I just received news that Jim was taken to the hospital several days ago for a bleeding ulcer and is not doing well. They have him on a respirator and he's not lucid. That's all I know tonight.

HOLY MOLY! How did I miss this?! And Thank God he is doing better!!! My prayers with you Jim.
Thanks for the update. Hopefully he is now out of danger and no further complications develop. We all need to keep praying to give him strength. I missed it also but I've been busy with Smart Meter BS. Sending the very best to Lod. Lots of prayers going his way!
Sue and are booking the all inclusive. Maybe the nurse or someone else was wrong about his diet. Am concerned about that because a smoothie should have been ok if he had already eaten soft food, as he said earlier. Good news that JT is recovering. Please come back more often, Cynicom.

Thanks, GL. I have a 3/16 surgery date (lithotripsy) which is shock and awe (sound waves) causing minimal collateral damage. This will be the 2nd straight St. Patrick's Day I've had this procedure so it's becoming my own personal rite of Spring :)

I was going to suggest sound wave treatment until I saw it was mentioned. St. Patrick's Day...that's the 17th so I hope you'll be recuperated by then. It's also the day that everybody's Irish so they should all make like the Irish in the movie, Braveheart, and join the Ron Paul Revolution for Freedom. Don't forget to wear something green.

Jim's out of ICU, but here's the report from Jay tonight. Jim had the endoscopy this morning and dodged yet another bullet. Turns out the bleeding was from a big clot in his esophagus of all things, and it was dissolved. I went to see him at 6:00 and he is very weak but alert. He tried to speak but even leaning over close to his face I couldn't understand him. He had just received a unit of blood when I arrived and shortly there after his blood oxygen level dropped precipitously. The nurses immeditely injected something into his I.V. and within seconds it returned to 100. Those people at Seton Northwest are really something special. j

Thank you for the update Christine. I'm so happy to hear that Loddy is out of ICU and getting wonderful care......I'll keep the prayers up on my end.

#153. To: christine, Lod (#151)
Thank you for the update. I'm still rootin' for him and praying that he pulls through. Looks like he may just do it and elude the Grim Reaper's grasp. I dearly hope so as he is a good man and we need all of those we can get at any time, but especially at this time. Godspeed Jim and May the Good Lord Bless You with his touch.

Hope you're okay Lod.

#157. To: Tonight's Report from Jay (#156) (Edited)
I went to the hospital this evening and Jim's improvement since this morning was, in a word, remarkable. This morning he was too weak to be heard. Tonight I actually heard his voice before entering his room. I couldn't believe it. His eyes were clear and, as I said, his voice was strong. When I entered his room he was vigorously brushing his teeth. Are you kidding? He hasn't been able to do ANYTHING vigorously since he was first hospitalized. He ate some today, he had ice chips throughout the day and some Italian ice after a few spoonfuls of broth. He had also sipped some ice tea. I also checked the cannister that was attached to the drainage tube form his stomach and there was no blood in it. Let us hope and pray that this time he truly is on the mend. j

This is wonderful news! Loddy will be back in no time. : )

#163. To: noone222, All, this morning's report (#162)
Good news. The drainage tube from his gut was removed this morning so he is no longer bleeding internally and is no longer tethered to the bed. When I got there he was sitting up in the side chair and was eating. He ate 1/2 a bowl of vegetable broth, some Italian Ice, some jello and had drunk some ice tea. That's the most he's eaten since he was hospitalized. He seemed tired from the effort but I suppose that's to be expected. He has good color in his face and his BP had gone down a bit. All in all he looks better than he has since his ordeal began. j

slow recovery but still more good news. thanks chris.

Thanks Christine. Pass my regards to Sir Lod and tell him I am taking up the slack while he is vacationing.
#166. To: christine (#163)
It appears the old Texan has one more rodeo left in him, thank god. Get well soon, Lod.
#167. To: christine (#163)
Give Lod my best, christine. I am encouraged by his improvement, as I am sure he is, too. I will keep him in my prayers until he is back posting at 4um. ... he looks better than he has since his ordeal began.
#168. To: christine (#163)
When I got there he was sitting up in the side chair I'm sure happy to hear that he's not bleeding internally but maybe someone should punch him in the nose for not taking better care of himself. Thanks for the update, too !!!

#169. To: noone222, All, Update on Jim (#168)
Jim was transferred today from Seton NW to the Bluebonnet Medical Rehabilitation Hospital. It sounds like he will get excellent rehabilitation and care there. www.texasneurorehab.com/medical-services/ Bluebonnet Medical Rehabilitation Hospital offers inpatient and outpatient services for individuals with brain injury and medically complex challenges.

Thanks again for the update, christine. Lod's in our thoughts, and we hope that you'l tell him that we're all pulling for him and hope to see him back soon!
#177. To: christine (#169)
Thank you for the update. Geesh, it sounds like when he got hit he got hit. Well, at least he is recovering even if it is a little slower than everyone would like to see. Give him my best wishes when you are there next.
#178. To: Update! abraxas, all (#177)
Oh my! I don't know why the photo is oversized! I visited Jim today for the first time since he was transferred from Seton to TexasNeuroRehab. He is doing well, though still weak, but enjoying the physical therapy and strength training he's receiving twice a day. He's lost a lot of weight and needs to be fattened up. He is not enjoying the facility's food, but he's no longer on a restricted diet, so I can begin taking him some healthful smoothies. He's a bit bored and missing having access to a computer. I wish Mrs. L would get him a little laptop. I asked if there is a projected date for discharge and he answered that he didn't know. Ab, I took him your card which he enjoyed very much and asked me to thank you. 
#179. To: christine (#178)
great news! getting a laptop is a good idea. maybe let him borrow one for a few days?
