Default **american Hp Update***

Hello, my name is Jennifer Gooss. I am Jeff's (AMERICAN HP's) wife. As I am sure many of you know, Jeff went into surgery earlier this weak for spine surgery. He has asked me to give you guys an update...

His surgery went perfect. He is still in a lot of pain, but is getting progressively better each day. He will be leaving the hospital tomorrow evening and coming home. He is not able to walk on his own, but can walk slowly for short amounts of time with the help of a walker. Within a couple weeks he should be walking around pretty good.

I think that he is going through withdrawls from this forum. This forum and all of it's members are so important to Jeff, and I think that this may be his favorite passtime. I want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers and I know Jeff can't wait to get on the computer and talk with you himself.

Jennifer Gooss

Jennifer,

We met briefly at Synergy.
I hope to see Jeff at SEMA.
If not, I will be calling him on his cell in a couple of weeks.
He is a very good man and I hope God blesses Jeff, you and your soon to be new born.
The feeling is mutual by the way,


P.S. The people here, also help me get away from many of my duties and responsibilities as well and I have made many good friends across the country.
