Hey Jon,

Really just been hoping to find you, I have had you in my mind this entire time because I feel a bond with you unlike others. I am a longboarder/skateboarder as well as musician. Played bass for 15 years and havent touched it in months. Right now I want to but still cannot feel my shoulder from the neck dissection. You have inspired me through most of this and I wanted to tell you that I tell myself my outcome will be the same as yours. Pathology results tomorrow, thanks for reading if you did.

Nathan
