I've heard from Jon and the news isn't good. He's hoping to get better treatment soon but is pretty down right now.
I asked if I could pass on information about him to our family and he agreed and said to say hi to all. Please keep him in your thoughts, he's a good guy and I personally miss him.
Good to hear from you! I hope all is well. I've gotten
sicker again
unfortunately. My kidneys started going downhill again, and
then I got
Clostridium Difficile (deadly gut bacterial infection) for
the third time in
a year. The first two almost killed me. This one they caught
early enough to
treat it before I got as bad as last time.
I ended up having to leave my teaching job last month
because the pain and
illness got to be too much unfortunately. I was really
excited that I was
feeling well enough to teach again. I loved teaching. It was
who I am. Then
the illness just took over and I had to give two week's
notice. They begged
me to stay, and I tried so hard. But the inevitable happened
and I quit.
I've been getting sicker and sicker since I've been home. I
don't know why.
Doctors are stumped. I've been on "suicide watch" with my
family for the
last few weeks unfortunately. I don't blame them for being
worried. But it's
the way it goes.
I got to watch the Hawks today. It was great to see them
play and play so
well against the Giants. My wife and kids watched the game
with me and
cheered the team on. We all had a good time and it was
no-stress whatsoever,
which was good!
Say hi to everybody for me. I hope to get feeling better and
that I'm able
to drop in and say hello to the gang. I just don't feel I
have much to offer
because I am so negative about life and I know I have kind
of a reputation
for being a negative naybob anyway, so it's kind of a bad
combo. I wish I
could be myself this season and enjoy it with all of you. I
was supposed to
come to town and watch the Hawks play the Titans, and about
3 days before I
got really really sick, and had to cancel. My wife had to
fly up by herself
for a wedding, and I've been feeling progressively worse
since that weekend.
Not cool.
Jon is only 40 so this kind of thing really sucks.
