My dear Stephen. I am so saddened to read about these complications. However, I know well what determination you have and know you will work hard to return to normal. I also know what a loving spirit you have, and I strongly believe that all the love you have given others over the years will return to you at this time of need and help with your recovery. Sending love from Atlanta.

Dearest Stephen, I hope you will learn what caused the stroke, and that the correct little blue, white, yellow, pink, or green pills would prevent future strokes.
Here is a link to the Meditation audios that Kaiser offers to people undergoing surgery. They are divided into pre-surgery, and post surgery healing.

They have been effectively used by my Tai Chi Master for hip replacement in his late 60's, and my cousin for a complex back surgery. I can also send you a thumb drive with them on.
I pray every day that you will feel and be the way you would like, and that healing will take place.
Love, your biggest (tallest?) fan, Lee

Sending virtual hugs and support, Stephen.

Keeping you in the Light, Stephen. Lotsa Love, Demece, Sally, and Daniel

Thinking of you Friend. Will ask the Bible study to send prayer's your way.

Much love to you from Seattle, Stephen.

Shared with Lynne. Much love and virtual hugs.

Praying for a rapid resolution to the medical problems, my f/Friend Stephen. Many of us holding you in the Light this morning.

Hope you had a restful night. Can one get a 'good night's sleep' in a hospital? My memory is that they wake you up frequently to check your signs, or look at your wounds or maybe just because you looked so peaceful!! I'm pleased to see Diane Pasta's post, haven't seen or heard from her for YEARS! We were great friends back in the day. Please keep us posted, I too am hoping for the most optimal biopsy result. You have every reason to know you are loved, rest in that assurance. 😘❤️😍💞🎶😇😏🙏♥️, xo, Mickey E.

Sending love, Stephen. In the midst of all of this (and it certainly is this thing on top of that thing!), may you continue to find joys and beauty to enjoy.
