Got an e-mail from blackie!
He's home!!



Hi everyone ~ I'm back from six months in the hospital ~ for those who Barb was unable to contact; I was diagnosed with a Spontaneous Epidural Abscess, the treatment for it was Penicillin "G" which was administered via IV 24/7 for six weeks.

Thanks to everyone for your prayers (especially the Santa Barbara SDA Church Prayer Warriors: http://www.sbsdachurch.com/ and to all of my friends on Free Republic:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1147130/posts
and for the phone calls, cards, plants, balloons and a little blue teddy bear from Alaska. :)

I'm pretty weak from six weeks flat on back so I won't be spending much time on the computer until I get my strength back ~ there almost 400 emails in my in box. :)

Ciao,
blackie

Just know that I am thinking of you, and praying for you.

Take care, and come back ASAP!

Thanks for the ping, Tonk.

That's about .0006 on the fun-o-meter.

SUCH A DEAL! :-)

Thanks for posting blackie's e-mail, Tonk. I started to send him a reply earlier but decided against it. With 400 e-mails in his inbox already.....YIKES! LOL!

So I'll join other FReepers here in letting him know we're all glad he's home at last.

blackie! With Barb's TLC, you'll have your strength back in no time. We've missed you.
