JB's still in the hospital so FC decided to send him a bouquet of get well wishes - complete with a silly smile, amarathus hair-do and a few of those famous loose screws.
Hope he and the nursing staff got a good chuckle from the high art. :>
(And thanks to Twila for having a great sense of humor and creating this one-of-a-kind design for a one-of-a-kind guy.)

Wazzup, Twila???
Jon's still in???

Love the arrangement, if only the "hair" would be white, not yellow!
Seriously tho...we need an update, please!

I sent his Dr. a PM and said that I needed some "time off" so please keep him in for a while...just kidding:>
The bone culture has produced nothing yet, but his dr. still thinks that is what the problem is. They have called for help to the Oregon Health Science College in Portland to figure it out. They put in a "Pick" for the IV antibiotics. I goes into the forearm over his shoulder and into his heart. After the terrible ordeal that he went thru getting the IV in the first nite, he was pretty nervous about getting that. But was pleasantly surprised that he felt nothing while it was being put in.
If nothing else produces with the cultures, as he says, "at least they took out that @*%$@* screw. And he kept it for the proof!
His spirits are pretty good, but he misses you guys and his computor something terrible. We THINK (like every other day) that he'll be going home today. Time will tell, I guess.
Thanks for caring so much-it means a lot to him

We can all chip in to get him a laptop if he can have it! I've been telling him for ages he needs one 
(Or I can lend him one of mine!!)
Thank you for keeping us updated and I'm glad his Drs are finally figuring out there was an issue.

Twila..tell Jon to get out of the hospital and go home... there was a big segment on the morning show about how dangerous hospitals are now with this new super bug... guess we wash our hands more at home than the doctors and nurses do in the hospitals.
Or send his wife to guard him and make everyone who comes near wash their hands...
My brother had a bypass a year ago and the site in his leg where they harvested one of the veins got infected.. He had to go back to have it cut open again.. then everything healed up fine.. tell Jon to do the same and heal up better this time.

I send into the Cosmic Mind thoughts that are directed to you that will work in harmony and conjuction with the Cosmic Conciousness in every cell of your body to help you return you Health, Wholeness, Harmony and Peace Profound.
May everyone else who needs healing also benefit from these thoughts.

Well, I must say, I find it extremely intriguing that when JB returned to FC he immediately took the Gay-O-Meter test! Hmmmmmmmm....
Wishing you well!

Refer to Joe's post above...
I think he may have to go back in again for some re-tightening...or even replacements, with that 50% Gay-O-Meter result.
OK here's the problem as I could discern it.
On the motorcycle - it is very important that the nut that connects the handlebars with the seat is neither too loose nor too tight.
It must have been one or the other that fateful day.....
Thanks everybody for your kind wishes - it's great to have friends, many you've never even met and many I call close friends.
They opened up my knee completely - over 90 minutes of trying to get an IV in me and finally the dick anasthesiologist (sp? when) gassed me to sleep so he could brutalize me without me screaming and got one in me. More unpleasant than the whole deal. Yes I was screaming when he was gouging about in my foot with a needle that must have been the size of a harpoon.
Now as things have developed - the culture they took from my bone hasn't grown anything - and the internal doc told me he doesn't think I have bone infection (osteomelitis or something like that). But they are going to treat anyway for it, so with this PIC line I have in me - I brought home these little expandable douce bag looking things of antibiotics to plug into the line - 1 size of golf ball the other a hardball - 2 different ones each morning (at a cost of $165 each).
So I get 6 weeks of this, more pain meds for a while, and less than full effficiency I'm sure - laying in the recliner in my office.
I so appreciate all the good wishes and also well I came to and there's these flowers but something just didn't look right about these new flowers that had appeared - I look closer and wtf there are SCREWS in it on the end of chenile sticks? Well you're a bit slow when smashed on morphine I guess.....yes - took me a minute or four...the cute hippy sunflower with amaranthus hair deal - awesome and quite cute so thank you very much to the friends involved in that as well.
Ahhhh, another day in the life I guess.
Man I'm gonna have fun next summer, so this is all to prepare me for that.
Thanks guyz, luv to you all.

And love right back to you! What good news that you are home! We're hoping and praying that your recovery will be quick and easy.
Jon... I'm glad you're home... for there's no place, you get the idea.
I am well and truly sorry you are going through such a horrendous (character building) time. But I love the fact that you are looking beyond to next summer. That's the positivity that will carry you through. That and the love and support of your wonderful family and of course your friends, seen and unseen.
Hugs to you, carefully of course.
