This has nothing to do with our old business. You don’t have to read, if you don’t want to see this. I had to run Dan to Huntington ER 6 weeks ago because of his original illness for the last 45 years. Most of you know, that Dan has had MANY surgeries on his colonoscopies. The Cleveland Clinic sent a helicopter to our ER to fly him back there for a new type of a very bleeding condition. He. Had surgery right away for that, recovered, and then it was time for his scheduled surgery. That one would be hard to believe. We were coming up here, to Cleveland, for many appts for months, with 10 different surgeons. That is when we found out, that from all of his horrible pain, and other hard things, he had cancer, and had 1 year to live, maybe as little longer. His only other choice was finally, he would go thru the most demanding, huge, long, hard surgery. So his scheduled surgery, was 14 hrs long, 5 of the very best surgeons. He had his left leg removed, the big, fast growing cancer, was taken out of his back side, from the front. He had many more necessary surgeries at the same time, his hip was removed, then rebuilt with his removed leg! Much more. 8 surgeries, about 2 at the same time. 😳😢❤️🙏 I know some of you won’t appreciate this, but sooo many of our old customers love, and know Dans history. Tomorrow morning is when we will finally both be leaving Cleveland Clinic by ambulance together after more than 6 weeks here. I stayed right in his room with him this entire time. Sooo much for me to do too here, but Dan had the hardest part, obviously. and Dan and I both were so happy to be with each other thru this. Dan will be taken to a Rehab Center in Ft Wayne. He will be settled in there for apx 2 months. There, one of our Sons will stop on his way home from work. He’ll give me my trip back home from there. This was hard, up and down. Now he will be working out,to learn to stand, sit, walk, shower. Operate electric wheelchair, someday drive…My job at home, is to finish our house, replace our mattress, selling much furniture, and so much more. We’ll install many metal things around the house. after sooo much my entire family helped us with while we’ve been gone. We’ll be ready for Dan to come home. Thanks for getting thru all this. ❤️
