Only 5 Minutes???

Patrick was able to call today. But, he only had five minutes of time before he had to give the phone to the next guy.

He sounded so much better than he did last week. This weekend was relatively light due to the holiday. He seems to be handling the training okay. He mentioned that he really needs some duct tape. When I asked him why, he explained that he and others have been wrapping their feet in duct tape to help protect the blisters. OUCH!!!! Can you imagine pulling it off??? I guess he's not using the band-aids I sent. He did say that one guy in his unit busted his head open and everyone remembered that Patrick had some bandages. He was able to help the kid out.

Of course, we couldn't talk long, but he said that he'd mailed me several letters already. I haven't gotten anything from him in the mail. I hope they come tomorrow. He did have time to mention that tomorrow is the Gas Chamber day. Yikes!
