Lacey says he's improving and making progress for a full recovery - visited with Bro. Alvin Lee at Tulane Hospital , after his knee replacement surgery and he discovered that his knee was in worst shape that he thought as the bone was not only rubbing ' bone on bone ' but had been doing so for such a long time that mutiple bone chips were discovered and removed - but he is expecting a full recovery after re-hab for the next several months. He will be in the hospital, in room 7212 until Monday at least and would appreciate calls from members "as that would be the best medicine for him" |
