Yep, thanks. That poor thread is plagued with trolls constantly. No pun intended.

Glad he's okay!

I got to visit Nef today :)

He actually looked really good, all things considered. I was happy to see that. He still has a bunch of things connected to him, and still has one chest tube that's removing fluid from his lungs. Aside from the LOTS of pain he is in, he is doing really well! They even had him do a little walking today. And he was out of bed and in his chair when I got there.

I let him know that his GLP friends were thinking of him and sending their love and prayers. That made him smile.

The nurse said he should be moved out of ICU tomorrow into a "step down" room. I'm gonna go back tomorrow afternoon during visiting hours. I brought him his phone so at least he can now communicate with his family directly and I can check on him more easily.

He's so brave and tough! He's doing great!

Same

That is awesome news Sim!!!! Glad you got to see him.

You know, I just don't understand people. My cousin was married twice, 3 kids from 1st and one from 2nd. The estranged wife, that only came back in his life (2nd marriage) to take care of him, not only didn't get in touch with Jay's sister, she didn't even contact his children about his death.

Then she made an obit, posted it in his real home town and only mentioned his last daughter and herself. Oh and a half brother that Jay barely knew. Then stated they would have ha small graveside ceremony and no one was expected to attend.

Needless to say, everyone is upset. Two of his kids are flying out there, even though they had to get flights today (they didn't know till I reached out), several of Jay's friends from school years are all there now. They will all meet before and got to the cemetery together, arm and arm and dressed how my cousin always dressed, jeans, flannel shirt, bb cap. They will be carrying flowers, something the weird wife said wasn't needed. There will be a statement made.

I wish I could go for I wouldn't be silent about the snubbing for Jay's family and friends.

How can people be so friggin cruel?????

Sometimes there is no explanation for people's behavior Angel. And it has no use to even put energy in that at one point. What is more important is that you acted and made sure his friends and family are there and he gets a proper goodbye. You did great sweetheart.

He's a warrior! God bless all of you!

I'm sorry to hear this WA. I swear some people just have zero empathy, or even the ability to have any. That makes this harder than necessary for you and your family. :(

My uncle did something similar at Papa's service. He left my 2 sisters completely out of his lengthy speech which highlighted his own children. My dad will never forgive him for it either.

Thinking of you & yours WA. I love you my friend. <3

Sounds like he's doing great! I can only imagine the pain, though :(

Great news!

Thank you for that update, joinca! He's a good man, and one of the few in the public eye that I trust. Sending my prayers out for him!

So tomorrow I plan to bring him some food, but I'm really not sure what to bring. It's about a 40 minute drive so if I bring a hot dish, I will need to be sure to keep it as warm as possible during the ride.

We're making some chicken soup right now which I will bring, but if anyone has any good ideas, please do feel free to share! I'm definitely a rookie in uncharted waters right now.

Also with other things. I've gotten him one of those health bracelets that will check his blood pressure, oxygen level, ECG, etc. I've also gotten him a new, cozy bathrobe which I figure will be more comfy than a t-shirt once he's home.

Such good news!!!! And I KNOW you are feeling better!!! God has been really good - answering our prayers!!! Big hugs and lots of love from W TX!

I think chicken soup is an excellent idea

Heart patient in the house is very stressful

You will settle in fine

One day at a time and keep things chill

Be aight

Everyones got an agenda

And rarely think about others

Funerals are a breeding ground for awful behavior

Don't try and understand, hopefully just move on

With that said

The internet is dead

Time to move on for real

Watch and pray

Insane times we're living

It's quite a wave to ride. All of this year, and then some. I'm glad we have each other to chat with/vent to. I think that's important for our collective souls. Hang on tight.
