I just spoke with Steinar

Post by Mike Neer »

Steinar wanted me to tell everyone how much he appreciates your words of support. He said, "There are no words to describe how they make me feel. Thank you so much. I just want to give everyone a group hug."

They are talking about treatment for the tumor but can't move forward until they have the results of the biopsies. He is still in great pain and will have to stay in the hospital and most likely a sub-acute rehab for a while, since he really cannot do anything for himself at this time. So please, continued prayer, good thoughts, positive energy, it's all appreciated.

I only haven't posted here before because I don't know Steinar and thought maybe it was presumptuous of me to jump in.

Then I finally went with my gut. Steinar, I know this must be very frightening for you and I hope you find relief from your pain and a very swift and full recovery. My good wishes go out to you and yours.

Steinar,
If the depth of feeling and admiration for you as a person, and your musical contribution shown here were enough, you would be whole again in no time.
I add my good wishes and thoughts to all the rest here and look forward to your return.

James.
