This is Doris (David's wife). Just writing to let you know the David is in the hospital. He went in Thursday with a collapsed lung and we are usure how long his stay will be. We just wanted to let you know what was going on. He is at Lourdes Hospital, Paducah Ky, Room 425. Due to his need for rest we would ask that you not call the room at this time. We will update you on his condition and please keep him in your prayers.

Thank you
Doris & Family

Doris, please give Dave my regards and wish him well. Hopefully a speedy recovery. I'm sure I can speak for a lot of guys here on the forum too!

How did his lung collapse?

Give my reguards to Dave.. he is in my prayers for a quick recovery, and a speedy return to what he loves so much. To make him feel "at home"...spread a few car parts around his hospital room..maybe some oil on the floor will help too!! :jester :jester :jester
