A Request

Remember when I told you about Uncle Chuckleberry's staph infection?

Well, unfortunately it's not gone completely. As a matter of fact, after being on some very aggressive antibiotics with some really nasty side effects, he is being put on stronger antibiotics with even worse side effects. He has already lost about 50 pounds. He can't really afford to lose any more.

Folks, I'm really worried. My uncle Chuckles is not a young man, and he's the closest thing to an emotionally-involved and functional dad I've got. So even though I don't normally do this, I'm asking you for your good thoughts, your healing vibes, and your prayers for his complete recovery.

I appreciate it.
