    Good morning Ray,
    Sorry to hear about your discomfort and am praying for relief.
    God knows your situation and hasn’t abandoned you brother. Please listen to Too Good To Not Believe. You are His child and you are loved.
    Great to see others here supporting you in prayer as well!

    It goes up and down. Since the beginning of 2023 I’ve been in Lakeland General Hospital 3 different times about a week each time and then each time into a rehab center for about 10 days. So I’m in a rehab facility now and at the last few days feeling pretty good. Even got to check on GC a little bit. Then Saturday night it all hits me hard again. Strong pain. I had hoped my younger brother cold take me to Church on Sunday morning but that might not happen now.

    Hey Ray-

    Yeah, I guess the uncertainty of your situation is a bummer. Ya never know when you'll get smacked upside the head with pain and suffering. I hope the bad days are fewer and good days become more frequent.

    Bazza-nice shot. Hanging 11!:rolleyes::eek:o_O

    Go Gators.;)

    Simply because it's so bad-ass! (+1) Hanging 10 doesn't do her justice. :star: (Borrowing loosely from Spinal Tap for this comment.)! ;)


    Go Gators.:D

    Hope you’re doing better Ray. Just had a pacemaker implanted. Cancer wasn’t enough to deal with!!

    Getting older can suck but glad we’re still around.

    Sorry to hear dawgfan, though I suppose it would make you feel better. Besides, the alternative is prolly poor.

    Whelp, yeah, getting old isn't for the faint of heart.

    I'm currently on 'hold' with chase customer service 1 hour and three seconds...I'm aging just sitting here. "we value your business..." Yeah, right. "Please stay on the line..."

    If I only had a missile launcher. "Please God, wish them all to the corn fields..." I mean that in a loving and nurturing way.:eek:o_O:p

    Heal us all! :)

    Go Gators.;)

    Lakeland, Florida USA.
    Still trying to be optimistic but it’s not been easy in 2023. I’ve been in Lakeland Regional Hospital 3 times in 2023. About 8 days each time, then spend about 8 days each time in a rehab facility. Pain hasn’t disappeared, not at all. It’s on left side of my head and neck right now. But that pain can be in different areas at times. And if that couldn’t be enough right now. Another problem has showed up, and it really concerns me. I don’t think there is any medication that can handle it. And I think it’s been getting a little more serious the last last several days. So please keep me your prayers.
    RayGator.
