Digging my way out!
Hi all. Back at the hospital ICU waiting room again. No info yet. It's almost 9am visiting hours, so I will know more soon.
My PM box is almost full, so if you can't reach me, or if I haven't answered you yet, I will soon. If you need to reach me, again, email [email protected] and I will endeavor to check mails later on when I get the chance.
Thinking about work and paints keeps my mind at ease. If I only thought serious stuff, my skull would explode. Hence my need to address work issues. Thanks for letting me do that.
Anyway, be back when I can. Hope I am not missing cool talk and stuff. I so miss not being in here more often. So much fun going on, and I have missed most of it. Haven't even read the SDCC stories yet.
Be back later with info. Thanks for the support guys.

Digging my way out!
Thanks guys. Mostly, thanks for being here. I don't have many places to talk to the wall, you know what I mean, to a blank slate that I know someone else reads that maybe cares. So I can spill some info and at least be able to tell SOMEONE what is going on.
Looks like Ma is gonna be there in ICU 5 to 6 days. Her right kidney is in some stressed condition, unknown yet, and looks like there was some cardiac enzyme present in her blood that could mean she had a heart attack, or was ripe for one. Either way, it ain't good. I am at least glad she is in ICU, watched and cared for, and will be for a while. My sister had to leave to go back to Atlanta for a time, so it's just me and Pa here alone, and us visiting Ma in ICU.
Feeling scared this go round. I am keeping optimistic. I have to. I dread bad news, but am ready if it comes. Anyway, it means more than I can say knowing you guys care. Really. You have no idea. THANK YOU for letting me vent. Keeps my head straight. And sharing the work. SO glad that is up and going again.
I keep reminding myself of that old DUNE litany, which is something like this, "Fear is the mind killer, the little death. I will face my fear and allow it to sweep over me and through me and past me, and in the end, only I will remain." It's times like this that it comforts me to know I can pseudo quote Sci Fi stuff and have friends online understand what I mean.
Anyway, I will admit, for once, I am afraid. She just can't keep taking this on and on. I hope. I pray, but I mostly hope I am ready. Please keep her and us in your thoughts, and think of fun things like Hickses and Aliens and Jokers and all the other cool things. Thank God we have and can share all these here together. As a family.
Seriously. We have a lot here. It is a treasure. (Glad we all had a chance to thank Dave this last week!
) Let's fight to always have this great place.
Be back again when I know more.
And again, thanks.
Tired but still here....

Les, my entire family is praying for you and yours, and yes I even include my inlaws as part of my family.
I hope everything turns out well Les. It's a shame these kinds of things have to even be dealt with in life.

Les , its unbelievable how much what your going through now it reminding me of past times with my Grandmother. She mostly had problems with strokes which she had regular.
Its not physically what your both going through that is bringing everything back to me but mentally. Its very hard to deal with and can be very emotional.
Its great how you can vent in here , always good to get it all out.
The ICU has to be the most well looked after place in any hospital so she will definitely be well looked after there. I will pray for you and your family Les , be sure to keep strong pal.
Don't feel pressured in anyway to finish these heads , family always comes first and at this time its definitely a time for family matters.
I keep coming on this thread , not to see your work ( well I do because its awesome) but to see how a friend is doing .
Life can be horrible at some points but if it wasn't for these times good times wouldn't be what they are. I'm sure things will only get better Les.
Make sure you look after yourself as well as you and your family.
Keep up the good work Les.
From what I can see your dealing with this very well and its hard to stay strong at these times.
Its unbelievable that with all this on your plate your work is still looking so amazing !.
Were all here bro when you need to let it all out !.
Just type and we'll read !
My thoughts and prayers are with you !

I thought in light of all the Bale heads you got on your plate, and all that you're going through right now a quote by Thomas Wayne would be appropriate.....
"And why do we fall, Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up."

You know, this is one of those things were no matter what you say, it doesn't seem like enough. Hang in there. Don't think about what can happen. Only focus on what is happening right now. She is getting the best care possible and you're doing everything you can. She is very lucky to have a son who cares as much as you.

We're all thinking about you Les. Haven's had as much chance to stop in and post with all the fracking moving (ALMOST done, just last minute tchotchkes and clean up at the old house, and putting everything in place at the new one), but I've been making sure to check in on how you guys are doing, and Autumn asks after you often. You hang in there.
You've got that right, I've discussed toys on the internet for well over a decade now, and the Freaks board has the most community of any site I've been a part of.
Thank God we have and can share all these here together. As a family.

So sorry to hear these last bad news Les.
Bad year, huh?
I know how scary these moments are. It's a strange state one drifts into when confronted with our parent's (and our own) mortality. The last months of my father's illness are very hazy to me, things went on I suppose, but as his health declined I really don't remember how it was. He was mostly "gone" (kidney failure does that, the body starts becoming poisoned and the person you knew slowly fades), so I guess I shut off those last weeks. I do remember clearly the last night though, as I sat next to him and held his hand until he stopped breathing.
I guess it was a good way to go, at least I hope so.
I'm not sure one is ever ready for that, but somehow we manage to pull through and grieve in our own ways.
Thanks for letting me share this. It hurts even now, many years on.
Stay strong Les. People feel one's strength and it gives them hope and strength.
Here's hoping for the best.

Les, your post sounds enthusiastic, I'm hoping things have taken a turn for the better and your spirits have lifted again.
Sorry to hear about your Moms health. Hopefully the good thoughts and prayers from us can bring about a healing.
Take care Bro.
Take care Bro.
Oh darn Les! If you would have let me known about needing help with the PPO today on Vader and Stormie I would have been more than happy to help!
