Sorry I’m a little late, I only just saw this post.

I hope you (John) make a full, and fast, recovery.
My thoughts are with you!

You (Steve) take care too… You’re totally right about that feeling of community among us riders. I wish I could help in some way.

Perhaps a way to donate a few bucks to help with things? Maybe a little PayPal thingy?

Not a specific prayer that the surgical graft takes but a more broad prayer that addresses the way the large pieces fall. I like the strength that John is showing. It seems to run deep. – Paul

I received an email at 6:46 AM this morning from him describing the pre-surgery preparations and included some rather graphic images. John, ever the journalist, has been looking at his situation with open eyes. He said he is working up some of the technical imagery — x-rays, CAT scans, MRI, etc. I saw a lot of that early on an it was dramatic.

I’ve not heard anything yet about the outcome of the surgery or if they even could proceed. I will provide an update when I know something new.

Again, I am grateful for the community of support among riders of all stripes. It has been a happy surprise after beginning to ride again.

Wishing him a full recovery and his family the courage to continue the fight.

Thanks Steve, this is a wonderful thing you are doing.

I’m betting I can still remember the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary. After 30 years that’s got to count for something doesn’t it?
Bloody horrible mysteries would be more appropriate after all that talk about stomach muscles and loose flaps. Surgeons across the country are keeping their fingers crossed when they imagine having me for a very grumpy patient because let me tell you I’m not going to be near as chirpy as Mysterious John is, in his situation.

Here’s to you, mate!! I’m sure that your great creative spirit – and leg – will both pull through intact.

Many of us care and will be with you tomorrow…
