The last update I got, he's recovering. Prognosis looks good. He's had some surgery for the internal bleeding and he's got to go through some physical therapy. His friend is going out to Texas to see him tomorrow. I sent her a message asking what hospital he's in and any phone number I can call him at. As soon as I hear anything else, I let you guys know ASAP.
As for the question of why I editted my original post, someone had concerns about keeping Dave's private life private. Yes it is true that Dave does keep details of his private life to himself. I respect that and would never violate his trust in me. Nor would I violate anyone else's trust. But I think alot of us, really are more than just board buddies. We socialize outside of the board. Dave and I chat all the time when he's online. I consider myself more than just an online buddy with Dave. I'm sure a few of you feel the same way. I felt it was important for me to let those people who care about him know what's going on. God forbid, something like this happens to anyone else, put yourself in their shoes. Would you want your friends to know? I know Dave does because he specifically asked his friend to send out the email regarding his condition. This was immediately following his accident. If Dave wanted to keep it hush hush, he wouldn't have made that request. I'm not faulting the person who asked me to editted it. I understand and respect that persons condition but based on the replies and the concensus of the posts, I don't think I was wrong in my judgement.
I'll get off my soap box now and go back to violating F-tard's overgrown, fungus infested mother.
