Ode Of Thanks July/1/2001

[WebMistress]

I can never seem to come up with sufficient words to express how I feel. So, I'll simply say that you guys & gals of the NTBA are THE GREATEST in every way. The words below probably won't be sufficient either. There's no place like the NTBA.

I'll have to sign off now cause I can't hold my L. wing up to the keypad any longer. But, I thought I'd mention a couple of things.

Thank the Lord that I only had orthoscopic work on my L. shoulder, they didn't have to lay the entire joint open like they did w/Clark Kibler.

I have 2 small slits (1-1 ½") on the front of the L. shoulder. When Dr. Hamm got in, he found no tear, so he only had to remove 2 large bone spurs, which caused all the pain. I had to stop taking the meds cause I'm not doing well when I take them.

Orthoscopic or not, there's pain involved. I start therapy tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. cst, so, if you hear some screams, that would be me! I'm supposed to have 12 of these little 'rendezvous'! Don't know how that's gonna be possible with me leavin' for OK City on the 11th.

Thanks Everybody,

John

Ode Of Thanks


It seems that not everyone prefers the Model T,
However, it's always been the favorite for me.
Now, the NTBA promotes the T, don't you see?
And, as a member of that family, there's no better place to be.
The one who believes this not, has a head like a tree,
And that certainly doesn't say much for thee!
You NTBA'ers are THE GREATEST, I say that with GLEE!
With every word you post being most assuredly free…

When, from surgery, I did not flee,
I saw your posts, which exceeded sympathy.
Each one given with great felicity,
You about brought this ole guy to his knee,
Showing concern for any he or she,
Who might need help in our family.

So I'll say, "May God Bless Ye,
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers given unselfishly.
And please don't lose this 'Special Bree',
Cause the NTBA has the BEST 'People Recipe'!
