Mark, you were there for me through both of my attempts at c/t and you held me like a wounded bird in the palm of your hand with God's divine intervention. You are in His palm now and always in my prayers. I've missed you so much not a day has gone by that I haven't looked for you. No one gets away Scott free but we do get choices and freedoms and you are proof of that. I trust that God will do for you what you can't do for yourself. I am with you on your path in spirit; let the healing begin. I don't sense any fear in your post so you know you're being taken care of and are willing and prepared to put one foot in front of the other and stay clean and sober. I have faith you are going to come out the other side healthier and stronger. Sharon

So sad to hear Mark. Wishing you the best. Your certainly in good hands there. Your posts of wisdom have certainly helped me along. God will help you along. Although no one knows his plan and we often wonder why, he does know best. Wishing you the best...

You are a very special man with a very kind heart. Take care of you.. warmly lesa

The brain IS an amazing organ. I learned so much about it when my dad was sick. You and i have talked about this and i know you are in good hands with the medical staff you have. Keep us posted on what is going on. When do you find out if you are having surgery?
