Good Luck Bruce may the Lord guide the surgeons hands and may your recovery be quick.

Hugh -- Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers. They are trruly apprecdiated. Aloha

Good luck Bruce, I hope it all goes well!

Chris -- Thanks so much, I am sure it will.  Aloha

Oh my Bruce, as a retired professional singer the idea of taking my "box" out is unthinkable.

I don't need to know you to offer my sincere wish, prayer and positive thoughts that this is just a hiccup in your health.  That by Christmas you will effortlessly be able to tell your family you love them. Maybe next Labor Day you will call me @ 831-335-2100 to celebrate ....what cha think about that.   We can sing a duet of you favorite standard.

Good luck Bruce...I've marked Sept 4th on my calendar so I will be reminded to pray extra hard for you.  I've been praying for you all along...since I found out about it.  God DOES answer prayer!

My list of Active Rainer's to pray for grows again.  Know that we're all thinking of you and thinking postive thoughts.

Patti -- Thanks so much and you have a deal. Next year on Labor Day I will call you and we can sing a duo. Do you know the Field Artillery Song?  Thanks so much for your kind thoughts and prayers. Aloha

Mary -- Thanks so much, and I know God is looking out for me.  God provided me a company to work for when my old company was about to fail.  That was a real miracle.  Aloha

Chris-- Thanks so much.  I cherish your thoughts and prayers. Aloha

Hi, Bruce.  Those voiceboxes are amazing.  It looks like the hotdog without ketchup date has changed.  Good thing- there has been a national recall on all hotdogs, from all companies, for a month or so- they'll have the good ones in the store in September.  I can't remember where I read that- probably the same place that nationally banned ketchup on dogs!

Bruce: And I'm the first to treat you to that hot dog! I'm sure I'll see you before then....

Hi Bruce, I'll be thinking of you and praying extra hard for you on Sept. 4th and again on the 7th!  I'm sure all will go well.

I can't wait for the day you can eat again!  A hotdog with mustard, relish and onions -- sounds good, but I like a little chili on mine too. 

Hello Bruce,  I'm so glad that you will soon have this all behind you and be able to lead a normal life again with normal foods.  That's great news that you will be able to talk better than you can now~they truly can work miracles today. I look forward to the day when you can have a hot dog, I'll have my vegee hot dog ready at that time and toast to you with a glass of fresh spring water.

I'm keeping you in my talks with the universe and wishing all the best for you and your family.

Jo 

Bruce:

You and your wife are in my prayers.

BTW. You should be comforted to know that when I pray, I pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the only mediator between God and man.

Bruce your positive attitude is truly inspiring. God's strength my friend. You have a lot of folks praying for you.

Bruce,

If you get to Vegas I'll be glad to do the talking for both of us, Lord knows I'm rarly short of words.

There are those that say that the less you say the wiser you appear, I wouldn't know, but I've heard it said.

Best wishes from Brenda and I!

Your Faith and positive attitude will see you through - you see the future already. Hot Dog and mustard? Sounds like a memory and a taste! Enjoy!

Bruce, you will be in my prayers!!  You really inspire me as many others as well.  I hope you have a speedy recovery so you can let us know when you get that hot dog!!

Hi Laurie -- LOL Thanks so much for your wonderful comments.  We will have that hot dog yet!  Aloha

Hi Sally  -- Thanks so much.  I will be by this week and will see you before I go.  Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Aloha

Hi Judi-- Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.  If I were in San Antonio I would also make a trip to Rudy's for some BBQ!  Aloha

Hi Jo-Anne --Thanks so much for your kind words and prayers.  I will let you know and we can share a hot dog day.  Aloha

Hi Bill -- Thanks so much for your prayers, you have no idea how much I cherish them.  Aloha

Hi Bryant-- This site and the wonderful people on it make it easy to keep a positive attitude.  Aloha

Hi Bill -- I hope to be there in November.  We have a brand new granddaughter there and we want to meet her.  Thanks for your kind words.  Aloha

Hi Alan -- Thanks so much for your comments and good will.  Aloha

Hi Kimberly -- Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers. I really appreciate them.  Aloha

Bruce, yes, Rudy's for the "worst barbeque in Texas"!  I love their barbeque!  If you were here in San Antonio, we'd go together and it would be my honor to treat you to lunch. 

Hi Judi -- Thanks for the invite.  My favorite LO from San Antonio, Trish, is coming out here to be with my wife and I for part of the time I am in the hospital.  I hope she brings me a Shiner Bock. Aloha

You're going to be sick of hot dogs quick ...lol!

No way Sally -- trust me, aftrer a year of eating (tube feeding of three cans of goop twice a day) I could eat hot dogs three times a day for a month.  Aloha

Bruce, great news that Trish is going to be with you and your wife!  Too bad she can't bring some of Rudy's BBQ and Shiner Bock!  They go together sooo well! 

Judi -- I know, at least she should bring the Shiner Bock!  Aloha

Bruce,

You are in my prayers daily.  The Lord will watch over you and yours and see you through this difficult time.  I hope that you find peace in knowing that we all support you and wish you nothing but good things. 

Bruce, I have Shiner Bock in the fridge right now! 

Hi Carol -- Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers.  You have no idea how much they are appreciated. Aloha

HI Judi-- If it is not ICE COLD I am not coming over. LOL Aloha

Bruce -- It's ICE COLD!!!  Come on over, I'll make a run to Rudy's too!   The least Trish could do is bring you some Shiner Bock and a jar of Rudy's BBQ Sauce.

Bruce, I understand the anxious/scared feeling, but you've got this wonderful community at your back praying for your swift recovery. I'm so glad you will be at Queens Hospital and not Trippler! Queens used to be a wonderful facility, I pray it still is.

Hello Bruce,
The good news is as soon as the surgery is over, you'll start the recovery process and getting on with your life.  As I've told you before, you and your family are in my prayers and thoughts.  

Keep the hot dog in your line of vision!   

I will keep you in my prayers, and believe God for a full recovery

Judi -- Now your talking I will ask her to bring the beer and bbq sauce.  Aloha

Lysa -- Queens is still the best hospital in the Islands, but I am still not looking forward to it.  You have no idea how much I appreciate the thoughts and prayers and wonderful support from all here on AR.  Aloha

Cynthia -- Thanks so muc Cynthia -- That is exactly what I am doing.  I just want it behind me and as rapidly as possible.  Aloha

Diane-- Thank you so much. Aloha

Bruce,

It is amazing what everyone takes for granted such as a hotdog, in the big picture we all have a lot to be grateful for...I know since you have an awesome attitude you will heal as fast as possible. I go to New Hope Farrington and I will keep you in my prayers.

Thanks so much Shane - you have no idea how much that means to me.  Aloha
