Hospitalized far from Home -

11/24/2014

I wanted to get this information to the members and friends of Patrick Kane here on PaceAdvantage.com

Before I attempted thou, I message PaceAdvantage to get his approval ... and he so granted.

PKtruckdriver, has participated in many contests over the years here on PaceAdvantage .. both on a team and individual contests.

Those that know Patrick, know that he is a semi tractor trailer driver throughout the USA. His dream was to own his own "rig" ...... Well earlier this November, he was able to put enough money away to purchase a Used Semi truck. He was So Happy ! ... Notice the word Used above. Yes indeed, repairs to the truck started popping up within a day on the road. Anyway, it turned into one repair after another...and another....

Finally, things started to come together for Patrick... The last I talked to him was the same time Western NY area got hammered with up to 75 inches of snow. PK was headed to Arizona with a load.

Then on his social media page came this post..... on 11/21/2014
"HELP ME PLEASE, I AM IN PAIN AND SHIVERING. "

He was at a truck stop travel center in Tucson, Arizona.

Hospital ER was the only thing on my mind and I told him to get to one ASAP.

Today, 11/24/2014, PK posted this.......

"Was told I was days away from death, that getting to ER instead of trying to get in 1 more trip to get closer to home , in Daytona, That I may died due to this infection and how quickly it spread inside of me.
If you can please pray for me, for those of you who know me - well it seems that after trying so hard to get my own truck(semi) , it seems this set back will force me to lose all the time effort and money , I put into getting my truck, all lost, as I will laid up too long and will be in default and lose my truck, but not my life, for that I thank God, as I guess I can start all over again trying to get my own truck, if God allows me, He may have other plans, only time will tell."

— at University Of Arizona Medical Center South Campus.
location is Tucson, Arizona 85713


Thank You

In the midst of your trials and tribulations, you kept your faith and thanked God. You remind me of what I read in the book of Job. My wife and I will keep you in our prayers, your story gives US strength........Way to hang in there, Patrick!
