Jeff Rubin (geekmacdaddy) has been gifted a trip to the ER due to a heart attack. He's stable and recovering but has a bit of a road ahead of him. I've launched a GoFundMe for Jeff to help cover some necessities until he can work again. You can find it here:
https://gofund.me/e5560ae2 (https://gofund.me/e5560ae2)

I sent him some $$ before launching the GoFundMe but I will be putting a things up for sale in the BST area which will all go toward the fund. So, if you don't want to contribute directly, but want whats I gots you'll be doing a good deed :)

They're talking about maybe having to do dialysis in the morning, if they can't get her kidney functioning more than 10% tonight.Quote from: jimilee on November 25, 2024, 10:12:28 PMOh dammit!

If this is too personal don't answer, but are both kidneys failing? I don't know very much about this.

Quote from: matmosphere on November 28, 2024, 02:04:05 AMWell, we got home last night. Things are good and no more dialysis is needed for now. She's got to follow up with the nephrologist to see what we need to do to prevent this from happening again.Quote from: jimilee on November 27, 2024, 03:08:14 AMQuote from: madbean on November 27, 2024, 03:04:55 AMOh, no problem.

Dude please. You kept yourself alive. The community just helped a little to keep the lights on while you recovered. As many of us would do for anyone who is NotAGeek.
But, I will say: no more 8-Balls for you at the dance hall on Saturday nights.
