    It's a hard pill to swallow, sorry to hear about your plight and I imagine its rough on you and your family. You seem to be riding it out well in your attitude towards it. I do not have a very westernized view of life and death so for me, I wake up knowing everyday may be my last so I milk every moment :) best of wishes to you

    It's not that hard to swallow. I was thought to be dead twice in 1968. Then in 1970 they shipped me to the British Military Hospital in Hong Kong for 21 days. I was suppose to be dead long ago on what I say 5 occasions. I beat all the odds. I honestly feel I've been blessed by a power greater than myself. I'm not sure it's a God.... I just think it's life. I was raised a very strict catholic. I really lost all religion in Vietnam. I saw no reason for what I went through and saw. I still see it daily in my heart and mind. All I know is... my life is changing really fast and I probably don't have a lot of years/time or whatever left. I can live with that. It's all borrowed time. Give me drugs and don't make it hurt. Keep my mind strong and let me beable to tell people like Len in Maryland and Rick.... and my soul mate of all soul mates, Chuck... that I've enjoyed the ride. Other very important soul mates are Doc Johnston... my medic from my first tour, Sgt Ray Roberts from Wisconsin.... the ultimate Gi and Retired Lt Gen. Richard Gravess. Kudos to PJ Davenport and the rest of my crew. My platoon leaders, Willy, Stu and Lyle Pernie. They were fearless. They were killers when it was needed. I never met better in 2 years.

    Well I told you on the other site that we're hoping for the best.

    But you have to pull through Wednesday so you can see Michigan State beat Duke and I can gloat.

    Best of luck to ya with your battle buddy.

    I'm sure you've been through worse as a vet, and have a lot to look forward to as well regardless the outcome.

    Keep your head and spirits up and you will be victorious, but sad to say Michigan won't.
