Carl:
You have had so many offers of help, it is truly amazing. But, until you want to help yourself, all the help WE give or want to give is useless. The offers of pooling money, the offers of getting you meds, the offers of places for you to stay, the offers of collect phone calls, etc., etc., etc. All of these will be futile attempts to revive a soul that is slowly dying. Prove to us your soul is NOT dying. Show us you want to help yourself. Show us that you can at least brush a little of "it" off. I know you are hurting and I now it will be hard. But, I know you can do it. Teach us how to be strong. Get back in and fight. And don't let anyone throw that last punch except for you!
Now, I know you are an intelligent guy. How smart can a mule/jack-ass be??? And he helped himself!
I hope you're not mad at my "suggestion". I don't mean to put you down. I just feel very strongly about this.
God is with you--never forget that!
