired at times, but we can only pray that you will garnish some strength when you get up in the morning, and all the drugs, cancer, and paralysis can take a back seat to your essence which can and must beat this. Take a deep breath and get through this oh chit week, and hang onto the hope that you can regain some semblance of a sane world where you can get just a little bit of your life back........we are all pulling for you, but it has been a pleasure knowing your kind soul, and I hope that in the next six weeks I can visit you if I am able to make the trip.......if nothing else you could get a giggle or two, but in any regard be comfortable and understand that we are all pulling for you.

I hope I can speak for most here and say that you're very important to us.

We need you... in a strange and inexplicable way... lol.

Bob, I'm dearly hoping you won't give up -- Pkr is so right that we need you.  Still, no one here can fathom what you're going through.  We can only send our love and hopes for the best possible outcome for YOU.  Just please know the world will be a sadder, poorer place without you....you are so full of light and life, and paralyzed limbs don't change that, nor do they diminish the wonderful, engaging person you are -- and they never will, whether you choose to stay with us, or to depart this world and remain ever in our hearts.
Wishing you peace,
Linda
