Let's help Ruth and Dave

[chrisb]

New to her - all wheel drive - finally

 

[Scottmoose]

Definitely useful. 😉 As soon as I get paid for last month, donation from here on its way. Sorry I haven't been around -minor health issues here (nothing compared to what Dave & some others have) + swamped with work. Hope to be back soon though.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Thanks for your support Scott. Hope you recover quickly.

So, these close calls seem to be affecting many of the bodies orbiting in proximity to the gravitational mass of Planet10 - in my own sector, it being Mrs B.

Dave's prognosis seems to be improving - in my last short visit with him - last Tuesday- he was pretty alert, mostly cogent - this is Dave, after all- able to maneuver into / out of his wheelchair unaided, give puckish abuse to the staff, and complain about the food choices. My apologies for any redundancies in recent reportage, but I've had other items on my plate as well.

The outpouring of well-wishes, volunteering of assistance and financial contributions is heartening enough to make me want to reconsider my general misanthropy.

Big thanks to all - warm hug to you Cal, as only Ruth can deliver, and mahalo nui loa from the desert wastelands of Kihei

Ever enjoyed hospital food?

The food at The American Hospital in is Paris actually quite good. Wifey had a 1 week stay after getting a kidney infection. As a guest of the patient you can have wine.

I'm in, fwiw.

We can't always put a name to the anonymous donors but sometimes Sherlock helps us out.

Thanks most recently to: "I'm in, fwiw." 😉

A nice burgundy with breakfast? - I'm in

Thanks for doing this Cal. Best wishes to Dave. Donation made.

Getting pretty close now.
I like getting up in the morning and seeing the new total. Makes my day that much better.

Hey Cal how long is the gofundme going to run?

 

[Cal Weldon]

I don't know, I will ask.

EDIT: Apparently it can be left any length of time. Ruth is hoping to keep it up until Dave is released from the hospital, which at this point is undetermined.

Thanks Cal. Members helping members is something that makes forums like this great. Even cyber friends can be great friends.
Here's to Dave's recovery and future health!!!

Thanks, Cal.

 

[chrisb]

Cal, was that a major disturbance in the force, or just the sound of your wallet going "excellent cause, but, still -wowsers"?

 

[Cal Weldon]

Friends look after friends.

 

[hajj]

It's a great thing to keep the campaign open.
I can at least budget a recurring amount every couple of weeks 🙂

And Cal, Dave is lucky to have you as a friend!

 

[Cal Weldon]

Thanks hajj, but I have to say this really is a community thing. It's about Dave, Ruth, Bonnie, Chris, and the diyAudio members. Those who show a concern and are willing to lend a hand. That's what makes this campaign something special to me.
Cheers to all, keep up the good work. There is much to be done before we have Dave back. Thankfully he has Ruth at his side.

For Ruth and Dave

Contributed and left some comments on the main site. I wish Dave as speedy recovery as possible and my thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Sun will be up soon and I awake to yet another positive increase in the total. This is heartwarming.

Is there a thread on what happened?
