A sincere thank you

[John Miller]

I’ve been thinking hard about how to word this letter. 


Your wishes, prayers, thoughts, and
 Generosity, is overwhelming, and is helping a lot.

THANK YOU ALL.

 I thought I had worked out a safe install for the new antenna.
It wasn’t as it turned out, and the antenna got close enough to 7800-volt line
That it arced over. 

I never lost consciousness. I never want to go through anything like that again.

 
After the power stopped buzzing, the voltage released it’s grip, and I fell from the roof I had been kneeling on to the concrete patio. My muscles were contracted so tightly, and since I landed on my right side, fortunately, nothing was broken in the fall.

There was a remarkable series of events, that actually saved my life, and within ½ hour, I was in the best burn-trauma center in the country.


I’ve been here over a month now, I’ve had 3 operations, and I’m going in for another in a few hours. This, one is to help repair the damage to my right kneecap where most of the electricity exited. Since I was kneeling, my feet where spared, and currently, I’m actually walking pretty well at this time.

There will be a few more surgeries, and months of P.T., but I have high hopes for about 90% use of my hands, and the return of feeling to my fingers.

I ask those of you who pray, for your continued thoughts, as you converse with God. It works, I know it.

For all of you my most sincere, and heartfelt thak you for the strength and love you share with me.

Bless you all, you who share this same passion, are the best. Blessings and thanks.

Hi John,

Dear friend, I'm so happy to be reading your letter. I went back and reread your January 2012 Control Line World article "What a Ride It's Been.." and enjoyed it all again.

You've got a whole bunch of friends who think the world of you, I'm certainly one.

Take care of yourself and get well.

God bless,

L.

John,

We've never met but I've read your stuff here over the years. What a remarkable story, God was obviously with you throughout and is with you now. My prayer of both thanks and healing are with you and I hope maybe to meet you someday.

[Lester Nicholson]

Father God, on behalf of John Miller I come before you in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord I simply ask you to heal his body in Jesus name and Lord I would ask you to restore him 100% and to use him for your kingdom and for your glory. I Jesus name , Amen.

[Tim Wescott]

John, I haven't met you, but I have enjoyed -- and learned from -- your posts here.

Get as better as you can, and don't sweat the little stuff.

[Andrew Borgogna]

Just get well John, nothing else matters at this time.  Good luck in your recovery.

[proparc]

The fact that your writing this letter is good enough for me. Can't post while your taking a dirt nap!!

Get well soon.

[Bootlegger]

  AMEN to what Lester said, in Jesus Name...

[Will Hinton]

Ditto to Lester and Gil's post.  Hang tough, John, God's obviously not done with you yet!  (Neither are we.)

[Gene O'Keefe]

As stated, God is in control and He WILL heal you !!

[Martin Quartim]

It's is great to read your words here John. You have been in my Small Group Bible Study prayers.


God Bless you my friend!

[Jim Kraft]

It is wonderful to see you posting on the board John, and I am praying along with others for your complete recovery. Here is hoping your knee surgery will go well with little pain.

[wwwarbird]

 It's great to hear from you directly John. Best wishes with the recovery process, whatever it takes. Looking forward to seeing you active in the C/L community again, you have been missed here. 

[Ty Marcucci]

Hang in there ship mate. See you at VSC.

[Mike Keville]

Welcome back, John.  I'll be looking forward to one of those gigantic hugs from you next March at VSC-25.

[Serge_Krauss]

John-

It's SO good to hear from you on the Board. Ypo've been one of the most supportive, kind, and and creative people here in the CL community and certainly one of the most advnturous; so I know you'll be forging ahead. But like the others, I've been extremely worried about you and have been sending you my best thoughts and prayers. You'll continue in my thoughts too!

Serge

[Randy Cuberly]

Hey Buddy,
Ya' had me worried there for a while.  I don't have so many friends that I can afford to lose one.  Sounds like you've come through the worst of it with flying colors.  Hang in there and I know you'll make a complete recovery...none of this 90% stuff.  Trust in God and the doctors and you'll make it to VSC next year.
Everyone on the forum and a lot of others that I've talked to are pulling for you and praying for you.
I can't imagine why everyone likes you so much but for some strange reason they do...personally, I think you're a hell of a fine gentleman and a brave soul...
Just don't ever do anything like this again!!!!  Ya hear!

Love Ya,
Randy Cuberly

[Chris Sarnowski]

Big John,  I hope you don't  mind if I call you that.   You are big in my heart from the day you autographed the kit I got from Ken Smith after Gordy autographed it.   I think  most has been stated already.   Now take care of yourself and the LORD willing, will see you again.

[Gerald Schamp]

John, glad to see that you are on the road to repair. Will miss you at the Regionals. Be well, Gerald Schamp 

[Eric Viglione]

John,

It's great to see you able to at least post a little and say hi to the gang.
Follow your Doctor's orders and the rest will come with time.

Get better soon,
Eric Viglione
