    Happy Sunday Big Ray!

    Well....we finally got our first SEC win yesterday in basketball after losing the last two. Home game vs. Arky. We play Tennessee on Tuesday on the road. 7pm on ESPN. We will need your support so hope you can tune in!

    Much love from all of us, my brother! :emoji_v:

    Morning, Ray. Hope all is as best it can be for you this morning. Since it has been a couple of years with some of the same pain, same areas, symptoms, etc. Have any of your doctors given you any reasons as to what may be the underlying cause? (If this was already addressed earlier in the thread…my apologies as I didn’t see it).

    Since 2021, my dad has been in and out of the hospital about 5x per year, often due to UTI that gets worse ( sepsis when not treated at time) and causes other complications. He repeats a similar pattern as you have experienced - a week or so in hospital followed by rehab. Doesn’t have the pain you suffer through though.

    with the pain you have and the specific areas I would hope that doctors could diagnose what causes it.

    anyway, hope you are doing ok. We have March Madness for our gators starting Friday and that is always a great time of year for college hoops!

    all the best,

    Spike

    Good afternoon Brother Ray.....

    A nice poem for you today!


    The Winds of Fate

    One ship drives east and another drives west
    With the selfsame winds that blow
    “Tis the set of the sails
    And not the gales
    Which tells us the way to go
    Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate;
    As we voyage along through life’
    “Tis the set of a soul
    That decides it goal
    And not the calm or the strife.

    Happy Easter. Passover is still a ways off, April 22, but blessings to all.

    I managed to get a short cold here. Wife is gone, kids' at college and I'm here sick. Ugh. But...I have another ski trip scheduled, off to Mammoth Mtn starting Tuesday

    I hope those in need of healing are feeling their prayers are heard. God Bless everyone.

    I hope we all get the love and healing we need.

    Go Gators
