Spinal surgery for Joe :(

Well, there were somewhat bad news – although not very bad.

Joe found out that he had some spinal cord problems that require urgent surgery around his neck. The surgery team will need to fuse several vertebrae to make sure that he keeps full use of his limbs.  Surgery is tomorrow.

This is probably unrelated to his cancer – but it may have been partially caused by some side effects of the chemo.

Joe is game, as always.

Nov 16 Packers Party CANCELLED

We were so excited at the Friends Of Joe’s to close the year with a great potluck Packers Party with Joe, right before his surgery!

But – something happened. We had planned a whole party around a noon game time start, as published in the official season schedule. We had no idea that the NFL can actually change game times mid-season. Last week-end, the NFL announced a game time change to mid-afternoon.

Between the logistics difficulties of the change, and the concerns about a late afternoon party for all of us with an early school start the next day, we finally decided today that we needed to cancel the Packers party 😦

It’s really too bad…

So, if you want to support Joe, please donate right now, or buy a Friends of Joe’s shirt right away!
