doublegunshop.com - home Forums Thread Like Summary - Der Ami - Under the Weather....

Ford(Curtis Michael Ford) aka Der Ami is a bit under the weather in rehab in Opelika, Alabama and like to have died due to being stubborn about going to the doctor with an intestinal infection, not virus. By the time they diagnosed the issue, he was in dire straits and COPD almost got him. With 78 years, he is doing better each day & progressing but has about 20 additional days in EAMC(East Alabama Medical Center) and has been hospitalized since August 15.....


I had noticed that Ford had not posted in a month, which was very odd & it took me a week or so to catch up w/ someone in the know.... I know I look forward to seeing Ford back on the board soon.....


Serbus,

Raimey,
I'm back, I may not be well, but I am learning what I can and can't do. A month and 5 days in the hospital, mostly without my Neuropathy meds, set my legs back. I'm hoping to be able to go back to a walking stick, from a walker. Are you OK? I just thought you were likely on the other side of the world either working a job or hunting.

Let’s pray for a speedy recovery!

Easy, does it Mike. In our prayers, we'll see you back here, a little bit down the road.

Thank you, Raimey, for doing the legwork to check on Mike. Will be praying for a complete and speedy recovery.

BTW, "Run With The Fox" (Francis Morin) has not completely recovered either, and hasn't rejoined us. Remember him too, please.

I appreciate the thoughts and prayers of the members here; it's humbling to know so many people care about me. I was lucky with the COPD because my cardiac doctor caught it early. I hadn't smoked a cigarette since the night my first grandson was born and he turned 30 right after I got home (he also sent an ultrasound image of our first great grandchild; even with the problems, I'm lucky).
