Update from John

Hello everyone,
I am sorry it has been a while since the last update. I will try to be better in the future.

Since getting out of the hospital in October, I have made some progress. First of all, I have been getting great care from my wife and the great people at Carilion Home Care. I still have the open wounds on my stomach and I can’t eat food like you all do (I get my nutrition through IV’s). I did however, cook the Thanksgiving turkey this year and have been cooking for my family for the past couple of weeks. Even though I cannot eat, it is therapeutic for me.

I have been attending my son’s basketball games and hanging out with my daughter in the evening times. I am staying up in my wheelchair for hours at a time, playing cards with my parents and hanging out with my best friend Bob. I do communicate with a lot of you through facebook and that is great for me.

Life is getting some kind or normalcy back into it. Please feel free to contact me on the phone, email, or look me up on facebook. I will try to give you guys a update every week or sooner if something happens out of the ordinary.

God Bless!

Big John
