My friends,

I’ll make this as short as possible. I don’t want to scare anyone.

I will be away for an undetermined amount of time. I had an emergency visit today to the clinic, and I am very, very ill. I am waiting for test results, and if they are as bad as what I found out today, I’ll be under-going surgery.

All I do ask is that you please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I go through this extremely, painful (emotionaly and physically) difficult time.

My friends, you are the best a person could ask for and I deeply apreciate your support and help. I will try and keep everyone updated as much as possible.

Sincerely,

Ben
