Some fucking ragers beat my friend down.
He's in the hospital having brain surgery. I want to kill them, but no one knows who they are, whether he was alone or what the fuck, but they (not necessarily plural) apparently kicked him in the head.

And my poor old Mom's (nearly 80 she, with a long distance boyfriend, which could have gone w/o saying but...)boyfriend is in the hospital with something bad. But don't know what. Send some good vibes this way and I will pass them on thanks!;(

49. He's talking, but no one knows the accuracy of what he's saying right now.
He's still in ICU.

9. I'm so so so sorry
How awful and pointless. I'm glad that at least he was found and that modern surgery is so good.

Prayers and good wishes are being sent to your friend and your mom's boyfriend (and to you and your mom). Please keep us updated.

18. In the case of hospital waiting, I am an expert..
One minute at a time, friend, one minute at a time. Make sure you know where the coffee pot is, and the chapel, though I kept my chapel with me at all times. I didn't have to leave my chair or bedside except to eat and bathroom. Lots of love and hugs from this DUer.

40. thanks juajen.
:hug: I have news. Just talked to my other friends. They said he has a huge skull fracture, they removed bone and smoothed it around the edges and put it back. I guess it will grow back together. He can't drive for a long time, and he may have seizures for the rest of his life. Apparently he's talking but very groggy from the surgery.

53. Yes, but since there are ag assault charges for someone who is still
roaming the streets, I better not get into the details. He is doing somewhat better after the surgery. Infection is the fear now I guess. They put the piece of bone back into the hole after they smooth it down and I guess it will grow back and he'll be as good as new. :cry:
