The Drifter is in the hospital
For the past four days Our Roger, “The Drifter,” Roger Alfano, top moderator for Leatherneck.com has been in the hospital.
This site is his heart and his outlet, so he has had his wife Ellie, posting for him.
His is a bit stubborn, and it was Ellie that made him go to the hospital.
He is doing good for now, but had a cyst...that ruptured and he lost a lot of blood.
Then, the VA found a few other things wrong with him.....He had been going to them for the last few months.
He still has a mass on his right kidney....Not sure yet about surgery ....More test are due
From Ellie;
They gave him a bone scan....That came back negitive.(Good)...He still has to go through the kidney scan....and some other tests which he can't remember....LOL...They got his blood stablized.....he lost 2 pints.....They told him...a few more days he would have died.....He might be a pain...in the ass....but I still love him....LOL...There is talk that they might have to remove his kidney.....They believe the mass is canceres(SP)....He was lucky that he was going to the VA....to see the head dr.....Hell he even said that he has problems....Hell I could have told them that....LOL....
Thanks for the Prayers....he needs lots of them now.....
This message from ellie yesterday morning…
Roger is still in good spirits....but he is hollowering he isn't getting enough food......LOL....
He is going through a test now...checking the chest...and another one this afternoon.....We are waiting for word when they are going to do the surgery(Looks like Monday)....but there is talk that he might be able to come home...for a few days....with me taking care of him....his kidney is bleeding still....
Will let you know more later....
I did PM Colleen this morning.....to tell her.....
I do think Roger would like all the Prayers....
He might not go to church like we use to......but we are still believers
surgery is next week to take out his kidney....
Thanks
Ellie

Feel free to also send him your personal PM messages
I am sure Ellie will make copies of those and get them to him.
Nothing lifts a man's spirit more then knowing there are those that care for him
