I talked with Blackie on the phone about five minutes ago. I told him that he's not sick enough to be a Democrat and he seemed very pleased with my diagnosis. He's going to be in care for around six weeks, out of his home, so he could be a whole lot happier but at least he knows he's getting the attention he needs where he is. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He's one of the best.

Thanks!
Thanks Shaggy, Wish all the best for him.
"Turns out he has a bacterial infection in the spinal fluid."
I wish Blackie well in his recovery. Though I don't know him well, he's in my thoughts and prayers.
My dad had a very similar thing happen (bacterial meningitis & complications), and it's a tough road to recovery, although he was 67 when it happened.
Glad to know they have it under control and that he is on the road to recovery. Should we do get well pictures here? Does anyone near him have a laptop that they can take into his hospital room? He could freep from the hospital.
Prayers being offered for the both of you.
God bless Blackie, get well soon.
My goodness, that is a truly frightening ordeal. I'll remember both of them in my prayers.
Well, hope he's better soon! I hope he has a laptop to freep on while he's there, too.
Blackie's sick.
I surely will. I would not be surprised if they do in the end have to drain the infected fluid from the spine.
Prayers for blackie and his beautiful Diva.
Hang in there! God Watch over you both.
Thanks for the thread shaggy.
Please tell Blackie that here in Idaho our family will be praying for him and his full recovery and looking forward to seeing him here on FR again soon...in the mean time, tell him to take care of himself and tell his wife that our prayers are with her too.
,,, exactly what technology exists for.
Thanks for the ping mate. Glad to hear things are on the mend.
I just spoke with him also.
