Joe buddy... as one old signpainter to another, fight your way back bro. Your feisty demeanor adds a lot to this forum. You and I (and a few others on here) are relics of another era in the sign industry. We have to stick together to not let anyone forget this was a trade where you had to have talent to thrive. Looking forward to seeing you beat this thing and returning to us.

Cmon ol buddy. You were one of the first people I met years ago when I first got on the web. We've been good friends since then, I guess cause we both believe in the same things, and we both come from coal backgrounds. Im praying for you Joe, hang in there.

update..
from his family
Hennie (and others) met with Dr. little while ago: Heres the bottom line, 1) Only 50% chance he'll "leave hospital" 2)Theres nothing available right now in medical field that can/will "fix" heart damage, Doc says stem cell procedures still "10 years down the road". Hennie is of the opinion they don't consider Joe "good candidate fro heart transplant. 3)Sometime within next 48 hours they will attempt to "wean" him off ventilator and will do same with the "heart pump" a little later than that. (Damn,know
They will remove restraints tomorrow IF Joe ceases being combative. (He's SO combative BECAUSE they have arms/legs bound. He can't TALK cuz of ventilator, but he DOES want to have ability to AT LEAST WRITE. Any/all of you that know Joe,... KNOW that talking/communicating is probably what he enjoys/does BEST!!lol) 5) IF he "continues to improve" will be moved to a room in a few days; still ICU/CCU until then. Think thats about it......except, last but not least, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for your love, support and "prayers" Hennie will prob be on later( tonight) to write update. I'M sending big hugs to each of you whoever/wherever you are

i was just telling a friend this morning... here's a man i've never met, never spoken to, never even exchanged pm's with... and yet... through his writing... have become so fond of his colorful character, openness, sense of humor and jovial spirit... that he feels like a dear friend.

That'a funny GG, I was saying exactly the same thing to the Coffee Club guys this morning. OP.......))))))) is someone I think all of us look forward to seeing post. Never any doubt as to where he stands and you just know that when challanged he will be roaring back to defend himself. But from what little I know of him, I want him covering my back in a "ten on two fight".
OP........))))))))) get yourself back up cause all your friends on Signs 101 miss you. My prayers are with you.

Thanks again for the update.
I've seen people come back to live practically normal loves with much worse odds than 50%..... many times.
If anyone can do it..... OP will be the one to prove that a far left, PA bar mother's kid who has never done anything RIGHT in his life with coal mining poor men in the family who has served his country will be the person to prove it's possible. I just wonder if this will be considered Bush's fault or due to Obama's intervention ))))))))))))) ? ))) ?

I think we all are. I keep seeing the thread come back to the top and see Techman under the title thinking he was the last to post with an update.
