I must have missed something. What happened to Farmer Dean?
Long story/short...
About three years ago Dean was diagnosed with intestinal cancer.
He went in for surgery two years ago and after the surgery developed an abscess with infection.
He spent most of the year in the hospital in and out of ICU. At one point was so near death he couldn’t move or speak.
By the Grace of God he recovered and eventually went home.
Now nearly a year later he has developed another abscess and is back in the hospital.
