A Note From Don Moore
 

First of all, I want to thank the countless well wishers that expressed their heartfelt concern and encouraging words on IOW during the past week. This is overwelming, to say the least. I also want to thank all the fans and good friends in the racing community around the country who called and visited during my hospital stay. And to my great and wonderful friends, Mike Cray of St. Louis and Justin Grant of Ione, California for making the long journey to Elyria Memorial Hospital near Cleveland, OH for a surprise visit that I will never forget. I was released tonight (Wednesday), but I'm not out of the woods at this particular point. One can have everything in the world but if you don't have your health in order, everything else is meaningless. I have been blessed by God with outstanding health my entire life, but last week on Tuesday while getting ready for several midget events, I was struck down with a very serious digestive disorder that brought me down faster than lightning, and it was quickly downhill shortly thereafter. And the next day, things got even worse when I was tranferred to the cardiac unit. Monday of this week, I went through a series of tests and was told by the doctors to be prepared for an extended stay and surgery as the tests were not good. More tests were done on Tuesday and suddenly the tests were showing a remarkable and surprising improvement. Maybe this was a miracle from God so that I can make more trouble on IOW, I don't know!!! Whatever happened, I'm now at home, resting comfortably. There are some issues that still need to be addressed, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks again to all my wonderful racing friends for their prayers.

Right on Don! Glad to hear things are looking up. It was getting kinda quiet around these parts. ;)
Take it easy and get 100% soon!

Glad to see that you are home and doing better.:6:

Re: A Note From Don Moore
 

Don,
I am sure that your problems are not from "eating any crow", as all the issues with midget racing car counts you have preached for years HAVE come true! :2:

Seriously, I am sure you understand our concern, but figured you could use a little humor. (Normally I would not joke about this type of issue.) Wish you the best!

Don, thanks for taking time to post. Its great to hear there is a "light at the end of the tunnel" and things are coming around for the better. You don't have to pay any attention to the Doc's opinions on the state of midget racing but you do have to follow their other advice! Keep it up, sounds like a real journey. Look forward to seeing you at a track soon. I am sure the pups were awful happy to see you last night!

Re: A Note From Don Moore
 

Don, I am soooooo glad to hear you are doing better, We will continue to pray for your health.
Take care of youself and we hope to see you at a track soon, Dave Rudisell

Re: A Note From Don Moore
 

Don, It is good to see your post. Health issues have a way of making a train wreck out of our lives. I know that all to well. Take care of yourself.

Re: A Note From Don Moore
 

Keep fighting the good fight, Don. I want to see you around for a long time purely for a selfish reason. That reason is that you keep things on this board so very interesting!:6:

Re: A Note From Don Moore
 

Dons a great guy in person, He always seems serious (And he is) on here because hes passionate about doing something we all love and wants to be able to keep doing it.

Continued improvements Don, Prayers are with you.

Keep the faith and get well soon!

Re: A Note From Don Moore
 

I've kept tabs on you here at IOW.com and I was pleased to see that you are home and headed in the right direction. As you mentioned, without your health, everything else seems insignificant. So, hang in there and keep going forward.

While your were in the crash house, we all missed your insight and passion for our sport. Welcome home.

Bump!!

Nice to read of some good news. I'm pretty healthy myself but am #2 caregiver for terminal cancer patient here at home. There are a few good days but most are not for her.

Hang in there, Don.

Glad to hear that Mr. Moore take care of yourself now !!!

Re: A Note From Don Moore
 

Im glad you are getting better man cant wait until your able to go back to the track.

Re: A Note From Don Moore
 

Don,

I have had the pleasure of talking with you on several occassions and you are one of the best this sport has involved in it. I was sad to hear you have had some medical problems but relieved and happy to hear you are doing better. Get well soon and maybe just maybe I will be able to make Ft. Wayne this year and watch your car run and talk with you if not before at a midwest race (Jacksonville/Spoon weekend?).

The man upstairs works in mysterious ways. Everything that happens is a by his direction. It took me finding out that a very dear friend of mine has cancer and that she is giving up and allowing her cancer to consume her to realize just how fragile and precious life is and that we should all just try to get along. I am going to miss her company very much as she has been just a absolute joy to have around. We in the racing community may disagree and debate with each other but in the end we all should relish the fact we have each other to do that with.

I wish you continuing success and better health in the days, months, years (decades?) to come :6:

Re: A Note From Don Moore
 

Don, I sure hope you are continuing to feel better. I am not sure how much you are able to watch the boards nowadays but over on Midgetmadness we are "solving" the cost of racing, car counts etc. Your name has come up--and in a complimentary way. Take care of yourself!

Re: A Note From Don Moore
 

Well Badgerfan, it's great to hear from you. I went racing and dog showing last weekend. Actually I feel pretty good but had a bit of a relapse with the ticker here in the last few days. Just going to take it easy here in the near future and get some issues resolved with the help of the doctors. One doctor gave me some good advice: There are two things you don't want to mess with: Your brain and your heart. Just trying to stay healthy is my priority right now and trying to avoid stress.... hahahaha.. so I should stay away from race tracks... and IOW!!! lol

Re: A Note From Don Moore
