Monday, July 16


Matt came through the surgical procedure yesterday in good shape. In fact he is off to PT already today! The news from the surgery yesterday was mixed. The doctors did not find any pocket of fluid or infection, however, they did find some dead tissue. Some of that tissue was removed but not all. At this time rather than risk the introduction of more infection by opening and surgically cleaning out the wound, they will wait and monitor his leg carefully. We are hoping that the wound will heal itself without further intervention. Your prayers will be greatly appreciated.

Matt,

I am glad that you are progressing the way that you are. I check your site regularly to see how you are doing. I tell Jeremy about the progress you are making when I talk to him. I know that he definitely wants to come see you when he comes home for R&R at the end of October. I am living in Texas now with my mom, if there is anything that you or Tessa need, don't hesitate to ask. I will help out in anyway that I can. Congratulations on your upcoming promotion. Take Care and know that we are thinking of and praying for you daily.

Dear SSGT. Matt,

Congratulations on your promotion.
I hope you are enjoying seeing your web site and reading the messages there.
Since I won't be sending them anymore, I will be sending the jokes to you this way.

Here today's:

A young guy who's never picked up a golf club decides to take lessons. The pro shows him the basics, then says, "Okay, now try to hit the ball toward the flag on the first green."
The novice tees off and drives the ball 300 yards. It lands on the green, just inches from the hole. "Now what?" he says.

"Uh," stammers the pro, "you're supposed to hit the ball into the cup."

The beginner says, "Now you tell me."

We're prying for your healing.

Hi Matt. Guess who came to see me yesterday? Justin P. I was so happy to see him. Justin thinks the world of you, and now I know why. I know it's hard, Matt, but please keep trying, keep working. You are progressing nicely. Keep up the good work. Lots of people counting on you. I'm rooting for you, Matt and praying for you every day.

Thinking of you, Matt. I'm leaving on a trip to Alaska tomorrow so I may not have computer access so I wanted to tell you to keep up the good work and keep healing. Lots of love and prayers going your way. marta

Dear Matt,
Hope you can smile.

A man drowned in a tub of milk with a banana in his ear. Authorities suspect a cereal killer.

A toilet was stolen from the precinct. Police have nothing to go on.

Someone broke a hole in the nudist colony's fence. Cops are looking into it.

Matt,

A joke for today.
John tells his shrink, "Last night I dreamed you were my mother."
"How do you feel about it," says the psychiatrist.
"I haven't had time to think about it," says John. "I overslept this morning. Then I remembered I had an appointment with you, so I gobbled down a Coike and a cookie and came straight here."
"A coke and a cookie?"{ the doc replies. "You call that breakfast?"

I"M praying that you are healing well and that you therapy is progressing well.
