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.

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!

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.

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!
