I spoke with Steinar yesterday and he is feeling better--strong enough to start playing his guitar, which he hasn't played in 4 months. He says it's a little difficult, but as he gets stronger it'll come back. He is eating well now. Still experiencing a lot of pain in both shoulders.

He had an infection last week which was very serious, but they seem to have gotten that under control with medication. He is in good spirits.

Hey Steinar,
Hope today is a great day!

for years, in my wallet I had this little tear-out from the back of a reader's digest.."Unknowingly, we plow the dust of stars, blown about us by the wind, and drink the universe in a glass of rain"
Another later, "forgiveness is the only way you'll have any peace"
Across the cyber-reaches, I think of you Brother

Wow, I didn't even see Steinar's post!

Welcome back!

In case you missed it:

Dear Mr Supreme

Please keep protecting all these wonderful brothers and sisters who have sent me so many good wishes, and brought so much joy and support into my life just when I needed it the most.

I don't know what I would have done without these good people, please take good care of them.

Also, thanks for the help and support You've offered me through these tough times. Please helpe me beat the doc's pessimistic prognonosis and keep breathing long enough to make another album or two.....

I'll be home for a couple of days next weeek, just to see how it works out it out. Hopefully this means I'll soon be moving home to my own apartement and start getting my old playing chops together. They sure need it..........

Stay with it Steinar!
Come on, all the way. Keep the faith, never give up, never surrender. I will, and others, will too, keep doing what we do best. I want to see the day, when I hear that fantastic talent once again, as it was. You can do this my friend, we are with you, and certainly "He" is too! Be blessed!

Steinar.....so nice to see you online again. Take good care of yourself and don't rush headlong back into the fray. Let your body heal and convalesce.
