Hi Joel,

Very clever disguise...the black mustache will look great with your black tights. I think that your very shapely legs will give you away though. I'm so glad that you've made the move to the park.You've achieved so much in just 2 weeks. We'll come for a visit after you've had a chance to get settled.

Love you,
Shannon, Blair and Sean

Hey Joel, i just got back from vacation and i've been thinking about you ever since i heard about the accident. I'm incredibly sorry that this happened to you but you're so positve i just know you're going to be fine! I'm so happy to hear that you've moved from the hospital to rehab!

My sister's best friend broke her neck in a car accident, it was c4 or c5 i don't know. she was thrown out of the sunroof and landed 80 feet from the car. After surgeries and much therapy she regained the use of all her apendages. it's as though it never happened.

I'm so impressed with this blog and how you are doing! thinking of you and wishing you all the best...

let me know when you're ready for more visitors, and let us all know what you need.. books, food whatever...

Hi Joel and family! I'm happy to hear you're recovering and keeping a positive attitude - you and your family have always been very warm and upbeat people, you're lucky to have each other. I was very worried when I received the news on the other side of the world.

Sorry I can't make it to the fundraiser at the Globe, I'd be there with bells on if I was anywhere close to Regina :0) I'll be sure to forward it on to everyone at home though.

Much love from Down Under,

Aymie :0)

Hey Joel,

Havn't checked the site for awhile but I wasn't surprised one bit to hear you are still improving every day! I made sure to have a few cold beer and some good days on the boat at the lake for you this weekend. You are a celebrity everywhere because some people heard about your accident at Emma!

Enjoy your move!

Take Care,
Kirb

Hey Joel,
Great seeing you this past weekend. Hope ya got a chance to sneek in a couple of those Mini Donuts. You looked really strong and like you are well on your way to a full recovery. There is a group of us going to be there at your fundraiser. Garns and I are super stoked as it gives us a "reason" to drink lots of beer. Hope you get your continued "hot tubs" in Wascana. On another note......Garns and I are still dumbfounded on how the Rabbit made it in one piece to Fernie.
Later Dude Bro,
PJ

Okay - apparently you are some kind of media darling! I've been on the phone all morning gathering quotes for you...Gabe just did an interview with CBC and I'm going to see if I can find Brent to do another with the LP.
See you tonight tough guy.

Hey you....

I heard you said it was because of me that this Corner Gas fundraiser was happening? I just want everyone to know that it is because of YOU! Because you have impacted a lot of lives, and because you are a wonderful person with so many wonderful days ahead of him. Now don't get TOO big of a head. Mine already takes up enough space! I will see you later this aft...and I promise I won't eat all of those chocolate almonds.

--You know who I am....
