So, on Sunday Steve and Nick and I were having a nice time herfing, waiting for Shotgun John to show up. We waited and no call so, Steve texts him and a return text came from his wife. John was in the ICU after taking a fall off his roof. He was trying to clear a drain to the kitchen and fell, landing on his right side. He's got a lacerated kidney and some internal bleeding in quite a bit of pain. His wife said he would like to hear from you guys and I told her I'd pass this along with her permission. John is such a caring individual and speaks highly of his wife and child in glowing terms! He's also a very generous guy, always giving bundles out when we get together. Please pray for him and his family. Thanks guys.

    Cripes Amighty! Had that happen to a good friend of ours last month. Landed on his head. Dain bramage in addition to the internals. Lost about half his memory.

    Head on over there and take him a pie or something.

    I asked his wife if he needed anything and she said" He said prayers are welcomed and to smoke something amazing for him :)" so, that's the update. Hopefully, he will be discharged in the next few days, he's getting up and around with a walker and is finally eating for the first time since Saturday!
