    Still About

    And thats been about all, March 1 had a lung taken out, Had troubles with heart going wild, 180 0ver 100, 5 times or more,You fellows must of been praying hard,The 2 nd. morning I was at hi fib. 2 nurses and 4 doctors working on me, Iwas on top of the bed and cold. I felt warm hands on my feet, a few minutes later my heart went back, 4 days later one morning Iwas awaken by my name, there was a blue light on above my bed and a lady was smiling at me, she turned and was gone, Then 2 nurse came in and looked at the montures and said he is back?? Ill never forget the smile on her face.
    The pain has been unreal, They gave me a bottle of 150 morephone last week, It helps, I started to sharpen a lead pencil last week and hurt so bad the I finished it today.
    Hard to ride in the car as of cracks in the road, I go to the mall and walk a little, Going on 5 weeks now, I got my swiss vetterli off the rack today and the wieght was to much.Lost 20 bs. in 2 weeks now. Still have cancer in the other lung, in a few weeks on a high power chemo and they will not do surgery on it. I read our town on here about 10 times a day to have something to read. You fellows will have to post more. Its good reading. I got 3 shoots comming up but I got to get better fast, But I will make it, I got that new Dillion and a Kimber carry 11 in 9 MM to try out, Thanks for your prayers, dont forget me,Its been a long 16 months, Thanks- Smokemjoe

    Good to hear from you. Even cancer can often be faced down by prayers and a stubborn disposition. Hang tough and keep us posted, we'll keep praying.

    While I do hang around here a good bit, I post very little and have not gotten to know many members on here - to include you. However, as a fellow caster and shooter, you got to be a good guy!! Will be thinking of you and wishing the best for you .... hang in there with the attitude you have and things will get better!!

    Kick it's butt, Joe!
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Good to hear from you again, Joe. You keep swinging. We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers. I'll have a similar story to tell in a couple of weeks, but that's another story for another day. Mike

    Still praying, Joe. Keep the faith, and keep trying. Don't push to the point you hurt yourself, though. We do have a tendeny to do that!
