Double O Needs Happy Thoughts

"I'm falling apart and I can't wait to die," were Double O's exact words.

Tomorrow the man has an appointment with a chiropractor to view x-rays he had done on his back a few days ago. L4 and L5 on his lower spine are both messed up. This, he believes, is a flare up of his LSU football ending injury he received in a scrimmage against Univerisy of Miami. He has pain from his feet to his head and today his knees buckled while he was on a ladder and nearly fell into a big hole. It would be kinda funny if this wasn't so serious. You guys remember how much of a trooper Double O was on those bike rides and I've been with him on multiple 3-4 day hikes. The man has a tolerance to pain I could only wish for.

Aside from his back problems there is more. He hit his head really really hard on a propeller two weeks ago and he's worried he might have fractured his skull. No shit. He can't comb his hair (like he ever does anyway) without extreme pain. Yesterday he hit his head in the exact same place on his van and it nearly knocked him out. I ordered him to mention this to the Doc tomorrow and he promised he would.

Thirdly, his guts have been folding him over in pain. He said it's not gas and it's not reflux and it's not anything he's ever experienced before. Guys, he's in so much pain his eyes were watering and his face was turning red and he couldn't speak full sentences. I'm really worried about our friend. I'm going to call him before he goes to his appointment and remind him that he PROMISED to mention it. I'd go with him to insure such info was relayed, but I have to work.

Fourthly, and I hope lastly, his hands still have the "Uncontrollable Tremor," and it's happening more often than before.

He may want to die, and I don't exactly blame him, but I don't want him to die and neither does anyone else. Double O needs our happy thoughts and our prayers and our encouragement. I got him out to Leroy's tonight, just to get him "out" of that Duplex of Depression he's living in.
