Howard thanks for the words of encouragement and the phone call this morning. Always great to hear from you. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Thanks Doc, sorry we will miss seeing and running with you at the fall Dragon.We have certainly had some great runs and times in the past. Good luck at Chicago 1/2 mile. You will have a blast for sure. I had wanted to join the group at Clayton GA 1/2 mile but not in the cards this time. I am still hoping to go as a spectator and support the Crossfire guys and Steve.

Med up date to all. I have been home for 3 days and it has been a week since the surgery. I was back to the wound Doc's yesterday and we hit a small bump in the path to recovery. I had noticed a small brownish circle had appeared in the middle of the sore on my small toe. You guessed it, it was the bone. Doc said it's got to go and I can say I did not spend one moment of worry or second thought. So I will see the surgery doc for his follow up tomorrow and will make arrangements for the amputation.

I am in great spirits and focused on saving the big toe. My trust is in The Lord and I will be healed.Thanks again for you thoughts and continued prayers.
