Best friend update

Hey all,

in case you don't already know, tomorrow morning [livejournal.com profile] iahklu will be taking, Jeff, to the hospital to have his second round of brain surgery.

in case you didn't already know, he found out over IBR weekend in february that he has a brain tumor, and 5 days later he had a 17-hour operation to remove a portion of the tumor. it's not malignant, but it's big, and it's located in a difficult spot.

tomorrow they'll be going in to remove more of the tumor. the surgeons are now talking about the likelihood of a third surgery after this one to get parts they can't get this time, and then radiation treatments to zap the bits that are left after that.

as Phil did last time, He'll be posting updates about jeff's condition in his journal while he's in the hospital. he's [livejournal.com profile] beg1n, if you'd like to follow his progress.

I will be driving to the hospital immediately after work and staying there until Jeff comes out of surgery.

Thanks babe. I do too, I know that my focus is defenitly NOT on work today. But I am going to try to keep busy in hopes that today goes fast and well.

hugs

I'm wondering... maybe setting up a Paypal account to collect funds for Jeff would be handy to have?
This close to the end of the month, I don't have much cash on hand due to rent being due in a week. But I could throw a few bucks on a credit card, and with Paypal, it would be an easy way to do it.

Just a thought.

I am using bearguy@bearguy.com paypal account to collect funds for Jeff. I am even covering the fees so he gets 100% of the donations. Hugs

:-) On the 11th I posted something, and posted in Jeff's journal today. No worries.
