Hello Mark. I'm assuming your name is Mark since that's your sign in name. Anyway.....was this pretty recent that all this happened? Having your spleen out that quick is kinda weird. I'm also assuming that your weathered all the other stuff fine. Glad to hear your doing well.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
