Some good vibrations for a friend in the hospital [More:]A very close friend of mine was taken to the hospital yesterday morning for severe abdominal pain. The doctors kept him overnight for observation, but I just found out he was kept in the ICU! That sounds really serious to me. I'm gonna go visit him at lunch today and bring him a book and my Nintendo DS, if they'll let me.

I'd appreciate some warm thoughts and groovy vibrations, that he won't have to have surgery. He's living far away from his family, so his roommate, MuddDude, and I are the only people he's got to take care of him.
A little message for your friend.

I've got a friend who just came back from the hospital after having a lump on her neck examined. They're going to have it biopsied. I'm feeling really scared too.

Here's wishing your friend (and mine) all the best.

Aww, big hugs to everyone with friends waiting for news. The waiting game is especially tough in February. You're in my thoughts.

You're awesome. That's exactly what someone stuck in a hospital needs. You're giving him something fun to do, something to distract from worry.

Sending good thoughts! To your friend, too, hadjiboy.

Thanks everyone!

MuddDude and I trekked over to the hospital earlier. My friend was asleep when we got there, but the nurse let us wake him up. He looked good - said he was feeling much better (although that was probably the morphine drip ...) He looked eager to come home, and it seemed like they were just waiting on some test results to figure out the next step. He's pretty sure that he'll get to leave sometime tomorrow. Thankful for the book, but turned down the DS (dude is probably pretty grateful to get an excuse to sleep for 12-14 hours a day).

Honestly, he also seemed surprised that anyone would fuss over him. We work in the same building, and his boss and coworkers know we're friends, so people have been stopping me all day to ask if I've seen him, if he's feeling better, etc. He's a quiet, reserved person, and I don't think he realizes how many people care for him.

((((hadjiboy and his friend)))) Waiting for biopsy results is def. the WORST kind of waiting. My fingers and toes are crossed in hopes that it all goes well.

Healing vibes on the way to muddfriend and hadjifriend.

I'm still waiting on the results of my CT scan. And I, again, thank the gods for codeine.

Sending positive vibes your way as well, deborah.

Thanks a lot for all the good wishes folks; I'm sure my friend will appreciate it. In fact, I think I'm going to send a link of this post to her so that she knows how many people care for her (she's on Mefi too).
