Jeff just announced on FB that he had a pulmonary embolism

[slimmouse]

Just logged in from a loaner PC to wish you all the best Jeff, as my own pc recently had a microsoftory embolism from which it never recovered.

Help is however on its way, and just like yourself no doubt, I'll be back

"I don't know, I passed through it once but I've never really been there." That hit hard...

I'm so very, very sorry to hear this, and wish you a speedy and full recovery. God bless you and keep you for your family (and keep them for you!)

Hello Jeff'
Sorry to hear about your illness, but I'm sure you will experience a full recovery. Thank you for establishing RI, which means so much to all of us.
Sending you and your family much love and many hugs,
Peachtree Pam

He also says:
"Recovering. Grateful for a smart, loving wife. And hurray for socialized medicine: publicly-funded MRI within three hours of entering hospital. God bless Tommy Douglas."

Phil Collins is in the hospital???

God bless and get best soon.

Get good, Jeff. Thanks for everything.

[Occult Means Hidden]

I echo the sentiments found here.

[Jeff]

Gosh. Thanks all.

I'm recovering at home now and feeling pretty lucky. Moving slower, but picking up speed daily.

I was a hypochondriac in my youth, so maybe that prepared me to roll with this. My wife convinced me to go to the hospital. I just wanted to go back to bed, because I could hardly breathe standing up. My self-diagnosis of bronchitis was shot down quickly in the ER. Meat-life can be such an inconvenience.

And yes: MRI within 3 hours. No billing, no inquiring about insurance coverage. That's the way it should be. I hope we never lose that. (Though Canada still needs a pharmacare plan!)

Anyway, I'm still here. Also: still here.

Well, thank you, Jeff. All I can really say is that because of you many great friendships have been forged. It is somewhat inexplicable really. But yes I can tell you that you have a somewhat vast network of friends. You are a great soul, dude. I guess, basically, we're all "great souls", but someone had to send it into motion, as it were, for us all to meet one another. Otherwise none of us would have never met.

You're loved, mang. And love goes all around for all of us kindred spirits.

Seconded. Thanks again, Jeff.

And sorry to my PNW Riggie buddies for having been in total absentia. I miss you fellow freaks!
