I don't know Walter, but I'm sending some T&P's his way and wishing for a speedy recovery!

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

He's reportedly improving. He got spined in the leg, I heard.

Microbacteriosis, it seems. No joke. Be careful handling fish, everyone--especially if you see lesions on it.

Walter is a character alright. One of a kind is putting it mildly. The world needs all the Walters it can get. So tell the goofy SOB to get better, Rob.

I'm glad to hear that news he is improving Mike
that really sucks to get that and we really have to be careful, it can happen to any of us, scary stuff. I have been stabbed many time, I bet even choggies and other fish can carry that bacteria.

I hope your friend gets well soon, he has a lot of people pulling for him.

Apparently he had a setback yesterday--the infection started to spread again. I think they mentioned that he was seeing the doctor today. His meds were going to run out today, anyway.

Big Time Prayers...

I got sick...blood went septic from getting spined a few years ago on MV during the Derby. Thank God it was the infection that takes something like ten antibiotics to get rid of rather than the one that kills/eats human flesh.

Big Brayers again!!!!
