Pulled steering wheel to look at upper bearing. Has some slack in it. Maybe a 1/16 to 1/8th inch. However, when I push the bearing in into the race and rotate the race it is nice and smooth. Thinking this is not my problem. Your thoughts?
Haven't had chance to loosen bolt on intermediate shaft but I don't see how you can get any slack from loosening it as bolt goes through a grove on shaft and there is little or no slack because of the grove.
I'm not sure how long I have had this problem. It may have been for a while. I replaced the manual steering with power steering a couple of years ago. It could be the loosening lower bolt just above the gear box and below the rag joint may give me the ability to take up the slack. Do you know if this part of the shaft has a slot like the upper bolt?
Unfortunately, I cant try to adjust the shaft for a while as just finish some minor surgery and Dr doesn't want me lifting or straying for a couple more weeks.

Sounds like the upper bearing is working like it should.
Yes, the bolt in the top of the intermediate shaft is in a groove but that groove should allow some adjustment.
Let us know when you are able to try the suggestions posted here.
