Thom update [View All]

[lizziegrace]

I just talked to Thom. He's in a lot of pain and on lots of pain meds. He's coherent but the drugs are tough.

He's got some assets he didn't realize he could liquidate since he's only 40 and will do that over the next couple of weeks. That should help him keep his apartment and support himself through the 7 months of hearings on his disability status.

What he DOES need (and considers a luxury because it's not necessary to live) is an updated computer that actually works. I sent him an old laptop my dad sent me, but it needs a memory upgrade and it's very slow. Thom, now more than ever, needs human contact, even if it's only in the virtual world. That said, I'm starting a thread for recommendations about computers. Specifically ones that can help him as the use of his hands and arms deteriorate. Voice recognition, etc. Desktop is preferred because he can't carry a laptop.

So, that's where things stand now. He misses everyone terribly. He wants all of you to know how much you mean to him and how grateful he is to be a part of such a caring community.
