What's upsetting you today? - Page 705

$51,810, raised by 932 people in 6 days. Sounds like a lot of money, but considering they medical attention he needs, I can envision a hospital bill of at least three times that.

Oh absolutely, any amount of time in the ICU is going to top $100,000, and he's looking at a 2-week stay at least. On the other hand, you can be sure the park is going to pay for a good portion.

But I hadn't gotten around to mentioning... He is awake! Still on a respirator and heavily sedated, but responding to commands (wiggling toes and squeezing hands and whatnot.) They're starting some mild physical therapy to counteract lying in bed all day for so long, but he has to be in restraints because he keeps trying to pull out his ventilator tube. But brain swelling is completely gone, and he is awake!

Griff · 01-08-2016, 04:45 PM

Good news.

orthodoc · 01-08-2016, 09:58 PM

Glad to hear that he's awake and responding.

Unrealistic expectations of what life is supposed to be about...I can't stop mourning for my mom. It's been two years, on December 29, and all I can think is that I did it all wrong , that I let her down. Somehow. Is this the punishment for not having your own children? Did I screw everything up? I miss her so much every day and I don't know how to keep going forward. I do, for her, but I wonder even why sometimes.

Thanks for listening.

glatt · 01-09-2016, 11:19 PM

I'm sorry I.M. I didn't know your mom, but I am sure she wouldn't have wanted you to feel like you let her down.

Griff · 01-10-2016, 12:27 AM

I'm sorry for your pain IM.

lumberjim · 01-10-2016, 01:13 AM

You're not here to impress anyone. Not even your mother. You're just here.

Bowie's death made me cry. Not for him but because 18 months is so short. Lemmy had even less time to fight. We need a better chance. We need more time to do everything. I want to believe there's more time than that.

I still don't want to talk about it. I just needed to say that

The lifestyle he led would likely make him seek medical help.
