Bill has taken a turn in the wrong direction. Everything was starting to look good and he was able to drive to DDM to pick up his slingshot as well as bringing it to Welters to have the exhaust done. He had a doctor visit yesterday and was hospitalized. The bone infection had returned and to keep it from spreading too far as well as to save Bill's life (my words not his, but he's dealing with a bad infection) they had to amputate his leg just below the knee. It appears to have worked, but I'm sure they're going to keep an eye on it for a while. Bill is resting comfortably and on heavy pain meds, so if you don't hear from him for a while, you now will know why.
Bad things happen to good people at times. He's come through a lot so far in the past 3 years. Let's pray that he comes through this and is able to get back to enjoying his retirement and slingshot events soon. Angie is by his side helping him get through this. She's his rock.
We talked about Eureka Springs and we're both pulling for each other to make it there. So there's some comfort in knowing that the two amigos are helping each other along and we both will beat whatever obstacles are placed in our way.
Bill, I'm sure this posting is going to get more than 50 likes, so when you get home you'll see just how big your family really is. You da man Bill. Glad you're part of my family - or more importantly, I'm glad I'M a part of YOURS!
