Sick List Update from Bouncer Smith: Hello all !! Thanks for the support and prayers, from so many ! My first operation (right leg) was last February. Balloon type. First of 6 surgeries. After failed surgeries, I had a bypass surgery (leg) on the 4th surgery. Well, the plastic in my leg, became infected. Causing eventually to my 6th surgery. Bypass two. Along the way, I was diagnosed with sepsis. Not expecting to survive, I was shipped to Philadelphia. It was touch and go.After Philly, shipped to a rehab. I didn't visit my home for 3 months. Currently, I'm learning to walk. Using a walker. I lost 55 pounds !! Still rehabbing. Again , thanks to all, for your prayers, as well, as your support. Bouncer Nov. 15, 2024
