I spoke to Juan briefly today.    He couldn’t speak for very long because he gets winded easily, but he said that his recovery is going to take at least another three months.   He was told it would take at least six months after his surgery to recover and it has been about three months.    He sounded weak, but said his spirits were high.     I told him he was in all of our thoughts.  He appreciates all of the support and asks for continued prayers.     We all miss him and he misses being active on the Forum.

  Sounds great that he's doing well and continues to improve.  Will be good to see him back here.

Sure appreciate the good news.It may seem odd to some to care about folks you have never spoken to but I believe we have a real fraternity here that is pretty rare these days.I will continue to pray for Juan and his family,I know these kinds of things are hard on all concerned.
