[madcollie]

Hello all,

Those that have been around a while know me, those that are new just call call me M/C, a S.P.I.T.A! Anyways, we have a bad situation here! You may not be aware of the fact that we may lose a member of our family. Puddle Jumper is in a VERY bad way right now and needs our help. ALL MEMBERS NEEDED!

This young man has been dealt a rough hand to play in life and that life may be cut short. I would like to share some of an e-mail sent to me by our friend...

#1 "Sorry haven't email ya in a while things are ok and keep on gettin it and not slow me down but the heat has takes a ton out of me and I have to rest in order not to end up in the hospital."

"I was accepted into Nova Fairfax kidney program so time is of the essence.
About the only thing I need now is for a check in the mail with anytype of dollar amount the government or anyone would give me so I can pay bills and have food on the table. I do get assistance but..."

"I'll keep ya posted and tell Rich that I'm well and post any of this on there for the others. Talk soon I haven't forgot about you."

#2 "No problem old friend, things are doing ok. One of my chair buddies at dialysis has asked me to move in with her(no I'm not even thinking about any of that lol) and it will be cheaper for me to live and actually able to have a little money to keep me going and its a good thing I'll actually have home cooked meals instead of what ever I can afford. I'll let you go I promise that this situation in high spirits nothing gona let me down no way."

There is no way I can read this and not be touched so here is
MY CHALLENGE TO ALL MEMBERS!!!!
SHOW YOU CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you can go without a double latte for 1 day,
If you can get a regular instead of super sized once,
If you don't need that extra dough-nut in the morning..

I will MATCH every $$ to help our member up to $10 per person and a max of $400! Sorry folks but I'm just a blue collar worker and not rich.
DON'T send anything to me, I don't want it, send it where it will do good, PJ!

PJ, you tell me and I'll double my help by that amount. DUDE, we want you posting here for a LOOOOONNNNGGGGG time!


NOW THOSE WHO HAVE THE BRASS, PLEASE HELP AND I'LL SPEND MY HARD EARNED PAY TO MATCH IT!

Hey PJ, A Chair Buddy kinda sounds fun you can always talk about the first thing that pops up . Moving in is a big step. Now you kids remember to be safe. I wish someone would cook for me.

In all seriousness PJ, if you see this, let us know how we can help. I only know you Thur the posts you've shared with the world. I think thats enough to call you a friend.

Let us help if we can!!!

[puddle jumper]

Thanks M/C, bong, and everyone else. I had an accident with the scooter today. The tire separated from the wheel and I'm banged up good but nothing required stitches or an ER visit. I I was riding through an intersection when my scooter started to wobble and I went down. At least some folks were stopping and asking if I was ok and helped get my bike out of the road and into the MCd's parking lot. I didn't look to much at the thing cause I knew it would bring on more pain emotionally. I'm all bandaged up but the compression is easing the pain along with neosporine with pain killer in it. Ill keep everyone posted and Thanks again for your thoughts, $$, and all that good wishie washie stuff lol !!! PJ

[madcollie]

Damn it John, that's NOT what I meant with the title of this thread.

I wasn't looking into my crystal ball or even using my ESPn!

Would you PLEASE take it easy?

[Bashan]

Did I miss the donation address? Rich

[LUKE]

mc, your crystal ball sure is working...can you pm me the winning number for the lotto tomorrow?
pj, all the while,we all thought that you were in the dialysis center and can hardly walk or something,,we didn't know that you can still ride your scooter,,,pls be extra careful, and pls avoid doing strenuous work until you get better.,,you need to prepare yourself physically and mentally for your upcoming kidney transplant. riding a scooter can't do you any good at this point in time...believe me, i do creatinine/ blood urea nitrogen/ creatinine clearance and CBC testing every single day of my life(except weekend of course), they shoot up when patient is under stress and with damaged renal cells caused by extensive physical exertion.,you don't want to damage the remaining functional cell in your kidney.
take it easy pj...you also might want to try Naturopathic medicine. ,it'a all about proper diet and lifestyle...this helped a lot of kidney patient recover easily.

i'm not sure if there are "pressure points " in our body directed to the kidney...let's ask rich.

heal soon pj!

[madcollie]

Not yet Rich, I think Puddle Jumper has had a few things on (what's left of) his mind.

I just sent him an e-mail to give me the address or use the one I have saved in FedEx for him. I will give it to you as soon as I have a reply. I also told him NOT to post it, don't want scammers or BS going to his home. I think he has enough crap to deal with right now, don't you?

If you don't mind, I'd like to ask if you would assist in relaying that info because there are many here now that don't really know me and may not feel comfortable sending donations other wise.

People, even 2 or 3 bucks will be appreciated and matched, $ 4 $! If that's just not possible then I suggest signing that organ donor card, give a pint of blood, do what you can but get off your butts and do SOMETHING! The life you save may just save yours someday!

M/C

[Bashan]

Sure, just let me know what you need me to do. Rich

[puddle jumper]

Yes please consider signing your organ donor cards! Now I know some for religious reasons that isn't allowed thats ok its the thought that counts and I'm not gona get all religious on anyone that is there personal belief and I respect that. The hell of a ride I took yesterday well I hope that it doesn't happen to anyone else. Keep the tires inflated and check them often cause you don't want what happened to me happen to you!!!! All the thanks for everyone that is helping me through this time in my life were even having friends to talk to is very important. Luke your a funny man and one day along with the rest of ya I will come and visit!! again thanks everyone I wont forget ya and keep everyone posted on whats going on!!!!!
Bash I think a special post that needs addressed is tire inflation cause I know that issue is what happened to me safety is very impotant and this needs to be addressed not only with a post but maybe a video to go along with it.

[puddle jumper]

To answer luke about my kidneys I was born with one and its removed and the transplant that rejected has been removed also. The only pain I suffer from is were they poke me with garden hoses(I have to use a 14 gauge needle) at but soon if I can get them to cooperate I'll have whats call a button hole a sight were they repeat the stick in the same place and creates a tunnel for non-pointed needles to stick an easier way to describe is the tunnel is like a pierced ear the tunnel is the same. this will help ease the pain. The other pains that I have are migraines cause of treatment and a bad back soon I'll get Rich to crack it for me lol. I'll keep peeps posted PJ

[madcollie]

I finally got the address for PJ. Anyone who would care to help can PM Bashen (Rich) or myself.

Thanks in advance to all who do!

[Bashan]

Yep, just send me a PM and I'll get it to you. Rich

[Bong]

Thanks for the Info M/C. I'll be going to get a card this evening when it cools off a bit.

Oh PJ, No need for thanks friend. Just take it easy for a while and know that some of us do care!!!

Be safe and post soon!!!!
