Made contact with Gene last night. He is improving. Said the major back pain moved from side to mid to upper back, then in his shoulders. Then it has gotten better, just dull pain. Looks like the prayers were chasing it. He can now sit up, get out of bed and walk some on his own. Trying to build strength. Hopes to get back to somewhat normal. He hopes to go fishing again. Let's pray for that to happen. "D"
