Prayers for Adrian Garcia

Adrian, I'll drop you an email with my phone# if you want to ask me any questions, bro.

And props to you for giving credit where credit is due, to the Great Physician, Jesus... as a physician I will tell you that modern medicine, as advanced as it is, can only take us so far down the road. We can often diagnose illnesses quite precisely, sometimes remove them surgically, sometimes treat them medically, try and help with prevention - all much more effectively than we could even a few years ago. Ultimately, however, if we are honest we must admit that the miracle that is life, even with all we've learned about it, is still very much a mystery. The truth is that God is the only one who can really heal anyone or anything - whether physically or spiritually.

"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous--and how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed." -- Psalm 139:13-16
 
Hey Adrian,

Just got home and checked this thread. Was relieved to see that you were able to post a reply here, and to hear that things are better for you. Get your butt out of there and get back to the thing you love, playing bass! I hope this is a minor health issue that caused such a big scare in some/all of us out here. Drop me a line or call me when you're out and ready to chat.

Take care,

Dave

Hey Adrian,

Great finally getting to hook up/meet you on the Robin Leach/Charity Auction gig last saturday (and thanks for letting me check out that F-Bass :bassist: ). Just did a Palm Springs gig with Big Bruce and Jon where I first heard about this (haven't been on-line much) and everybody is thinking of you and wishing you the best. Get well...I still need another Lakland :D .

Good people:
GREAT news. I am home ( actually getting ready for a gig )!!! They let me go late last night. A hematoma next to my liver, everyone seems to think i took some kind of blow. I don't remember impast with anything. The only thing I can think of is i had to haul my rig a LONG ways and thru a lot of stairs a couple of days earlier. But i feel great, put myself together as well as i could ( I looked a little like rough ) headed off to work/play and I am very happy.
Again, thanks to all! and especially to GOD. Tomorrow morning, I am ON MY KNEES! ( actually i did not wait until then )
Rick, thanks for calling out the changes to the bridge on "At Last" !! Shame on me!!
Brad, no, no insurance.. but I will manage. The main thing is, I am home and feel fine. THANKS AGAIN, GUYS!!! :bassist:

Glad to know you're better, but this is not good. If you're self employed, you can deduct 100% of a health plan premium from your taxes, or better yet, get the money back.

Just saying God forbid you need it, but better to have and not need than the need and not have, sort of like a B string...;)

Great to hear you're OK Adrian. Did another gig at Red Rocks with Jon and the gang last night. They were still thinking you were dealing with your appendix. I told them you still didn't know what it was...until now.

As far as the Med insurance, I've had several guys that are in the Musician's Union in Vegas tell me the union has a Group Health Plan that is way cheaper than trying to get something on your own. Have you explored this?
