I talked to JockMike2 today

Blog entry by Karson posted 243 days ago 353 reads 0 times favorited 23 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I’d been to try and call JockMike2 for the last few days and I never got an answer. They had disconnected their home phone and were only using cell phones. And it was never answered.

He had surgery on Wed and they removed his pancreas and a lot of fat around it. He was in a lot of pain and had a tube down his throat since then. He got it out today and he called me.

I got the call sanding in the line at the Chantilly Woodworking show, We talked for a while. He had been in a lot of pain, but he is feeling better.

He wanted me to thank all of you for your prayers for his surgery. He said that he is going to the Dr on Monday to find out if they got it all.

So please keep him in your prayers.

Let me know if you’d like to contact him. He’s not sure when he will be able to get back on-line. I hope it is soon.
