Crippler needs well wishes...

[Justice4all]

<p>Hey all....just found out that my friend and roomate crippler is in the hospital. He was in physical therapy for his back and he collapsed. He is in an un-disclosed (privacy for his sake) hospital and is in ICU. they ran tests and need to see what happened. This just happened today at about 6ish.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So say a prayer or well wishes or whatever it is you do...my buddy needs it.</p><p>Thanks everyone.</p>

[Tenbatsuzen]

<p>Oh man, sorry to hear that.&nbsp; Crip's a good guy.&nbsp; Hope he gets better soon.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[DarkHippie]

[Gvac]

All my best to you, Crip.&nbsp; Hang in there buddy and get well soon.<br />

[DJEvelEd]

<p>That sucks. I hope he feels better.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I also hope he didn't get fusion. I refused to get that and&nbsp;waited for the Prodisc Artificial Disc to be approved by the FDA. I will be having back surgery&nbsp;in October&nbsp;and 'aint NO physical therapist gonna experiment on me. One woman I know with an artificial disc was told by her therapist to try traction after her surgery! She refused and she is better off. Dont let those phyical therapists experiment on you!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You can PM me anytime if you have a question about back surgery.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good luck Bra! (no bro mo)</p>

<p>Hope you feel better man. Get well soon.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Justice4all]

<p>Well I saw Crips today and he is doing ok. He was up in spirits and can't WAIT to get the fuck home where he is not so bored out of his mind. He appreciated everyones well wishes and looks foward to coming back and posting left and right since he will be on bedrest for a little while following his homecoming. </p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Stalker Patti]

Problems with the back and spine can really be debilitating, to say the least!&nbsp; Hope you feel better soon

[FUNKMAN]

<p>Thanks for the update Tom...</p><p>i remember when i was in the hospital for 7 days after a car accident, after the 4th day i was climbing the walls and basically walking the halls in the middle of the night</p>

[Justice4all]

<p>Well at least Ant brought his XM unit so he could listen to Ron and Fez. Bad time (for him) for O &amp; A to go on Vacation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Edit: (5 minutes later) Oh shit....I just realized that he will not be able to go to the comedy show this weekend. He was looking foward to it!</p>

[FUNKMAN]

yeah and don't forget that grand funk cd i made him...

[The Blowhard]

Get well soon Buddy!

[Reephdweller]

Thanks for the update Tom. Hey Crip, I hope you&nbsp;feel better soon and back home. Best of luck with everything.

[Justice4all]

<p>Update: Well after bouncing from one hospital to another, he is now in rehab/after patient care. With much better and nicer facilities (and better tv..including YES network) he is in better spirits. This means one step closer to coming home, which is what he has been begging for for a while now. He thanks EVERYONE for the well wishes again.</p><p>P.S. When he is back to 90% we will have a welcome home poker game for him in October...so be ready!</p>

[suggums]

big ups justice. stay strong crippler!<br />

[Hottub]

Glad to hear you are improving, John. It would be an honor to take your money this October!

[Hottub]

Hey Justice or Campo, can we get an update?

[spoon]

I talked to Tom (Justice) a couple times and Crip is doing better and has been moved to a more comfortable place for rehab.&nbsp; At least now he also has tv and will be able to catch some NFL and I think he has XM in his room too, but I'm not too sure on that.&nbsp; I won't say where he is exactly and what's up to keep some things private until he can come back and bring up what he feels comfortable with.&nbsp; But all in all the big guy is doing better and a shout out on the show from the boys would be fucking awesome.&nbsp; A few of us are going to get together and hang with him as we watch the Jets and Giants get stomped this weekend.&nbsp;

[Justice4all]

<p>Ok everyone...CRIPPLER IS COMING HOME!!!</p><p>Barring any sudden change of plans he is out of rehab on Friday where he will be at his parents for about a week or two then back home where he belongs!</p><p>So see the Games and Sports section for his welcome home Party/Poker game</p>

[sexy bastard]

i am glad to hear he is comng home...

[spoon]

<p>Sweet!&nbsp; Great news.&nbsp; </p>

[Jennitalia]

Good news!&nbsp; Welcome home, Cripps!

[IrishAlkey]

<p>Feel better soon, sugar tits.</p>

[Crippler]

Hey....so, what did I miss? <p>Yes, I'm out of the hospital(s), out of rehab, and almost home.&nbsp; Staying at my folks' place for about a week so my mother can wait on me hand &amp; foot...ok, moreso that my father can draw blood&nbsp;every other day, arrange CT scans, etc., since my&nbsp;health is still not 100%.&nbsp; But I feel good, except for the limp, but more physical therapy&nbsp;will take care of that in time.</p>Between Tom &amp; my cousin Campo, I was kept well aware of all the well wishes, jokes, and genuine concern around here.&nbsp; And I have to tell you it meant a lot to me, especially during a time when not a lot of things were going well. <p>I've always said that there are some real, genuinely good people around here.&nbsp; And even though I didn't need the proof, it certainly presented itself here.&nbsp; So thank you all for the kind words, encouragement, and all the &quot;thought &amp; prayers&quot; in general.</p>Lastly, since I always try to give him credit where it is due (you know, to try &amp; balance out all the shit I give him otherwise), special thanks to Tom for being my conduit to the board, personal mailman, and all around good guy. <p>Hope to see some of you at the poker game.&nbsp; And as always, I'll see you in the trenches around here.</p>&nbsp;- John
