    GatorGrowl has asked me to update everyone on the last few days.

    He suffered two minor strokes which the doctors attribute to AFIB.

    I've talked with him frequently and he has remained in very good spirits.

    He was taken to the hospital where he spent several days but he is home now.

    He won't be around for the next couple days as he is getting used to things again. For example, texting is difficult right now so please don't send him any texts. Thanks!

    We've missed him . . . I know I've missed him . . . and I'm sure we all hope his recovery is complete, fast and as easy as possible!

    ETGator, as always, we appreciate your contributions, and thanks for this important update. David has always been a huge contributor for as long as I've been around here, (Kind of like the backbone of the whole GC operation) and he has helped me personally on several occasions.

    I'm sorry David is going through this. :(

    David, we are praying for a speedy and complete recovery. Blessings... and may the Good Lord shine his healing light down on you and heal you arse up. I hope you have some folks nearby to take care of you.

    ET thanks. Please, keep us posted.

    Thanks

    Go Gators.

    Growl...you've only missed a couple-three days of practice. The coaching staff is holding a spot open for you. Heal up, we'll need you on the field ASAP! o_O:eek::D

    Smile, people love you! And, it's great to-be a Florida Gator. ;)

    Go Gators.:)

    Prayers for a full recovery. Strokes are a life-changing event so praying his doctors can find a better blood thinner.

    I am getting better but it is slow for me. Things I was doing a month ago I have to learn all over again. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
