Hello kids. I am afraid I must write you of something more serious than spider problems. Although I am still searching for a product that will create the ultimate spider nuclear holocaust.
Turns out, my friend Fathead has contracted Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from a tick. Approximately 800 people a year worldwide get this disease and it is a bit of a problem. It was misdiagnosed 3 times, he had to go to the hospital with a fever of 106, he threw up for weeks and turned jaundiced. Because it went undiagnosed for so long, he has possibly suffered permanent liver damage and could need a transplant. I have informed him that if he needs a transplant, and I am a match, he can have half of my liver. This is a standing offer for any of you that read my journal. If you ever need an organ, look me up.
Anyway, prayers would be appreciated, and I think the only appropriate prayer given the situation and the sick person goes a little something like this:
Dear God,
Please let Fathead recover from the Tick Bite Of Doom and be back to normal and drinking beer in no time. Please heal his liver to a state even better than it was before, and let Lacey's liver remain in her abdomen.
Sincerely,
(your name here)
thx
