You see Troy again on this forum, you can give HIM a big thumbs up. He has made great sacrifices over the last couple of years. I know for a fact he was sucking sand last Christmas, and had been sucking it for a long while. He'll probably do it again real soon too.
Maybe it's not my place, but his wife Wendi, who is as beautiful on the inside as on the outside, almost needs a walker to get around, and it's going to get worse for her not better. She might be a little older than half my age, and I'm 51. She had to hold up during his absence. Her well being was probably a lot more on his mind than the hardship he was going through, or the threat to HIS physical well being.
WAY TO GO TROY!!
