Todd/Corey....

Sorry to hear the bad health news. Hope you are both soon on your way to a full recovery.

Will keep a candle lit for you guys... would have the wee ones do the same, but fur and hot wax... not a good combination. :no:

Stay strong.... hopefully your father will be rockin' the Lavaman suit again at Wildwood.



Will keep my nose glued to the monitor tomorrow hoping for good news.


ATB,
Sam

Alright everyone, the news is here:


Turns out they found out what the problem was, and is certain that it is it, and he is going in for surgery Wednesday. Unfortunitely this puts him in the Hospital for the rest of the week :no:
Hopefully, this gets rid of the problem completely and he gets back to a full recovery! It's been tough, but he's still holding strong.

Hang in there dad!!

Corey pretty much summed it up before I could gain Internet signal here, but here is my version.


Thank you again for the kind words of encouragement; however I’m not out of the woods yet. Long story short I walked into the ER Friday with a critical blood count, six units later along and a scan they discovered a mass. That news just about crushed me and after more test they have elected to remove this mass on Wednesday (hopefully). I truly thought this was heart related due to the fact that I was constantly short of breath and energy.

I ask of you PKF members to do this for me please; if you feel that bad go get checked. I am rather the hardheaded kind and refused to think this was something that I couldn’t cure on my own. This decision almost cost me my life.
I’m in good spirits for the most part but would be lying if I said that I wasn’t terrified of what will happen in the next few days. Until then I thank you for your support!

On to more bad news, it looks as if WBB is out for me however might be sending Corey to the show. Time is not on my side for this event.

Well Todd you have proven that you are a true man. Stuburn and thick headed like the rest of us. Now it's time to open up to your softer side and think about yourself. Having been in this type of situation in the past I know a lot of the thoughts going through your head. Ever should you need to talk don't wait. Give any of us a call and vent it out. The worst thing to do is keep it in and let it weaken you. Support is your friend right now. Reach out when ever you need to.:bigok:

I would like to say thanks to everyone as well for being so supportive of Todd and Corey. Those of you who know either of them know how much they love this sport and how much they love their PKF family. With this kind of encouragement, and some great friends and family by his side, Todd will make it back on the fields and beaches before you know it.

Todd, I wish you the best tomorrow brother! Time to get this step over so you can get the recovery started!


PKF family you ROCK!

Yes. And I would like to expand, on what is sure to be a sleepless night. The mere thought of being together with friends sharing a space in the sky is enough to bring a huge smile across my face. This is a special bond between us on how we share the stoke after every session, yearning and wanting more. I too want more and with time I will get just that. Short term goal is to fight stage I cancer and beat it into submission. I will not give up. Long term goal is to enjoy each and every minute cherishing friendships near and afar while living a healthy life. Can I do it? You better believe I can, just watch me.

Good night my friends...
