Today I am sitting at my computer at home. My wife bought me a Wii to help with my recovery and therapy process for my my right shoulder area. Unfortunately I can't get to it because she and our neighbors 9 year old grandson that helped her put it together are playing on it.

Yes, I am extremely blessed with finding the resources I needed at Mayo. I must tell you all that my brother went to Mayo in Rochester last winter to have a tumor removed that his local hospitals would not touch. He is also doing great.

When I started down this road last week I was pretty scared as you might well imagine. I obviously stepped up my prayer activity but what I asked for the most was to make my experience be a benefit to someone else. When I saw this thread posted yesterday it truly was like a prayer answered.

One of the primary things that helps anyone get through health issues like this is the thoughts and prayers from the people you know and love as well as the prayer chains I was put on by friends and family across the country. What caused this happen was that my wife found a site on the internet called Carepages.com. It is truly a wonderful site to keep everyone updated and gives them a chance to express their concerns to me and my wife. If you have a need please take a look at it and I'm sure you will be happy with the results.

I pray that everyone that has a need will not wait too long and contact Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic. If any one has any questions that I can assist with please let me know.
