I spoke to two individuals at this hospital just now. Ron is in recovery probably from a G.I. test. I will try again in a few hours.
sad news to hear... hopefully your dad can pull through this.
Really hoping this is not goodbye. Best wishes and lots of love to RC and family. Thanks so much for the updates.

Seconded: we all love you, Ronny. :bluesad:
Sending good mojo RC's way.
I have been unable to locate Ronnie at his hospital after several calls. I've spoken with 4 individuals (all very nice) in a huge campus (apparently).
He is there. I will try again later.
Sending my best to a funny guy with a big heart.

I'll try tomorrow. Thanks for updating us.
Ah hell. This is not the kind of new I want to hear right after leaving an evacuation shelter.
I mean, the part where he sounds better is hopeful, but it's bad just nearing he got to this state.
This place wouldn't be the same without him.
I have a number that should work direct. Busy all morning, Ron was maybe out for tests, spoke to yet another nurse. No answer later. Everybody is lovely, it is a big busy place.
I have that phone number and a room number.

Thank you Allhallows. You are a good friend.
I just tried at least a third time today direct right now, about 7:30 where Ronnie is. I have not had any luck including thru hospital switchboard earlier.
I have high hopes.
Sending best hopes and wishes to him and his family.
Direct line: no answer
Thru hospital switchboard lovely operators: no answer
I'll keep trying.
I can and will remove if any problem: Hospital: 269-226-7000 Direct: 269-226-7994
We should send him a single copy of our favorite bad movie.
Hope he recovers soon.
Was this today and thought of him.

I talked with Ronnie today! He is getting better and expects to be home in a week. He is again eating solid food.
He says not smoking and drinking is killing him...! :bouncegiggle:
Please tell him I said hey.
I hope he's ok.
I don't come in much anymore but he's a good guy.

Great news! Just put DRACULA for him in loop to make the recovery official.
Truly a relief! Thank you AHD.
I think Ron was discharged yesterday... which would mean he's gone home.

Genuinely glad to hear it. World is a brighter place with you in it.
Why's your phone out? If it's money it seems to me people here might send you some to get to be able to talk to you. Walmart does some money order thing I used once yewes ago.
Seems like some folks here are eager to talk with you, they might be willing to loan you a little to do it.

I needed a new hand-set cord. I don't own a cell phone. Just a landline.

Now tell him not to ever do this to us again. He's not allowed to die or get sick or anything like that.

is Ronnie ok?
he hasn't checked in since early November
He mentioned his phone was off, I believe, so it could just be something like that.
I called earlier this week and left a message. I don't know what's happening.
I miss the old guy. Hope he is doing well and recovering nicely.
He's back he posted in my nuclear thread.
I spoke with Ronnie tonight. He is much better and quit drinking! His son is still living with him (went to work an hour or so ago). All is good.
Thank you, John.
That is good to hear. I miss having the crazy old coot in here, though!
