Re: Happy Easter from Ken, ....and other stuff)

[Guest guest]

Hi Ken:

I wish you the best of luck on your surgery, and pray

that you have a speedy recovery and are back on your

feet again soon, but no more scooter riding! lol.

I have a CPAP machine too, and it's a bit

uncomfortable at first to use, but you will really

appreciate how nicely it allows you to sleep more

soundly and restfully. I am glad that they did the

study and gave you the equipment, you will definately

benefit from it.

I am very happy that you are being taken care of so

well by the VA, that is exactly what should be done

for our military, and thank you, Ken, for serving!

Prayers are with you, my friend -

I'll be thinking about you tomorrow Ken. I can't blame you for being

scared, but you've got so many

friends here that are praying for you so please take comfort in

that. I'm so happy you're getting the medical care you deserve.

Anyone that risks their life for our country shouldn't have to worry

about medical care. Thank you for serving our country. Your surgeon's

hands are in my prayers.
