An Email Story

Natalie,

I wanted to let you know that I have to go to the doctor this morning
... I woke up at 1:00 a.m. with really bad abdominal pain. It doesn't
seem gastrointestinal (I took stuff for that, which always works) and is
much worse on the right side than left. I never could get back to sleep
and it was most painful when laying on my left side or back. Very puzzling but I'm going to get it checked out. I feel like shit. I'll
let you know what happens.

Mark


Mark,

How did the visit to the doctor go?

Natalie



Mark,

Okay, I haven't heard from you and now I'm starting to freak. Do you have appendicitis, a hernia, twisted intestine, pneumonia, aids, berryberry, malaria? What? Are you still in the hospital? Are you having surgery as I write this? Should I be getting on the next plane? Where are you?

Natalie




Hi Natalie,

Mark had an appendectomy today (Wed., 4/4/07) and is currently recovering at St. Mary's Hospital. His contact information is: John Mark Davis, Room 6002, (706) 389-3000. He is not sure when he will be released. We'll keep an eye on him for you and make sure Pricilla is fed. I hope all is well with you. Take care.

Scott



*** That was yesterday. I have talked to him twice, and he's now been released and is at home recovering. He says he's fine. I don't believe him.
