To my CT friends,

My FIL is having brain surgery for the second time in three years at 11:30 this Thursday the 8th of November.He is also in his 8th month of chemo due to prostate cancer. Needless to say, he and my MIL can use all the positive vibes they can get, so, can you give a shout out to Ray this Thursday and wish him well in his surgery and prognosis. Many thanks

Surgery a couple of weeks ago and started chemo. Again.
I have plenty of left over good vibes I'm sending along to Ray as we speak. Please make sure that you, your family, and the inlaws stay healthy for his sake.
Brad, feel like poop tonight but something got me up from sleep and drew me to this post. Promise our shop will stop Thursday noon and gather to think about Ray. This is something they have started in the last month. It works!!

Sadly, even more reason for our ChefTalk family to pull together in healing thoughts.
Brad, Jeff's right about staying well for Ray's sake. Take good care of yourself.
And Jeff, you know I'm thinking of you.

As I can personally attest this is a great community for pulling together whether it's an immediate member or an extended member. My personal regards to your FIL Brad, he is a lucky man in many respects in the SIL department especially!

Pan you as well, we are always thinking about you and Sophie!

CC,
The very last thing I wanted to do was distract from you request. I tried the PM and it idn't work, sorry. I'm fine.
One thing about the multi-trauma gang, they usually come through good, as will Ray.

Thank you all so very much for your kind words and supportive Pm's
Unfortunately just before surgery my FIL had a severe heart arrhythmia which prevented the brain surgery (for obvious reasons) needless to say it was a very hard day for all, especially my MIL. At this time there seems to be little progress with the heart, the doctors are trying to determine the type and cause of the arrhythmia.Again, thank you very much for your prayers.

CC,
I really don't have any words for yesterdays outcome yet I do believe that things happen with a plan in mind... No matter whether we understand the plan or not. Kinda felt like something was up since we never heard especially since typically when things go well it's not to hard to exclaim that. I'm sure there's not much comfort right now but know that I'm/we're still holding out hope that things will be okay!

CC, I'm so sorry to hear that things didn't go as planned. I can imagine how hard that has been for your family. The good thing is they caught the arrythmia before starting a surgery like that! Please keep us posted on how he's getting along!

Thanks to everyone,

Things could be better, and they could be worse. (he is not in physical pain)

Your kind and thoughtful words mean a lot to me. I shared them with my wife and Jill was touched. I think we will be facing a long uphill run, but we are hopeful.

Again,
Thank you

My family received the best Christmas present possible. My father in law came home today after over 5 weeks in the hospital. He has a journey in front of him, but he's home :smiles::roll:

Thanks to all, and happy holidays!!!!
