Oh my. So terribly sorry to learn this. My prayers are with you Amber and your dad. We love him a great deal. We're an army of one around here, and when one of our own is experiencing difficulties .. the whole army feels it. Wish him our best. Palms to the sky.
Best, Terry.
The General of the UMA.
This is Amber again and I have a question? Is there a time delay on here? I see a post that my Father supposedly made today but he couldn't have?
What happened with my Mom was a day or so ago?
Thanks
Amber

His time setting is way off. If you let me know what time zone you're in, I'll fix it.
Speedy recovery to Dad!
We are in Pennsylvania so it would be Eastern Standard Time.
Thank you.

Amber,
SO sorry to hear about your dad...certainly not surprising considering all the stress he's been under recently. Please give him our best wishes for a rapid recovery. He probably received a package from me today. Please tell him i hope he's back home soon and that he enjoys the contents.
Best,
Mike G
Dear Amber-
Thank you so much for telling us. Be assured you all have prayers from here.
Sincerely,
-Craig W.
P.S.- I just packed up an envelope of silly little stuff for him, too...
Tell him I send my best too and wish him a speedy recovery.

Your father could really use a break. It seems like the forces of nature are turning against him. One catastrophe after another. This is ridiculous. Enough of this.
Hey, Universe! I'm talking to you! Leave this man alone! He's had enough of you, and so have I! So stop vexing him. Take your hands off and step away. His bad luck is OVER. Not one more thing will befall him. I am ordering you to STOP NOW. Your curse is LIFTED. Your test is CANCELLED. Be gone.
I think Tom will feel better soon.
Thank you for the news, Amber. Jane and I hope for your dad's quick recovery and are sending him a package.
Amber,
I'm very sorry to hear this. Poor Mr. Collins has been going through one bad break after another. The forces of nature really do seem to be working against him. I sure hope things get better for him soon, and I too wish him a fast recovery.
Amber,
I am saddened by this news. All of these bad breaks have taken a toll on his heart. I, along with the other members of UMA are praying for a speedy recovery & a great year because it has been extremely harsh so far. Let Mr. Collins know that he has absolute love & support from ALL OF US. Be blessed, Amber.
I'm really sorry to hear about your dad. You guys are having a real string of bad luck, my prayers go out to you all. My dad has had a couple heart attacks, too, and if it's any consolation; medical science has really moved forward in the area of cardio treatment. Hopefully he will be on the mend soon.
We just brought my Father home from the hospital.He's resting and hopeing that if he feels up to it to be on here later this evening.
On behalf of my Mother and myself I would like to thank you all for the sincere and kind post that you have sent us.We all greatly appreciate each and every one of you.
God bless you all
Amber Lynn Collins
Hey Amber, it sounds like it's been really rough on your dad as of late. Be his rock. Maybe curl up on the sofa with him like you were still his little girl and watch a monster movie. I know as a dad that would really affect my grim outlook on recent events.
Best wishes to you all.

A very special thank you go's to Ray Castle.The FOP has contacted us and said they will cover the cost of the roof if the insurence dosn't.It was you sending out e-mails that got me the help and I'll be forever grateful to you.I'm still very weak so I'm going go rest.Thanks to all of you,your true friends.

Tom, I am so glad to hear that you are back at home with your family. Put in a good DVD & get some R&R. You could use it & you deserve it.

I sure hope so! I don't no how I would have gotten through all this with out all you good people here.You all gave me hope and lots of encouargement that really helped me.

Hey Tom,
Welcome back home...good to hear that things are on the upswing. Now would be a good time to kick back and pop in that DVD i burned for you ,while you're resting. One of my favorite things to watch late at night ,when everyone is in bed with all the lights off. Enjoy and stay well,
MG
Rest easy, Tom. We're thinking of you.

Dear Lord, I'm late getting to this, but rest assured from this point on you will be in our prayers here.
Amber, I would certainly alert a supervisor at the insurance company that they have certainly contributed to this problem and that they better get there act together NOW!
Dear Tom. Your in my thoughts and prayers. Hang tough soldier. And as always .. palms to the sky.
So sorry I missed this series of posts!
My sincere prayers are with you...here's to a speedy recovery.
-Joseph Fotinos
Well I just found out that I go in on Thursday for the pacemaker.They wanted me in on Wednesday but I said no not on my birthday! I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm scared to death. I'm considered high risk because I have a damaged Trachea from when I was a kid and my Dad kicked me in the throat.This makes it very hard to insert a breathing tube.The last time I had surgery on my knee I went in to congestive heart failure and landed in the ICU.Another facter
is I have only 1 1/2 lungs I had half a lung removed from service injuries in Vietnam.
With all this I think I kind of have a right to be scared?
The 2 big things I have going for me is my belief in God and my family.I believe thats enough to pull me through anything.Please keep me in your thoughts and if all go's as planned I'll be home on Saturday.My daughter will keep you up to date on my progress and if all is well I'll tell about everything myself on Sunday.
I got a feeling that you'll be fine. 8) You have us, here, thinking of you & praying for you. Plus, your family is by your side & God is giving you strength. Be groovy, Tom! ;D
You have a lot of positive support here. Stay strong, soldier! That's an order!!! ;)
Keep your chin up and know we're thinking of you, Tom.
Positive vibes go out to you full force--and you will have prayers a-plenty in your corner. The monster troops are squarely behind you, Tom. Monster-love, monster-hugs!
Best wishes to you. That's a lot of stuff to have to deal with but we are all pulling for you.
My thougts and prayers are with you.
My thoughts are with you too. Stay strong, Tom.
I see you posting around a bit today! Good to have you back!
Mike C.
Thanks to all of you for all your good wishes.I'm still scared to death about the whole thing but I'm trying real hard to stay postive.The one thing other then the surgery that I'm not looking forward to is the long recovery time.I hate being bored! There wont be a hell of a lot I'll be able to do for a while.My wife was looking around to see if she could find any models I might like to put together.She said that not a lot of stores carry them anymore and the models she did see she knew I wouldn't be interested in.Both my wife and my daughter work so that leaves just my dog Bowzer for company.He a great dog but not much for conversation.lol!I'll have a nurse checking in from time to time and I also have a medical alert that go's directly in to the 911 center.
We're pulling for you. Keep fighting. You'll get through this rough period.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery and better times.
Chuck Jeffers
Best wishes for a dpeedy recovery and as little boredom as possible. Time to catch up on your reading!
I just got back a little while ago from giving blood for my surgery on Thursday.I wish that I could still give it on a regular basis like I used to.Ever since I've become diabetic they wont take it anymore for use on others. I strongly suggest if your healthy and able that you give blood.You never no when you yourself my need it and if enough people don't donate, it may not be there for you.
Just want to give a quick thanks to Craig Wichman.I really appreciate what you did.Thanks again.
No thanks required, Tom - hope you get a kick out of the stuff.
Prayers continue from here,
-Craig
Well folks I'm getting nervous as Hell! I got to be in at 5:45 AM and surgery is set for 7:00 AM
Amber will keep you updated and if all go's well I'll talk to you on Sunday or Monday.If I don't make it I'll try and e-mail you from the otherside ;)
Tom,
I'm sure i'm not alone in saying i'll be thinking about you tomorrow and sending out as many positive vibes as possible. My wife had recent hysterectomy surgery and although it was less serious than yours, She was surprised at how smoothly everything went and how well the anesthetic worked. I've heard from other people who underwent your type of surgery how they started feeling surprisingly better IMMEDIATELY after the procedure. My mechanic had similar surgery last year and said he couldn't believe how much better he felt upon waking up. He thought it was just the drugs, but the doctor said it was because everything was now flowing as it should be. Keep thinking positive thoughts, no matter how uncertain you are. Zacherley just spent 3 weeks at the hospital followed by another 3 weeks in a rehab facility, and although he didn't require surgery, his mind and resolve were as sharp as a tack and i believe it was his iron will that pulled him thru his ordeal. No small feat for a man about to turn 90... Stay optimistic and strong. We'll all be pulling for you.
Best Wishes,
Mike Gilks
Tom,
I hope that you had a happy birthday! ;D I am sending you all of my positive energy. I know that you will be fine & that all will go great. 8) You have nothing to worry about, so just relax & get a good night's sleep. We're all thinking of you, praying for you, & looking forward to having you back with us very soon.
Be groovy, Tom.
Happy birthday. Let us know how you are doing as soon as you feel up to it. Just don't come back speaking in Bela Lugosi's voice, ranting about having the strength of a hundred men.
