    Words for my brother

    My brother Steve, board member elawolf, had spinal surgery a week ago. He now has extreme headaches, and they did an MRI on him today to try and track down the problem. Prayers for the easing of his pain please.
    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.

    Back trouble is a bad deal and lots of pain involved. I pray for Steve, and for his quick and total recovery. Lord may you help him to be pain free soon and back to enjoying life.

    It's working. They found spinal fluid leakage, and got it stopped. Pain is gone, but he will be in the hospital for a couple more days.

    Praying that he is done with the pain and is on the way to complete healing. Praying do work.

    I had to retire from life for quite a while because of a thing called cluster headaches. It's more like cluster torture...so I can identify with that horror.

    I'm so pleased for him...and you.

    Sure glad they found it quick. I've had debilitating headaches several times in my life and they just make you want to take a handful of painkillers and go to sleep, because consciousness is intolerable.
