today is saturday the 26th of september and it is one very rainy cloudy day here in the central highlands of

north carolina. ive not written much lately due to an illness, rocky mountain spotted fever. . .

i was placed in the hospital and had a drug reaction which combined with the fever nearly ended my

life. i had a heart spasm during my stay , not quite a heart attack , but it sure felt like a heart attack to me.

any way, i survived to tell about it. and folks, injectable doxycycline in the liquid form hurts like hell when take in

an iv fashion it burns worse than hellfire .

so im home now, having missed the first two weeks of the hunting season i am still weak and fighting back to get my strength

back . i lost 23 lbs and still have the shakes in my left hand . for those folks who prayed for me, i appreciate it so much . i hope that

yaway blesses you and your families throughout the fall and winter months to come bubba
