Sad to hear that for sure
All the best to the man

In a brief moment of mental and physical clarity I need to take advantage of it and finally update people on the news of this last week.
On August 4 I had a standard procedure to have a cyst removed from my neck...no big deal. Things were fairly normal for the next 48 hours post-op but approaching the evening of the 6th my health rapidly declined. My temp shot up to 102*, my entire body broke out in unprovoked small bruises, and I was so weak I couldn't move an inch.
With the help of my loving family we did what we thought best and returned to the dermatologist fearing a severe infection. The meeting lasted less than a minute as all he said was..."GO TO THE ER NOW!!!"
...we did.
After a brief exam of vitals and blood tests they weren't immediately able to diagnose but they could tell the obvious...
...I have Leukemia.
My astronomical white blood cell count had already destroyed my immune system by poisoning my blood and the minor cyst removal just released the flood gates of disaster.
I was immediately transferred to the James at OSU where diagnosis was immediate (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) and an immediate war for stabilization was waged. I'd give you the details but you don't want to hear them as I do not want to remember them. It's just ugly. It's taken me 6 days to mentally and physically type this post.
Anyway...I'm exhausted from typing this and in conclusion I'm on Chemo and will be living at the James for possibly the next 2 months. If you want to send cards or whatever I'm in room 1055 of the James Cancer Hospital at OSU.
This isn't a personal visit invitation though...I'm teetering on stability and mentally and physically I'm still a potential mess. Things can get pretty gross and having random people see me like this is of benefit to no one at this moment. Maybe later but not now.
I'll update periodically to keep my brain busy so check in if you want from time to time. Thanks for reading and I'm glad to get this off my chest.
....now it's time to get everything else out of my bloodstream.

I think seeing his dog again helped out alot... and dont worry SG... Im all over this.. Im gonna stay at least until we can get something together to send him. Ill be checking back in this thread frequently with updates and Ive already sent love to him from everyone here at Fluckit.. He hasnt responded yet but Im sure it will mean a ton to him.
I don't even know the dude but I've had family go thru chemo and it's nooooooo joke. I'll gladly contribute a couple of clips from my ever growing collection of unfinished projects.
