A quick update on Bob's (Maldar) status

[Maldar]

Thanks. I don't know how this took me so long to answer. I probably decided to reply later and forgot. Forgetting has been a real pain and could, potentially, lead to problems when they take these idiots to trial. I'm hoping my memory doesn't fail me.

Most of you have likely heard the term "phantom pain." I thought I had imagined what that would be like but my imagination was far from reality.
I keep getting an INTENSE pain in the "forearm, wrist, hand and fingers" of my left "arm." I grimace and reach for it (not an easy task with hoses everywhere) and the realization that it isn't there any more is a lot like it was the first time I was able to comprehend it had been amputated. It is a nightmare that happens many times a day. I thought I was able to understand what it would be like and have empathy for the people that are enduring that, but I couldn't have been much further from the reality of it all. I haven't said this before, but this sucks.

that does royally suck, Maldar. I cannot possibly imagine how horrible this has been for you. Keep positive thoughts, as difficult as that may be. All of us here in PAS think about you every day.

A friend of mine that was going through a horrible time in life once told me his philosophy in looking back at what he went through. It was nothing like what you are dealing with, but for him it was a feeling that he was literally in hell every day.

His quote, to the best of my recollection: "At some point I realized that anyone in hell, where I was, would have to literally go through hell to get out. Once I realized this, my focus changed from my location, to my destination. From that point forward, the journey didnt bother me because I knew I would someday get out, and I did."

Hang in there, my friend, and be strong. You know how I throw buckets of water on people that get into arguments here? And you know about that endless decanter? Well, all of us have endless buckets of water that we will throw on you as you keep going on your journey. The destination is well worth it.

And quit thinking about the red headed nurse!

This is Kristen. Daddy is unconcious again and is real bad. I am scared again. Dad's friend is here and put a message on here too.
I love him so much! I am scared he will die this time.

[Ciara]

I'm praying for him, and for you too, Kristen. Thank you for posting.

[Eleanor Rigby]

We're keeping you both in our thoughts and prayers Kristen.
