Merry Christmas my friends.

 

first of all, I can’t even begin to tell you hell the timing of all this work out for me because I was able to go home for Thanksgiving the first time in several years. At the moment I’m facing the possibility if that is the last time I will ever be home for Thanksgiving. Since getting back after Thanksgiving my health started to decline and this past Monday night I was admitted to the intensive care unit here in Murphreesboro.

 

it’s too complicated to go into a lot of details but on Wednesday afternoon they took 14 L of excess fluid from my abdomen and that’s about 30 pounds worth of weight. The procedure went well but one of the possible complications from that procedure is bleeding. Typically they would have a specialist come in to do surgery to stop the bleeding but with Covid and everything else going on there is no one available either here or anywhere in the area to do that. So right now we are waiting to see if my body will take care of it on it’s on. Either I will recover and eventually be able to go home or I won’t recover and I won’t go home it’s really just that.

 

I just wanted to let you guys know because you’ve all been so very very kind and generous to me. Those who feel inclined to do so I would certainly appreciate your prayers. And just so you know at the moment I am in Saint Thomas Murfreesboro at 1700 Medical Center Parkway in the ICU unit room 231. I can’t possibly say enough good about all the doctors and nurses that have been working on me. But you know life is a journey and I’ve had a pretty incredible one and I am at peace with whatever happens. I love you guys and your spirit of generosity so I just want to make sure you knew what was going on. I will keep this updated as I know more. Merry Christmas and I really mean that!

Praying for a Christmas miracle for you to get better Robert and I think you  know that we all care. I live in Murfreesboro and had recent shoulder surgery but I can still get  around if needed so don't hesitate to message me if I can do anything for you.

Good morning guys. Just a little update to at least let you know that I am still awaiting the living. I’ve had some mostly encouraging news but still a long long way from knowing what the actual outcome is going to be. However, my doctor has at least give me reason to stay hopeful. Family arrived here from Ohio yesterday afternoon and we’ve had some great time visiting.

[AuEagle]

Great News Robert!

Prayers continue.

[Tuffus]

Good to hear. Keep on improving.

Hello my friend. I know my gold club getting good good home and was going to somebody who would appreciate it. One thing I know after meeting you is that you were the right one to get it.It was great to meet you and I appreciate the fact that it was you who was able to buy it from me. Interesting that you should comment on this now because just today I had to confess to my brother that I have sold it; I say confess because my plan always been that I would give it to him at some point in the future. He understood perfectly of course and what he said was that he just wanted to make sure it had a good home and was going to somebody who would appreciate it. One thing I know after meeting you is that you were the right one to get it.

Hello everyone. I want to do another update to let everyone know what’s going on. Please forgive any spelling errors or words that don’t necessarily make sense because for the most part I have to do this by voice rather than trying to type it out on my iPhone.

Whether or not I will survive this to ever leave the hospital is still  unknown . However most of the drugs  they had to use the past few days just to keep me alive are now down to almost nothing. Once I’m completely off those drugs they will be able to move away from the intensive care unit down to a normal floor. That does not mean I am anywhere near out of the woods but it does at least mean they can then start concentrating on my most serious problems which is congestive heart failure along with some liver and kidney damage. The ultimate hope is that I will eventually be able to not just move to a regular floor but actually be able to leave the hospital to some sort of new situation. 
 

assuming that is able to happen at some point in the future I will be moving back to Ohio to be with my family. Bottom line is that my life is going to change in a huge way and most of my independent living will be gone. I hope however much time I have left whether it’s six months or a couple of years  I can stay active enough to still enjoy life. One thing I can say without any hesitation here’s that I’ve had an incredibly good life with incredibly good friends and that my faith is strong enough for me to know that no matter what happens I WII be OK for me to live is Christ and to die is gain.

sometime tomorrow I will be making final decisions about things such as resuscitation and what kind of procedures I’m willing for them to engage in should they need to. I already know I’m not gonna have them do anything extraordinary but it will be OK. I can also say this about the people at Riverside Murfreesboro. The nurses and the staff here have been incredibly loving and caring people.

my immediate family from Ohio Will be stopping by again tomorrow morning before heading back to Ohio but my sister will be driving back down a little bit later on in the week and plans to continue to do so until we know more about what the future may hold.

I can’t begin to tell you how amazing and incredible the outpouring of support has been or how much your generosity has meant - all of you have proven just how wonderful the firearms community is . Hopefully I will still be able to keep you updated on where I am and what’s happening to me but  should that not be possible I want to make sure that you know how much I appreciate all that you have done.

my best wishes to all of you for an incredibly good year in 2021 and make sure you know all of you have made a difference for me!
