Please pray on this day, and every day, for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm's way around the world in defense of our liberty, and for the families awaiting their safe return.
That lead and green flag didn't last long, caution #5 as Shrub gets thorny and spinny.
Now if I could just learn ALL the nicknames you folks use....heh,heh. Seems every week I learn one or two more.
It will come to you eventually.
Hate to butt in during the race..........but good news to report. And a big thanks to Rick Hendrick!
Snip~
"Everything's well," Elledge said. "She should be getting up today and getting mobile and going through the recovery process. It is going to be a little while on that - as far as, we've got to make sure she doesn't get pneumonia, blood clots or things like that.
"Everything has been great. ... Things appear to be benign tumors right now - all of that looks pretty good."
Earnhardt Elledge got really sick a couple of weeks ago, her husband said, and went through a battery of tests leading up to the surgery.
"She's a very important part of my life, for sure, and the kids and Dale's life, so we need her healthy, that's for sure," Elledge said. "It had been going for a while with no real conclusion. ... It's scary. It's something that you can't prepare for."
She has not been feeling well since late January, Elledge said, and it was determined that she needed the surgery Wednesday. The surgery included looking at her spleen, gall bladder and pancreas and the final pathology tests will be known in a few days.
"It was an unusual thing that happened and sparked the surgery to be more intense than it needed to be," Elledge said. "It basically was a tumor that had gotten attached to a blood cell that had burst somehow and enlarged to a point that it was blocking a duct in her pancreas, causing the attacks [in her pancreas].
"He said he had never seen anything like that in his 10 years and hundreds of surgeries [the doctor] has done, which ended up being a good thing because of what they thought it was."
Elledge credited his doctors, including surgeon Dr. David Iannitti, for getting the surgery done quickly. He also said Rick Hendrick has been involved.

'Sno problem, especially with that good news.
Good to hear.
Meet the new boss; same as the old boss. ABC == NBC when it comes to restarts.
And we got an accordion on the restart. Caution #6.
After seeing that mess, I got to wonderin' how the COT will fare runnin' around without fenders etc. tomorrow.
It's no wonder Jr hasn't seemed himself for awhile.
And yes ABC has learned well on restarts. lol
The cable is broken at work, I was beside myself thinking I was missing this race.............but the red flag saved me. ;0 Not sure what to do about tomorrow.
It's gonna be a smashfest...it could take three days to finish!
As soon as some of them front splitters get dinged up, the front downforce is probably gonna go and they'll be all over the place...
Here we go green on 126 of 300
One driver whose opinion I like said you could still use that splitter/bumper but verrrrrrry carefully otherwise you will have it under the higher rear end of the car in front and the splitter will catch that cars rear wheel. And it's Ka..poof....to the garage.
Heck, we might see a heavily-damaged car win this thing.
And the Navy car is gone. Left-Turn involved again.
"Ka..Poof"? Is that allowed?..."KaBloowie, kablamo...but KaPoof?
Ooops there goes the 88 and 38, Leffler is finally done...caution 7.
How many wrecks has he been involved in today.....I've heard his name in every recap almost.
How many laps are left? lol
