The Dr's gave me a 50% chance to make it 4 more months. I know that they are not correct, and I can make it longer. I just want to get out to the ocean and go swimming and camping. Also we see my girls in October for vacation. My friends please email me so I can call you.

Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
Thanks
Ben

    Only you'll know when its time. NO doctor can accurately tell you what you feel and when you'll feel it.

    Stay well Ben. Sorry to hear of your health issues.

    Very sorry to hear this Ben. I will be praying for you and your family, of course. I pray that you are able to go swimming, camping and you spend quality time with your family. Take good care of yourself Ben.

    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Thanks guys. I still have a strong faith. I am not a quoted by any means. My family needs the prayers and I am going to prove the time allotted to me wrong. I love when I prove them wrong.
    Again thanks
    Ben
    You have done an incredible job of making me feel some more piece. It has been a big fight to come as far as I have and I won't go without a fight.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects.

    No one knows what the morrow may bring. That said. What is the problem? As I remember it you have some Hepatitis related liver damage? Right?

    Can't they do some kind of "transplant" and slow things down that way?

    Hang in there. You know our thoughts and prayers are with you!
