Get Well Stovie....and God Bless You.... ...

“Not yet. Maybe I'll try to call tomorrow. I need to ask if he's getting low on cookies yet. :)”

“he may just want to hang there for a while till he gets his fill of cookies and nurses, then they'll have to wheel him out to get rid of him...
Get well, Stovie.........”

“There used to be this guy on TT a long time ago by that trail name but he doesn't post here any more :-(”

“hi”

“Welcome back dude!”

“Hey Kevin, do you prefer walnuts or pecans. Inquiring minds want to know!”

“Hi yourself and was it great to see something from you...hugs from Mata”

“Stove,

I just mailed you a letter. I am praying for your recovery. I can't imagine what you are going through, but I know you have great humor and are a strong person. Anyone like you will come out on top for sure!

I just finished the last of your honey the other week, it was almost solid, but I wanted to use it up in some bread I made.

Anyway, you have great friends and family surrounding you! My arm is up in the air for you!
Take care and get well,
Tina Dean”

“Stove, just heard the bad news. Get well soon OK. You gots lots of hiking to do yet!”

“THANK YOU ALL.
I'm getting better/
Still typing with left hand only but I walked 100 feet with a quad cane yesterday.
My hand bow can grip lighty and my right thumb and first finger now work a little.
The doctor's say I'm doing great.”

“I'll be in the hospital till may 3.”

“no nurse is safe until then”

“Get well soon XL.”

“Woooo Hoooo...goood to hear Stovie!!!...hang in there and recover quickly!!!!!!”

“awesome stove!”

“On BAN- we are thinking of you!”

“Stovey, you managed to suck up to someone AGAIN to get on the computer. You devil, YOU! (good to talk to you last week :-) Still praying for YOU (and your nurses!!! LOL) You can do whatever you want to do -- keep it on recovering. ;-)”

“StoveStomper, good to hear you're feeling better each day. You'll be back out on the trail soon.”

“Good news! Look forward to seeing you on the trail, bro.”

“That's great news! Wooohooooooooo!”

“remeber this little gem stomper?

get well soon darling!



”

“Ahhhh!

That freak was on "America's got Talent." Very briefly I might add. Hasselhoff wouldn't give him the boot, until one of the other judges reached over and hit the buzzer.”

“So glad to hear you are doing good! Keep it up!!! Need a horn for your cane?? beep beep!!!”

“he need a cane with a mirror on the bottom..... :p”

“He really is doing great.
I didn't tell you guys, but I had a stroke at the end of Dec. I'm doing awesome now, but it's been a rough road, more emotionally than anything. So when I saw that Stovie had a stroke I called him right away at the hospital. I obviously haven't been on TT that much lately, so I didn't know what had happened until today.
Anyhoo, he asked me to tell you all that he's doing great and he's keeping his spirits up and trying not to get too frustrated.
He was able to do some fine motor stuff with his right hand recently and is excited that the strength in his leg is back. He is still working on getting coordination and balance down when walking. He still has difficulty with his hand though. His speech is improving and is great in the morning before he gets too tired. He clearly has no memory issues or cognitive deficiencies as he recalled something about my cat in our conversation.
I'm going to call him again in a couple of days, so I'll give you an update then.”

“Oh jeez... I've been off TT way too long as I just read about poor Stovie now!!! Glad he is doing great and my prayers are with him.”

“All that good hiking keeps the body healthy and recovery quick. Yay hiking!”

“I just heard about this. Too much to read...I got my stroke in October and I still have trouble with words and typing etc.

Stovie...hang in there bud I'll be praying for you.”

“God bless you, Mr. Stovester. My best wishes for a speedy recovery.”

“Thank you Pixie, for emailing me and letting me know about Stovie :-(
Stovie, I don't pray for people but I do think about them a lot :-)
Hope all is well, and only gets better for you!
Sarah”

“Thanks for the update Pixie!”
