Glad to read all the progress you are ...Hey Andrew-<br />Glad to read all the progress you are making. You continue to amaze me every time I read your blog!!! And I know what the ted hoses feel like. I try and wear them every day to work, because by the end of the day my legs are swollen and sore!! But they do really work :) I hope you and Kalli can make it to the Brewer/Cubs game this weekend. It is suppose to be good weather! Well anyways, just like so many others have written, keep on writing every detail! I love reading it all!!! You have an amazing attitude and have made us all so proud. Keep it up!Rebecca Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678655074175609864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020445546224051384.post-5851643891719810492009-07-02T09:37:44.981-07:002009-07-02T09:37:44.981-07:00hey hip,

RIC beats the hell out of ICU anytime. your daily progress is awesome to read but seeing it firsthand was indescribable. you my friend have inspired me to start (and continue) a daily workout routine. and you know me hip, i'm not a gym/let's work out kinda guy but if you can do it for hours every day my ass really has no excuse not to. <br /><br />on to a little sadder news. i don't think i'll be able to make the golf outing. not only have i not paid my first quarter of taxes but the second quarter just ended and i think uncle sam is expecting a nice chunk of change from me. the plan is to save some money and make it back octoberish for the next big hippert event. i've been keeping my eyes peeled my entire life but i still haven't found that damn duffel bag filled with unmarked 100 dollar bills. it eludes me daily but if i do run in to it in the next few weeks expect to see me at Reid, otherwise i will be an absent. now that doesn't mean i'm gonna stop getting people to go and round up some donations for it, it just means everyone there won't be graced with my handsome presence :-)<br /><br />hey man if you make it to a brewers cubs game i want pics galore. i've never been to wrigley so if you make it tell kalli she's gotta be snappin pics left and right. here's a little cubby humor for you: 1) what's the difference between wrigley field and a cactus? all the pricks are on the outside of the cactus. 2)what do the world series and a male bear have in common? neither one has a shot at having cubs 3)what were Jesus's last words to the cubs? don't do anything til i get backAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020445546224051384.post-62039811849821017462009-07-02T08:35:23.162-07:002009-07-02T08:35:23.162-07:00Andrew ~ you blow me away with your positive at...Andrew ~ you blow me away with your positive attitude! Those three little sentences at the beginning of your last paragraph are a fabulous example of exactly the attitude you have which allows you to succeed in life! You are awesome! ~ You were totally inspirational to Paul and Jim – thanks for your hospitality and for giving Paul such an incredible game of tricks – he showed me the score sheet immediately when he returned home! ~ Here’s hoping that the massage in the long run will have proved helpful in releasing toxins from those muscles and prove as beneficial as it felt immediately following.

Did you try the ole Texas cath? <br /><br />If Joey is still there, wish him my best. He's a cool guy, and I'm sure he taught you lots of stuff about spinal injuries. But don't forget that I'm sure he learned just as much from you about attitude, perseverance, and perspective. We’re all learning something through you experience, so keep sharing. <br /><br />Thanks for the shout out on the golf outing. It’s coming together but the more the merrier!<br /><br />Mark LeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020445546224051384.post-77362501522077207732009-07-02T06:58:40.881-07:002009-07-02T06:58:40.881-07:00Nice pic on the golf invite thingy.
You are doing ...Nice pic on the golf invite thingy.<br />You are doing so well---so keep your spirits<br />up! I think you just have to wrap your mind<br />around the thought...."He did not say you<br />would not be tested.........He said...<br />you would not be consumed!"

Last day at the Pacific was HELL since I had to clean out everything and I pretty much left everything for the last day. Took me from 09.30 - 03.00, slept 45min and then went off to the airport....<br />It was with tears in my eyes that I left SD for I have made so many good friends and had so many good experiences, a lot of these thanks to YOU! So thx bro for a wonderful year and I know I'll be seeing you again soon!<br /><br />I'm glad to hear you're doing som much progress and that everyday u learn something new! Have u shot any more nurses with the nerfgun :D ? <br /><br />Oh and whats happening now that Joey is leaving, r u getting a new room mate?<br />Hope he's as cool as Joey. <br /><br />Allright man, keep up the good work!<br />Say hello to Darnell, Mr Crocket and the rest of the people at RIC from me. AND tell that cute nurse well take her out on "my" 140ft sailboat here in sweden hahahahahaha<br /><br />PeaceGuillermonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020445546224051384.post-62034953911502740052009-07-01T21:40:34.967-07:002009-07-01T21:40:34.967-07:00Hey Hip,
Sorry you weren't feeling up to snuff...Hey Hip,<br />Sorry you weren't feeling up to snuff this morning. Glad it was just the lapse in your pain meds and not the swine flu. Whew! That was a close call.<br />I think you need a guest book to record all of your visitors. (You have to be getting close to a hundred by now). Forget the shake of the day, you should just start charging admission!<br />I will be going up to our cottage starting tomorrow (Thursday)for the July 4th weekend so I am trusting Endow will "have your back" while I am away from my "post". I also trust that he will not blog you to death just to win our blogging competition. Tell him a gentleman would be respectful of his female competitor, and not take advantage of her. <br />Know that while I am out of "computer" touch you will not be out of mind and I will still be praying for you.<br />I look forward to reading all of your updates when I get back. Keep sharing. It is so nice to feel a part of your recovery journey. <br />As always, oodles of love and prayers.<br />TariAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020445546224051384.post-1371016896145224722009-07-01T21:27:30.293-07:002009-07-01T21:27:30.293-07:00Hip,

You are a stronger man than I am just to be able to do that yourself, I would rather wear Depends than do that. They must of ordered microscopic tubing for you. lol<br /><br /> I know at least me, John, Jerry and John's dad are going to attend the golf tournament but we are waiting to see if others may be able to join from the plant and tie it into a territory visit with key customers. I know that Dennis and Kurt have busy upcoming schedules so we will see. I will be sure to fill out the invite once we know the scoop.<br /><br />Keep your chin up and keep fighting!<br /><br />Brian HeineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020445546224051384.post-46772289784096965052009-07-01T21:09:31.726-07:002009-07-01T21:09:31.726-07:00Andrew-

Glad to hear you got to enjoy a beer. (Much-deserved after those strenuous workouts!) Luke and I think of you often. You are in my prayers.
