Get Well Tom! #3 (AAA Memphis Rehab Assignment Brought Forward)

According to all reports Tom is feeling remarkably well, given the circumstances. I spoke with his mother this morning and she said that they are due to bring him back to Memphis later this week on a private airplane. This is great news!

If he were to come back on a commercial flight, he would have to sit upright for the duration of the flight. To be able to deat with such rigors he would have had to spend another couple of weeks in Nicaragua. The private flight means he can be horizontal during the flight, so he'll be able to come back much sooner.

Let's pray for safe travel, as well as for continued recovery.

Hey Tom!

I'm glad to hear you are recovering fine! You mastered a 15-hour bike ride (I still don't know you did that...;), so I'm confident this hurdle will also soon have to get out of your way!
Keep ya head up (I know you always do)!

Best wishes, Marvin

Hey Tom,

Just got the news. Hope the recovery in Memphis goes smoothly and quickly. Soon you´ll be back to the billiards tables in no time (and probably biking too).

All the best,
Dan

Hi Tom,
Welcome back to the States! We've been thinking about you a lot lately, and petitioning the Great Physician on your behalf. When you get back to Memphis, maybe you could post a picture to the blog so we can visualize where you are. I've been wondering if they went in from the back or the front for the surgery. Hope that's ok to ask!

Peace,
Alice

This is William Weaver, a friend of Tom's from Memphis. He had a good trip to Memphis and will probably have another surgery to reinforce his back on Monday. He is resting up and would love to hear from friends. He has a personal line where you can reach him: (901) 545-8785.
