To those that might like to send well wishes, our friend and AR regular Larry Shores was admitted to hospital today after being sick for a couple of weeks (finally listened to his physician wife ) with what turned out to be pneumonia. I expect he will respond quickly and will be out very shortly. I’m sure he will appreciate any well wishes.
Disclaimer: Larry was aware I was posting this .

Only Larry could look so cool leaving in an ambulance!

Get well Larry.

Best wishes on a quick recovery, Larry. Beef up that immune system ahead of convention season and hopefully avoid the usual respiratory crap that we all get at them!

Best wishes to Larry. Antibiotics will work on that, had it a few times.

Get well soon, Mr. Shores!

Wishing you a rapid and complete recovery Larry!

Larry, get well soon Buddy!

Sorry to hear you're sick Larry. Get well soon my friend!

Get well soon my friend!

Larry, Gute Besserung as they say here ! Hope you are up and around soon and look forward to the reports of your next adventures! All best for 2024

Thank you all.

My neighbor at my ranch is a surgeon. We were talking about Covid one day. I vividly remember him saying that if one’s oxygen level in the blood dropped to 92%, to immediately go to the hospital.

Well, I woke up about 5 AM yesterday. My blood oxygen level was at 90. Plus my fever had returned after several days absence . I knew something was wrong . I took off for the hospital.

Glad I did . I think I was on the verge of real trouble .

Glad you’re OK mate

Hate to hear about you affected with this Larry.
Hoping you get this behind you quickly and get back into hunting. Those hogs are multiplying in your absence !

Larry,
Glad you are mending. My wife had the same scenario this last week. The new round of Covid/flu is a stinger. Be careful and don't push yourself.

The older we get, the longer the recovery takes....

Be a good patient, please....


Or, if you die, what are your wife's tastes in men? As her next husband stands to be very rich and get to play with a lot of nice toys....

Glad you caught it in time!

Larry is too tough to be down long.

Get well soon my friend…we still got too much hunting and shooting to do!

Take care of yourself, Larry. Get well soon!

Glad you're getting medical attention. Get well soon.

Your tough Larry, take care of yourself!!

Pneumonia can be serious but sounds like you have got it under control, best wishes for a speedy recovery Larry. Santa delivered me a dose of covid. Thought it was a common cold with irritated throat developing after flying up to Auckland for family Xmas. Two son's in law and eldest daughter now positive. I'm all good now, effects were actually milder and shorter than those usually associated with a cold for me. Although wife and other family members have had covid once or twice to date I had missed out so I guess it was my turn, just didn't need to be Xmas.

Recover well and fast but remember to take it easy even after you get home.
Takes a while to refill the reservoir

For sure .

My oxygen levels dropped to 90. My fever returned after 12 days . I knew I had a problem. Got a real scare.

Get well Mr. Shores!

Wishing you the best, Larry! Get well, soon.

Get well soon, my friend!

Get well soon, there are many adventures waiting for you once you heal up!

Buck up man. Tax season is just around the corner. Get well soon.

Wish you a good recovery.

Glad to read you’re on the mend. I have a theory that this is really swine fever of some sort! At least, that sounds more appropriate!

We need LarryShores
Speedy Recovery
Be well

Thanks everyone.

The hospital released me last night . I am home trying to sleep . I am not being successful.

To get some real sleep, try reading the entire Andrew Baldry saga on the two different threads, then create a plausible time line and see if that does not wear you out!

Get well and get rest. Root for Alabama!

Glad you are home Larry.

Larry, if you are having trouble getting to sleep, you might try reading "African Game Trails." I used to read it before bedtime and it took me two years to get through it. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Best wishes getting over the wear down part.

Always seems to take much longer to gain back

what these spells knock out of us. there's hogs

waiting for you!!

Karl: thanks for posting this.

Larry, I am very sorry to hear this. I promise you that Martha and I will be in prayer daily for your returning health.
You have been a precious friend, so we do not take this lightly. We will trust the Lord for you.

Larry good to hear you are at home.

My bestie and Doctor who posts here once in a blue moon as Bronzepig put me on Belaomra as a sleep aid.

Everything else out there left me groggy for hours the following day.

This stuff takes me about 90 seconds to be wide awake in the morning and fully functional.

I have been out of touch while hunting the Chinati Mountains of West Texas.

Glad to hear that your home and recovering Larry!

Five years ago I was having difficulty breathing and went to a local clinic. The MD did an oximeter and it read 84%. The MD asked if I had walked into their office. She said that patients with readings that low had always arrived on a gurney or a wheelchair.. She admitted me to the hospital where I stayed for two days until my oxygen level rose above 95%.

Quick update…he went back into hospital yesterday with kidney stones, surgery today, pretty sure he will update. Bad couple of weeks for Larry! Hope he recovers quickly.
