Paul needs prayers and/or a kind word.
He is struggling with pain and mobility. I just got off the phone with him after receiving his heart-tugging text.
I can't explain it as well as he so I will let his text do it:
"Rusty, hope all is well with you. I have missed the camaradarie of the old drift gang. They sure were a helpful distraction during trying times.
I have suffered with sciatica down my left leg. Just as that was improving, I developed a flaming case of cellulitus in the same leg. Leg was swollen, red, inflamed, tight, and painful. Instead of letting it develop into sepsis, i did the fool thing of going to the hospital. IV antibiotics and then they started making over my a-fib.
I was there almost 5 days. They let me out of bed once. Now I am weak as a kitten. Leg is not red or inflamed but still has swelling and pain. Hurts the most just trying to sit up. Must see improvement. Appreciate prayers. Sorry to drop this on you...but i figure you will have a thoughtful and witty barb to goad me forth. lol
Give everyone my kindest regards. I ain't dead yet and plan on mounting a triumphant return...just as soon as I can master the commode again without pain. Hi Ho Silver!!!"
Paul, you are a great friend to Ruthie, the kids and me and we will pray hard for your healing and comfort.
All my love, my brother.
