Prayers from here for Slummy's recovery, and relief for all family and friends involved.

Just got off the ph with him.
Good long talk.
Voice sounds alot more upbeat than what it did last week for sure.
That was reassuring to have him in a talkative mode.
Even started laughing and talking about the movie animal house.
I dont how we wound up at that??? 🥴🥴🥴🤣🤣🤣🤣
Covered alot of ground in areas of concern with good info and input from each of us.
Still got things he has to beat.
Told me today he has alot going on with dialysis treatments.
Might visit tommorow depending on his med stuff going.
Potassium is under control, and he explained in his in depth way how that affects all portions of body from brain to heartbeat.
Was a good talk °360 all around.
Me and him still have ground to cover face to face talking.
Alot of things cant be addressed via txt or ph call.
Got teams of med types in and out all the time.
Fugging with his sleep at times.
Nothing like hitting Rem stage multiple times and getting yanked outtta it.
The franken port in his neck is a PITA for him but he is dealing with it.
He knows you guys are pulling for him and he appreciates that.
He truly does.
👍👍👍
Talked about his mount and the lady taxidermist
Said his son jacob gonna get in his stash of cash at the house and link up with me for the taxi fee.
So that is taken care of guys.
And all the offers from many of you sent to me is greatly appreciated guys.
Things are working out in that matter.
Just had to talk to the lady and see if the ball could get rolling which it did.
👍👍👍
Things are looking and sounding better, but he aint outta the woods by far at all yet. But is starting to be able to take steps in the direction needed.
Still got ongoing battles he will have to fight.
The battles are probably not gonna go away per his overall health
But he will be able to hold his own from what we have talked about.
I know he is able to say things to me and me to him neither of us can broach with our own familes in a situation like this.
Basically blunt to the point factual discussion without fear of eithers feelings being hurt or injecting fear into a relatives mind.
Sometimes relatives can severely overreact which is a natrual reaction.
Basically people need a vent/ pressure valve release to a friend at times about stuff.
A process that one might need that family dont need to hear for various reasons.
You all know what Im saying....
Gonna txt/ call him later tonight see what he has on his plate for tommorow and maybe I can get down their and go bug him in person.
👍👍👍👍😁😁😁

Hurry back slum. I have some teasing yet to unleash about the battery powered saw. That's gonna require you to be in top defensive position.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Thanks Rene, I am sure this is taking a toll on you too, being his best friend and all. He must be one tough dude to last through all he has gone through. Salute to you both. Still a lot of tough days ahead and having you there says alot.
Between Gilbert and Slum, God has been busy answering prayers.
