Reason I've been missing.
« on: February 10, 2023, 09:25:03 PM »
Hay guys. I've been missing because I've been in and out of the hospital more times than I can count. Had more test ran than I can count. They tell me The wounds on my back have turned into cancer and have wanted me to have radiation along with chemo. I have turned both treatments down and that leaves me one step away from Hospis coming into the picture. For the tim being I have nurses coming in twice a week to dress the wounds. With all that said I've been told buy the Doctors I could live one to ftve years like this, since I turned down the treatment's it's anybods guess. This is why I have been missing from the Colt forum along with other sites. All I use the computer for is to check emall messages and pay bills as much as I can. I don't want to leave any bills for my wife to haft to pay. Have not had any time to be shooting black powder guns of any kind. I do have a lot of black powder revolvers and a few rifles I don't know what to do with because I don't have anyone to leave them to. Most of the revolvers I have never fired, same go's with the rifles. I'm not trying to push them off on any of you guys my wife doesn't want to keep any of them same go's with any center fire rifle's, I have a friend that can help me out with those. I have a couple of them I still shoot from time to time. Hope you guys will keep us in your prayers. I'm not give up and the faith to believe GOD is in control, and still heals people from thangs doctors can't do anything with. Will keep in touch with you all as much as possible. I still like to see what you all are up to with your post and new pics.

I was wondering where you'd drifted to, Dell. You will certainly get those prayers on my end. And feel free to put any of your guns up for sale on the forum here. Like you said, God is in control. And we are all here for you.

Praying for you Del. I hope you can sell your guns. If you can't sell them make a list of what you have and what they're worth so your wife will at least have some idea of what to get for them.

Good to hear from you Dellbert but sorry to hear about your situation.   I'll certainly keep you in my prayers.   Concentrate on living your life for now and less about what happens after you're gone.

Hello Delbert,

Sorry to here of your situation.
Personally I've always said I'd do the same, hopefully I'll never have to make that decision.
Sending prayers your way.
You are right, it is god's call.
