Talked to Sniper today. He continues to do better. He's out in the middle of nowhere (Pecos, TX) in a small hospital. The doc there said 2-4 weeks probably before he can get home and be healed sufficiently. It's a pretty nasty wound and the healing is slow. He sounds good and is walking around holding onto a wheelchair. So at least he's getting out of bed once in awhile and the weather down there has been nice enough for him to step outside. He said he does feel weak when he walks, so he's got to build his strength up as well.
That's it for now. He still doesn't have internet access, so he'll be out of touch for some time to come.
