Hey Stud,

Like johann said, enjoy the drugs man. You are pretty much an action hero already and now you will have some steel in you. Maybe it will be titanium or even Adamantium, that would be sweet. Leave those nurses alone.....hahah screw that work 'em. See you when you are out and we will get some plan together for a pimp raft!

ps. google Joel, he actually comes up!

Joel, I have had you in my thoughts and prayers all week. I heard about the accident from Carolyn D. Good Luck today. I am wishing you a speedy recovery and before you know it you will be back at the beach. I have been reading the notes and comments daily for updates and from what I have read so far you hold a special place in many peoples hearts and you have so many people who are behind you and praying for you.

Wishing you once again a safe and speedy recovery...

Hi Joel,
Brent Butt here. Sorry I couldn't be there to perform your surgery today, but I've taught your doctors and nurses everything I know about this kind of operation and they seem like pretty sharp cookies, so I know you're in good hands. Nancy and I are sending all our positive thoughts and vibes your way. Take it easy, take it slow, take your meds, and get well soon. All our best.

And Joel, we are overwhelmed with your STENGTH & COURAGE, you are an amazing young man. We could all learn a few things from you....keep up the good work! Kerry & Cindy

Joel I know you're under right now getting fixed up but I wanted you to know that everyone out here at the beach is thinking about you and how you make things so much brighter. Get through this and you can help us plan Fernie 2008! see you soon.

Joel - want you to know our thoughts are with you. Just in case you haven't been paying attention - I'm the guy who does the stupid things that we all laugh about years later. If you are going to things like this on an ongoing basis you are going to have to find your own village.

You're amazing! Be strong!

You are probably in surgery at the moment....so I am wishing you positive thoughts every minute. I know you are going to kick as in and after the surgery and I cannot wait to see you and find out just how much better you are doing since the last time I saw you. All of the girls are wishing you well and have you in their thoughts as well. I will come and see you as soon as I can. Missing you so much and cheering for you. Love you-Ju

Joel,

I'm gonna shotgun a couple "Pilsners of Recovery" just for you. This is the only way I know how to show affection, so I guess you have to take what you can get...

In all seriousness, all of my thoughts are with you. Good luck!

Hey Buddy, I am not sure if you would remember me (Ken) but I am a long time good friend of your cousin John. Together with your brother Josh we have been skiing a few times together and have hung out numerous times during the Holidays you spent at the Bogard's in Calgary. I was shocked to hear from John what has happend but I know from your childhood that there is a really strong spirit inside you and you will make it through this as long as you don't give up and draw strength from the many many people who love and care about you. I just wanted to say that the thoughts and prayers of myself and my family (wife and three daughters) are with you (as well as your parents) and we all hope you stay strong and come out of surgery with your same sense of strength and determination. We love you and wish you all the best. You always struck me as a great kid with a huge heart and I know that because of this, with the help of friends and family you will be well.
Thinking of you from Our hearts to yours...be strong, you are loved and you will prevail.

Gwen here. Just finished reading the update and progress you are making. Wow. I am in awe of you and your strength and courage. With the love and help of your family and friends, you will do it my friend. Keep up the great work, I know it is hard, tiring and frustrating at times. What in life isn't??
Love ya and see ya when I get back to Regina from holidays. Keep hassling those nurses, keep them in line.
