Well the boy is doing well. Betty brought it to my attention I should post something as to how he is doing so I shall. When my son came to live with us a little over a year ago he weighed 622 pounds. Since his surgery he is now at as of last week 478 pounds. He has not seen that weight since high school. He watches very closely what he eats. At a month out almost he has yet to throw up which is a very good sign. He will spend all of July in Salmon Idaho cause there are a lot of women up there that are single. His leg is healing very well and some scar tissue is starting to show up with the incision now being only a couple of inches long versus the original 8 inch incision. He threw his pole and chair in the car the other day and went fishing. did not catch anything but had a good time. I am v ery proud of him and only 78 pounds to go and he gets his pontoon boat.
That’s fantastic news! Sounds like he’ll have his toon soon. Go Robert!
Bob,
Thanks for the update. What we have here is yet another FAOL Community Success Story…Of course we left the HARD work to Robert, & he seems to be doing a fine job.
Mike
Incredible!! I’m so proud of him! Keep up the great work! And keep us posted. Hugs!
Bob, IT’S ABOUT TIME!!
I know, “you went into hiding”,after that lunch you and I and “Rugs” all had together in Portland, when you were here and you’d promised ME “a new pontoon boat, too, if Robert lost the required weight”!
But, you know, I wouldn’t hold you to such a deal my friend! The new “rod, line, reel and waders”, deal is MORE than enough so don’t worry about the new "Toon at all and keep posting updates on “our boy”.
(aside, Bob… when Robert goes up to Salmon, where all those ladies hang out, DON’T give him any of YOUR advice! There’s no use him starting out with a disadvantage like that, hanging over his head!)
Great news Keep up the good job!
Bob.
Give him a big thumbs up for me. He’s doing great!
Make sure he does what the docs tell him to, and tell him to stay away from Raw Cauliflower. It’s murder.:mad:
HarleyBob that is fantastic news, I am sure the single girls will have to watch out!
All the best.
Mike.
I am very proud of you, Robert! Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to all of us!
Bob,
That’s incredible progress! Please tell Robert we’re all pulling for him.
Jeff
Robert thanks each and everyone of you for your continued support. Lew my wife and daughter had the same surgery so they know about the raw califlower. Paul I don’t remember anything about the rod reel line and waders but then I went to the store the other day to buy some of those memory pills (can’t remember the name of them) and forgot to buy them so who knows what I may have said that LOL.
That’s some terrific news! Glad Robert is mending, getting out and fishing, and about ready to chase some girls. Can’t ask for much better than that!
Vicki & I will keep y’all in our prayers.
Great news! Sounds like everything is continuing to go the right way. With all the single ladies around, he just needs to make sure he finds one who likes fishing too!

Robert…
Keep up the pace and look nowhere else but straight ahead!
Be strong, have faith, and keep a smile on your face at all times. Live for each day and don’t worry about tomorrow…you’ll know what to do when it comes 'round!
Take care,
Bad Luck Larry
