Glad you're OK, Mark.

Holy cow... 10-12 years. That's almost as long as I've been alive!

He also said he can have visitors and would be grateful for any that could come by. If I can shake this chest cold and get through this boat show, I am going soon.
He told me this came from an infection he has been unknowingly fighting for 10-12 years. They have loaded him with fluids and he said he is 20lbs heavier than when he checked in. Still very short of breath and a little hard to understand, but for us southern boys, he always was. Still got a battle ahead but sounds like he's ready to get out. He hopes to be out in time for the Superbowl.
So, if anyone can, he would love to have some company.
What he said, times 2..........LOL

Long story and will tell all as soon as my hands will let me. I love each and everyone of y'all.
