Hello everyone, things are looking pretty good now. I had some issues with my lungs but the doctors believe I'll be fine. My blood-work is still a bit off but better. My back injury is healing with little pain now.

The only thing left is the injury to my right shoulder, and it's still a big problem. I still have a ways to go on that.

All-n-All I feel pretty good, and I'm getting back to a normal routine.

Thanks for all of your well wishes and prayers, it made me feel really great.

Still praying Phil!

Are you going to have surgery on your shoulder?? I have heard the surgery itself can be pretty painful,but the relief afterwards was well worth the pain.

No plans for surgery yet... But it may come to that.

The main thing is I'm on the track to recovery - so you guys no longer need to fight over who gets my gear and hat.

You are too kind dear friend! Now,just so you know,I am not looking forward to getting my hands on any of your gear anytime soon,so get well!

Glad to hear you're doing better.

**gryffynklm** · 07-15-2010, 11:40 PM

Good news, thanks for the update. Like Nell said, still sending prayers.

+1 on everyone elses' good wishes.

**Rick** · 07-16-2010, 09:15 AM

That is good new, Phil. Keep an eye on Nell, though. If you see a truck with a deer on the front pull in your drive way...lock the door!!!!!!!

Last night I put an order in with Safe Zone LLC and used my gift certificate. Now that it looks like I'm going to live, I figured I might as well use it. I ordered a few things, and of course I went over the $50, but picked up some good stuff.

Thanks again to everyone, your a good bunch of people. (I don't care what anyone says!)

**Pal334** · 07-18-2010, 05:54 AM

Excellent!!! Enjoy

**Old GI** · 07-19-2010, 10:12 AM

Damn!!! I sure like that hat.

Hang in there. I've had to adapt to various complications from my misspent youth as well; the normal suspects: back, shoulders, knees, hearing, fingers, etc. I'm sure you're strong enough to adapt and get through all you get dealt. As others here - our prayers are with you. Dave

Well I got my package from Safe Zone LLC yesterday and was very pleased.

I ordered the following items:

Cold Steel Bushman - standard blade
Water Purifying straw
Military Speed-hook
Survival Playing Cards
Mora Knife - 612
QuickClot Sport 50

I've already whittled down the end of one of my walking sticks to fit the Bushman knife handle. I hear that the wild pig population is getting out of control.

I'll be teaching a wilderness survival class next month and I can always use more gear.

Thanks again for the gift certificate.
