Good News! Joyce is Back Home!
After several setbacks,
Joyce
is finally back home. She came home last week after Rich made some
modifications to the house to accommodate her wheel chair.

The
past
year or so has not been happy for Joyce and Rich Tisovec. Joyce wasn't feeling well, and while
we were enjoying a holiday meal, Joyce was undergoing tests. The news wasn't
good. She has pancreatic cancer.
She
is having treatments here in The Villages, but in a few months, she'll be
heading northward for some delicate surgery, returning home afterward to
continue her treatments. She's feeling pretty rotten right now and this is going
to be a long haul. She and Rich will need our prayers to get through this.
Send cards to:
Joyce Tisovec
2427 Kingstree Place
The Villages, FL 32162
Rich will see that she gets them.
There have been numerous studies over the years that have investigated
whether the power of prayer works. Researchers like
fewer
doctor visits, fewer hospitalizations and were generally in better moods than
those in the control group. "Prayer may be an effective adjunct to standard
medical care," says cardiac researcher
They
wouldn't allow her to leave until the modifications were made. She
is sooo happy to be away from the boredom of being hospitalized and
being in rehab.
She has nursing care, physical and occupational therapists come to
the house now, which has improved her spirits considerably. So, if
you want to stop by and visit, please call ahead so you don't come
when she has or is expecting home therapists.
She
wants you all to know how much she has appreciated your notes,
cards, calls and prayers. She feels good right now. Of course, she
still has cancer, but she's feeling better now.
Please
continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers since she still
has a long haul ahead of her.
