Joey was pretty sore today. The surgery he had on his amputated leg yesterday was causing him a lot of pain today. Joey tried to get some rest for most of the day, and tried to get comfortable enough to sleep.
This evening the doctors put Joey on a morphine drip to try to ease the pain, because his other pain medications weren't curbing the pain, from the large hole they cut into his amputated leg yesterday.
We are hopeful that in the next few days, Joey will start feeling better, and the pain will be more manageable.
We want you to know Joey that we all love you. We wish we could divide up little pieces of your pain amongst us all, and make these big trials smaller. Unfortunately, this is your mountain to climb, and although it is a monster of a mountain, you can and will make it to the top---and we will be here for you---cheering you on with every step of the way.
You can do this! You can conquer this beast! We love you so much! It hurts to see you hurt, but together we can get through this! We all love you Joey! You have so many people that care--friends and family, thinking of you, praying for you, and just loving you. Hang in there! Sunshine is coming. . .

Hey Joey, as most of my friends know, I'm kind of a dork... a cool dork in my opinion. And in times of opposition I often quote my favorite quote which I got off of that chiropractic sign off of 17th street, the ones that always have quotes. I read it when I was in high school and I have always liked it. It says "A good sailor never sailed a smooth sea". We all have trials to endure and it is not easy, but in the end it is worth it if we endure it well. So be a good sailor Joey! You are in the middle of the rageing sea! But we love you and know you can do it!
