Hey Jimmy ~ If you and Miss Amy need a night out, give us a call. We'll be down in a flash :wink:

My thoughts and prayers are with your Bro and entire family.

XOXO

I don't venture into Off-Topic Forum all that often and just came across this thread.

Just want to toss in my best wishes for a speedy, full recovery. Sounds like your bro is a fighter, as is the rest of the family.

Just remember to never give up. I have no doubt your bro knows that too.

Jim,

Sometimes it just seems like we can't handle all that has been dealt our way. Please just hang on to your faith and family. That includes us. They are your strength.

Steve and I have your brother and you and your family
in our prayers.

Thanks again, to my STJ family, for the well wishes & prayers for my brother Paul.
As we all know, upon our first visit to that beautiful island, life can actually be serene, even with its' quirks... whether you've been there once, ten times, twenty,or however many times...it's delicious.
To those that responded thus far, thank you for remembering the name "Love City".
-It means the world to me.
As mentioned before, hopefully I'll soon get to read all of your well wishes to Paul & his wife Kathy about the warm wishes from around the world that all share the similar affection from that place called
Love City...
We all met there, in spirit...
I'm a very lucky man to have this avenue available to vent about my brother's situation.
I just didn't know what else to do,nor whom to talk to.
I suppose I just figured that we all share the same heart, and I'd feel better...
STJ owns my heart & dreams.-
My Serenity...
Everyone who reads this knows exactly what I mean.
I love you,Bro.
Paul Francis Katona, AKA "Squirrel",-
I can't wait to take you there!
Smiles-
Jimmy & Amy
P.S.-
Miss you, Bug! (Mr. too...)
Will probably enlist your help with the nuptials this fall...

Good morning, all.
Thanks for your continued support for my big bro...
He's ,again, going "under the knife" for yet more surgery on his legs. They're all busted up...
He's allowed to be "awake", but still highly sedated.
He's not all that cognisant (sp?).
Good news is that my twin sister Joanne is flying in from Japan to visit him.
She's the best. Cooler than Amy & me put together!
Just hoping he doesn't catch any more infections from his horizontal state in that hospital bed. That can be spooky.
Harry The K said it best-"High Hopes..."
Thanks again for your well wishes, and always
Smiles-

Jim, glad that your sister is coming. Didn't know you were a twin!!

I know your brother is going to be ok. I just have a good feeling about it.

Will continue thinking about your family and saying the prayers.
