I've read your stories and I envision a gray haired man with a weathered face, each crease having a tale to tell, sitting by a fire with a whiskey in hand. It's been said that "no one here gets out alive". True it is but not all have touched the lives as you have, sir.
I can't shake your hand, so I will just say thank you.

Here is what I said.
Close , Daveman , close.
I\'m trying to get comfy as we speak.
I now have a hospital bed in my living room , in front of the TV and close by the fire place.
I am on a memory foam pad (developed by NASA I believe) because I am down to 108 pounds now and have become rather skeletal. I also have an oxygen machine that goes 24/7 but I only use it half the time.
My darling beautiful wife has learned to operate the intraveinous machine for my daily saline .
The morphine right now manages the pain but it tries to fu#k with my mind so I had better write something before I start talkin garbage.
I am hoping to have a friend type for me when I get set up with a laptop for the bed so ..........I am not done yet.
I have some spiritual stuff to share.
