tragedy in 3's?

[lobito]

This better be the LAST FUCKING ONE!

I'm sick and tired of this BULLSHIT happening to my family and friends!

Life isn't fair anymore.

 

[Vilac]

Lo...
I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I hope things get better for you on your end.

Best,
V~

Ditto on the not sure what is up hun but you are in my thoughts.

 

[lobito]

thanks Kids, but now I really don't want to stay here much for awhile. Life is sucking everyone in all around me.

First 2 cousins pass away, one around my age, and one much older.

Today, at 9:30am, as I was working with my best friend, but more importantly, my brother, a tree limb hit him, knocked him from his ladder and he fell flat on his back.

After spending a good amount of the day at the hospital with him, until the Docs told us to go home for the night, I was informed, he's got 4 broken vertebrae (sp?) and his spinal cord has burst. Not sure if he'll ever walk again.

There hasn't been very many moments today when I haven't balled like a fucking baby.

I'm not a religious person, but I am spiritual. I know God or whomever will do their best for my brother, but I also know there is a tremendous support system here at Lit, when someone really needs it. And right now I really need it, when I'm not around the rest of my loved ones in "R.L."

Lo(w)

 

[phrodeau]

Sorry to hear your troubles, but I really wouldn't rely on Lit supportiveness. At the moment there are too many crass assholes posting indiscriminately.

 

[SweetCherry]

Hugs to you, Lo. I don't know what to say to make you feel better, but I'll be praying for your brother's health.

 

[Freya]

So sorry to hear about your losses and your brother. I'll be thinking of you and him, and sending best wishes your way.

 

[pipercatt]

I am sending healing thoughts to you and your brother, Lo.

spiritual hugs, as well.

 

[Cheyenne]

You and your brother are both in my prayers, Lobito. Don't lose your faith.

 

[T.H. Oughts]

Sending hugs of warmth and best thoughts for the days and weeks ahead of you sweetie.....

 

[Spinaroonie]

Things will get better. I promise you... They will get better.

 

[peachykeen]

I know alllllll about it lo. go read my good news update, might perk you up a bit. Things do have a way of wroking out in the end.

 

[thumbs2_ca]

Damn

I know all the words in the world will not make you feel any better Lobito but I hope it helps knowing that an awful lot of people care and are here for you.
You and your brother are in my prayers.

 

[lobito]

thanks again to you kids here.

I had to get my mind as far away as I could tonight, so I played in his place for his softball team, we won and everyone signed the game ball for him, which I'll give to him tomorrow when I see him.

It's going to be a long road ahead for my brother, and he knows all of our family will be there for him and his family, as he always is for us.

Oh and phrodeau, I don't sweat the assholes anymore. Most of them I can give it all right back to. If people want to give me shit, then I've got plenty of back-up here. They drove me away for a bit, they can't keep doing it forever. I've said many times here tha I know who my "real friends" are, and I know who the posers are.

I happened to see a news story about Christopher Reeves today, and that was very encouraging. It lifted my spirits quite a bit.

Lo
(who's back as long as I'm in the states)

 

[freakygirl]

*hugs*

You and your family are in my thoughts

 

[thumbs2_ca]

yes

I happened to see a news story about Christopher Reeves today, and that was very encouraging. It lifted my spirits quite a bit.

I have a good friend that I used to hunt with. He was 19 when he broke his back one vertebrae from where Christopher Reeve broke his. I bought his book and apart from shedding more than a few tears I will never give up hope that he will be able to get out of a wheel chair. That man is very inspiring and his book is great.

I am so deeply sorry Lo, for all the tragedy you have been faced with as of late. I honestly don't have any real words of wisdom for you.

However, I will keep you and your brother and the rest of your family in my thoughts. All I can really do is send some healthy positive energy for both you and your brother.

Hang in there. It just has to get better. And, it usually does in it's own time.

 

[lobito]

Thumbs, if anyone can walk again, my bro is going to do it. It'll take time, but he'll do it. His first words when he saw his S.O. were, I'm sorry. Sorry for what? It's an ACCIDENT, those things happen. The Doctor told my sister he's got less than a 5% chance of walking, but in our minds he said that because IF he ever does again, it'll be a "miracle" in our eyes.

For now, his life as he knew it is over with, and he has to start all over again.

 

[MissTaken]

lo ,

Many hugs and prayers for your brother, you and your family.

There are many days of tears and forced smiles ahead. Remember to be real, to be supportive and look towards the future.

Christopher Reeves is , but one, who can live his life with changes. I know this sounds shallow and callous, it isn't meant to be.

When you are ready to hear my family's story with the C4 and C5 vertebrae, I will be happy to share.

Many more hugs,
Miss T

 

[lobito]

MissT, shallow and callous?

I didn't read it that way...

Please share away. I'm NO authority on spinal injuries, but you can bet your sweeeeeeeet azz, that I'm gonna read as much as I possibly can.

Lo

Feel free to PM me if you'd rather share that way.

For now, his life as he knew it is over with, and he has to start all over again.

He still has his family and friends to love and support him. That is heaps of what he had a few days ago also ...

I am here anytime you need an ear...

 

[Ms_Lilith]

Sending hugs and wishing good karma your way... *hugs*

If you ever need someone to listen, please PM me... I'd be glad to.
