Joe update #6
I got a chance to see Joe briefly on Sunday. And by “I”, I’m of course referring to me, Sheila, NJ, Mike, Lorrie, Kris of cheesecake fame and James, yet another random extended family member of Mike’s who was staying at his house.
He was still in ICU with the hopes of moving to a room sometime today. I’ve not touched base with anyone today, so I’m going on the assumption that he has moved.
Big kudos to the ICU nurse who closed the curtain to the room and let all of us pile in there for an extra 30 minutes. The only reason Joe is/was still in ICU was pain management issues. And it’s a lot nicer to have a nurse five feet away when you need an extra hit of morphine than one that is at the end of a hall worried about some other patient who’s soiled her sheets — again.
All things considered, he looks good and is in good spirits. They did get him up and out of bed before we got there — a critical milestone towards getting out of ICU. He reported that it wasn’t very fun and hurt like hell, but he did it.
More tomorrow, or at any point when I receive updates. We’re hoping he’ll be out of the hospital by the weekend.

You may not see too much feedback from us (real) Southernererers (ie: slightly North of the Antarctic) but there are quite a few of us listening…all the best Joe.

Evo, Thanks for keeping us all in the loop. As crazy as it might seem, there are some fans who are still catching up, and getting updates from you guys helps keep us informed so that we can keep the rest of the world up to date.
Joe, enjoy the drugs while you got ‘em.
We are pulling for you.

Dear Joe,
Take this opportunity to “soil your sheets” as much as possible, because really, you the fuck is gonna judge you?
Breast,

Typical Evo… ‘I’ translating to a ‘metric bucket load of others’. But we shouldn’t be surprised, huh?
Joe, if you get a date with the nurse, make sure you find out if she has a sister… or female cousin… female room mate… And if she’d like to date an Aussie.
Oh… after you feel better.
Death to the Kuato one. Here’s to the nurse!!

You give those nurses hell, Joe!

NO… don’t give the nurses hell. Never give hell to those that control your medication.
Give them flowers. Date them. Marry one.
But not hell…
