all the best to Danny, the fun n’ gun UF teams were a real hoot to watch…
Finding out have a rare disease is bad enough. When it’s named after dead Frenchmen and hyphenated, well…………
Thats what they now think FDR had.
My mother-in-law had that. Didn’t kill her. He’ll be fine, I’m sure.
Nasty disease causes paralysis usually starting in the legs and arms and moving to your chest until you end up on a ventilator because your diaphragm and chest wall become paralyzed.
Prayer to Danny and the family
He always did seem “nervous” in the pocket and was a “system” quarterback, so makes sense.
Some people do recover from this….hopefully you’re one of ‘em Danny…best wishes to you.
