Our beloved brokenpole
Our wonderful community member brokenpole is in the hospital right now with a high fever and tenacious infection in his legs. Sparky (as he's also known) is an incredibly active and supportive member of our community, so I wanted to share the news so you can send him your good thoughts, prayers, messages etc. Sparky's wife, Sharon (aka smokinbeaver) is also a member of TuDiabetes, and I'm sure could also use our support right now.
Let's make a "Get Better" message wall in the discussion below...
Check out Sparky's photos and blog posts! He's a real character, and a fantastic guy :)

Hi Sparky, my wishes for a speedy recovery. We're missing your daily cheerful encouragement. Again my best wishes for your leaving the hospital quickly, even though the nurses will surely miss you. I am definitely thinking of Sharon as well. Thanks for this post, Emily.

Sparky, get better soon! We've been missing your thoughtful comments and your sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know you're keeping those nurses entertained, though, aren't you?! :)
Sharon, please know that we're all thinking of you and are with you in spirit. If you need to talk, vent, or rant, we're here waiting with plenty of hugs. Take care.
