Well three weeks to go

Bob, please let us know how your are. I know, prayer... eeewww! But as long as I am praying anyway, I will pray for you.

The very best of luck to you!
:)

it's in it??? That is one hell of a bad streak you seem to be on but the good thing is, you're due for a break. I think you know I'm not into praying but my best wishes go out to you. You can think of your doctors telling you there is nothing wrong with you, that a crack in your head won't fix and I certainly hope that's true. Best of luck to you.

Your Borg name??? How about Unit 42, the 42 being from the HitchHikers Guide to the Universe. 42 is supposed to be the answer for what is the meaning of life. With you in mind, 42 seems fairly apt at the moment. Once again , best of luck to you Bob.

or Bobbie Borg. Another possible is Highcut of Borg - in honour of the surgery. ;)

I simpathise with you, I had surgery back in Feb on the back of my head at the very top of the spine to have a Nuchal Fibroma removed - first time under the knife and it scared the beejeezes out of me, they are still running around the place. ]:)

I'll have an extra, very expensive, stainless steel screw after this Monday I'll just flat out give to ya'.

------
Somebody has been watching out for me. Since they've been on light duty over here lately no doubt they've got the time to watch out for you now. I've already put in a request for them to do just that.

I just noticed something else too. It has been a pretty fine day today hasn't it? Thanks for making me realize that.

Getting over what your EX put you through, and now this.

I hope in the next three weeks, you don't leave anything unsaid or undone.

While I like veggies, I would prefer you didn't become one of them.

Best of luck on this.

Research has shown that people who go into surgery with positive expectations of recovery always fare better than those who don't -- always. There's power in that brain of yours, and now it's being "stimulated".

Keep the good thoughts, my friend. Keep the good thoughts. And post a new discussion in August telling us how well you're doing!

A Borg name? Well, Seven of Nine is already taken. So is Bj?rn. How about Bj?rn of Certitude!

And much more importantly [b]Have Fun[/b] chase the nurses around although if your luck is anything like mine you'll be stuck will an [b]All Male Nursing Staff.[/b] ;)

And [b]Borg Sounding Names[/b] will be totally unnecessary unless of course you insist that they leave the [b]Electrodes In.[/b] It's a fairly painless procedure with the only real discomfort being that you have your head and upper Torso strapped into place so you can not move this allows the Surgeons to place the electrodes in the right place to have the [b]Best Effect.[/b] ?:|

Of course if after they insert the Electrodes they get a [b]Jacobs Ladder Effect[/b] that will be a totally different story and you'll be able to walk around telling everyone that you really are a [b]Bright Spark.[/b] :D

After it's finished you'll feel like a New Man and be unstoppable so I can't wait for your return we'll all have to duck for cover you'll be so lively. :0

Col ]:)

How, lad, hows ye gannin'?

eeh, ah diven't knaa lyek, yees fellas'll de oot te be noticed!

Seriously, Bob, aal the best.

I don't know if you still have my email address, but let me know cos I have an idea. Can you get your new other half to email progress to me, so I can keep the TR peeps updated? You know fine well we're all going to keep tabs on this one.

Keep positive and concentrate on getting yourself better. Have a goal to achieve - like getting back here for a visit!

I'll personally buy you a few bottles of Dog. If you haven't been over it yet, I'll even walk you over the Blinkin' Eye

There.

You have it in writing, too.

You know fine well I'm rooting for you, Bob.

Keep in touch - or else.

Cheers, marra.

:x

Edited for the hell of it

We will be sure to see you back here in a few weeks, healthy as a horse.

What the hell. Some Borg jokes.

My name is Borg - James Borg - license to assimilate.

I am Porky Pig of Borg. Prepare to be as... assa... assim... I'm taking over.

Ferengi-Borg: Insert Coin for assimilation...

Borg, James Borg. Vodka martini, Gin is irrelevant.

I am McCoy of Borg. He's assimilated, Jim!

I am Butt-Head of Borg. You will be...uhhhhh... It says ASS! This is cool.

I am Sinatra of Borg. Start spreading the news. We're assimilating today. You will be a part of it: the Borg, the Borg.

I am Yoda of Borg. Assimilate or do not assimilate. There is no 'try!'

I am Quark of Borg. You will be assimilated. But with the right amount of gold pressed latinum, I can overlook your resistance.

I am JFK of Borg. Ask not what the collective can do for you, but what you can do for the collective.

I am Elmer Fudd of Borg. Be vewy, vewy quiet... I'm assimiwating wabbits. Heh heh heh heh heh.

I am Heisenborg. You will probably be assimilated.

I am Dirty Harry of Borg. Go ahead, resist us. Make my day.

I am Telecom of Borg. Connection is irrelevant. Modem will be assim +++ NO CARRIER

I am Homer of Borg. Resistance is futile. You will be assimmm...mmmmmm Donuts.

I am Monty Python of Borg. I wish to complain about this 'ere assimilation you sold me not half an hour ago...

I am Nixon of Borg. We are not assimilating you at this time. Trust me.

I am Ice-T 'o 'da Borg, motherf*cker. Low and behold, your sorry ass is about to become assimilated, man! And if you think you might be able to resist, we'll tell 'ya about futility, you irrelevant sucker!

I am Monty Python of Borg. Nobody expects the Borg assimilation!

I am Mick Jagger of Borg -- I can't get no, (pause) assimilation.

LuxemBORG: The European Community is irrelevant.

I am Dirty Harry of Borg. This is a Borg ship. The most powerful type of starship in the galaxy. In all the excitment, I can't remember if we already assimilated you yet. So what's it gonna be, are you going to be assimilated or what? Do you feel lucky punk?

I am Hamlet of Borg. To be assimilated or not to be assimilated? That is the question. Whether resistence is futile or not, aye there is the rub. To be assimilated and perchance to have funny things stuck into your head or resist and encounter more superpowerful entities in future episodes.

Well what is there to be said that is not yet said.
Come back kicking in in a hurry, that will do the trick for me, telling that you're well and doing great.

Best of all luck.

Rob

Have good luck, take the time you need for recovery and keep your family close. I'll say a prayer for you whether you want it or not.

One more suggestion, if you're having this done on Stampede Day, reschedule.

Oh, suggestions for a new monniker? Sorry.

Take care, man. (I'm praying already.)

Wow thanks for all the kind words and thoughts. 2 weeks to go.

Sorry the note is short, I'm totally off the meds now so I find typing really difficult.

...because I know they are all heard. I am adding many of my own to the list! I can't imagine how stressful a time like this can be for both mind and body! Just try to relax as much as is humanly possible, and remember how many folks are keeping you in prayer - it sounds like you are really getting a lot of it. And that's a good thing.

I know how many different beliefs there are about prayer and God and religion and all, it's crazy sometimes. But, if you want to know...(if not then you can always just ignore this post...) I have been walking with God for nearly 30 years now and know that he really does hear and answer prayers. Every one. And that he really DOES love us and want us to know, more than anything, that he really does love us. And, in more than 30 years, has NEVER let me down. Just one person's experience. So wherever you are personally in your relationship with him is fine. No judgement or any crap like that. That's not what love is about. Just know that you're not alone and that the one person really in charge of life - really does love and care about you and all you go through in this crazy messed-up world.

So, blessings and strength to you, Bob! We look forward to hearing from you in July!
