Gary Carmichael Sr. Update.
 

I have just spoken to Gary and he wants to let everyone know that he is on the mend. The surgery went well and that he is expected to return home tomorrow.
Gary would like to thank all for their prayers and good wishes and his recovery is going to be long but made more bearable just knowing you guys are pulling for him. He hopes to see and talk to you all soon. Megan says he testy this AM so he is definitely feeling better. Updates will be forthcoming from Gary himself in a few days.



I personally want to thank you all for your prayers, as Gary is a treasure not to be lost anytime soon. Jim DiSpagno

Jim, Thanks for the update. Thoughts and prayers will continue.

Didn't know he was sick, but glad to hear he is better

While Gary recuperates, he'll have more time to search for those hammer guns:bowdown: and send off for more research letters on them.

Get well soon Gary!

I knew of Gary's health situation and wish him Godspeed in his recovery.
It's one of those things you just don't mess around with - Good choice Gary! Get well soon!

i did not know gary was sick either but hurry up and get well so you can tell us some more about these great old guns... charlie

God speed Gary. Wish you the best of health.

Gary, just think about those long barrel hammer guns with lots of engraving and you will be good as new shortly. Best wishes to you and we hope to see you at the Southern. Get well soon. Mark

I'll second that...! You listen to the Doc's advice Gary sometimes they are right. :rotf: Get well soon. Eric

UPDATE!!!! Gary is on his way home as this is being written

Hi Gary! Welcome home!!

Take it easy but get back on top of your game soon. We're all glad to know you're back where you belong.

Gary is home. Resting in a easy chair as comfortable as possible at this point. He made mention of a great wife and his faithful friend Maddie. He is on the mend but keep him in your prayers. Jim

Thanks Jimmy - we will.

Gary, my advice for a speedy recovery is just sit close to the Centennial Gun and touch it occasionally.

Praying for a speedy recovery Gary!! God Bless!!

Gary, we seem to be mending at the same time. Take it easy, it will come with time. My shoulder surgery is starting to mend. I just don't move very quick yet. God bless you and yours.

OK, I wanted to say thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, this is a great group of people, and I am fortunate to be a member of PGCA, This thing sort of slipped up on me, but was lucky to get it addressed quickly, Just wanted to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers, during this ordeal, but I am healing OK it seems, Go back to Duke to get the Cath out on Tuesday 23rd and also the staples, I will at that time know the results of the pathology report, hoping for the best, my wife has kept me abreast of your post and I am humbled by them. The big C can bring you back to earth and you realize just how fragile life is! Thanks again and will post when I get this tube out. PS I will not make the Southern I don,t think, but will see, You guys make my day Gary

Gary, I'm glad to see that you are feeling well enough to be posting again. Don't push yourself to hard, just relax and enjoy the love of family and friends.
You and your family are still in our prayers.

Best wishes, Gary. You owe me a visit so hurry up and get well. We need to do some show and tell about hammer Parkers. Charlie

Gary, it would be great to see you at the Southern. You'll be missed if you're not able to attend, but we obviously understand why. Get well soon!
