evidence: Sent him home. Saturday morning he couldn’t even stand. His wife rushed him to the emergency room. They finally admitted him. He had a red blotch on his right forearm. They had to operate on his right forearm because it was discolored. They found a small muscle that was dead. They said it was removed and left the incision open so it heals from the inside out. We left at 3:00am Sunday morning and went home. Sunday afternoon his wife called and said come to the hospital because God is going to take him. He fell into septic shock and his blood pressure kept falling. We lost him that night. I will miss my friend and best man to this horrible illness. [...] Last night my mother told me to take care of myself and tgat she was sick. [...] As her kidneys started shutting down she started to swell up like a proverbial balloon.
