if you believe in good energy

[fictional]

...please spare some. Daniel's cousin, Brian -- younger, just about my age -- is in the hospital, after having suffered two strokes and a heart attack. He is waiting for open heart surgery right now; chances he will survive this look... well, you can imagine.

Daniel is, naturally, freaking out a bit. Something of an understatement. I don't even know what to say.

Things are a little rough round here.

If you have any good thoughts to spare. You know.

Life seems so fragile right now.

Jesus christ. How do these things even happen?

The good news, such as it is, is that if he does survive, he's entirely young enough to make a full recovery (says the person who has had to learn waaaaaay too much about strokes lately).

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I don't even know what to say.

[magnetgirl.livejournal.com]

I'm REALLY starting to think there are fucking demons behind this shit.

[rm.livejournal.com]

I really hate when sentences like this sound rational.

[magnetgirl.livejournal.com]

I mean, really, right? What else could explain 4 of my close friends having autoimmune disorders, my friends and their loved ones getting the big C in their 20's and 30's and the insane amount of strokes happening to people we know in the last 6 months? I just-it's like I hear a horrible story EVERY DAY these days-and not in the news...in my circle of friends/extended circle! I remember when things like this would happen once or twice a year...I am just fucking puzzled and disarmed...!

[rm.livejournal.com]

I keep attributing it to getting older, but you guys are all way younger than me and this shit was not going on in my social circle when I was your age.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

It is extremely fucking weird.

I too, have been trying to attribute it to growing older, but...

it just seems. Wrong. I dunno.

I am feeling very weird these days.

[magnetgirl.livejournal.com]

I second that and say we call Sam and Dean!

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Well, this is Dean's [old] number: 1-866-907-3235. Don't know if it still works, though.

"hey you've called club (something) from WB.com, featuring bands like...blah blah blah...get on the list"

:(

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

How much do I love that you tried it? *g*

So, so, so sorry to hear this. I'm thinking of you both; and sincerely hoping for the best.
*Hugs*
Samantha

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. It is greatly appreciated. *hugs*

Somehow it's always hard when it happens to people who are so young, I think. I feel worst for D's aunt, I think. I mean, watching something like this happen to your kid's got to be the worst thing ever, bar none.

[troygirl68.livejournal.com]

Believe me; now I have children of my own, I understand that completely. Let's hope he's strong and will pull through without any long term ill effects. Clearly he's surrounded by a lot of love, and that's got to be helping him somewhere inside himself.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I really believe all that stuff. Love and positive energy and good thoughts. Hence LJ post.

[coyotegoth.livejournal.com]

Fuck, I'm sorry. Wishing all concerned the best.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[magnetgirl.livejournal.com]

For fucks sake! 2 strokes? Heart attack? OUR AGE???

Fuck. How did we end up in this fucked generation health-wise? I mean nothing makes any goddamn sense anymore!

Poor D!!! Is he still at work? Should I call or email??

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

He couldn't get into work today -- car/snow disaster. And then this. I'm sure he'd appreciate either.

[magnetgirl.livejournal.com]

Done and done. Fuck on a STICK, man. How are you, lovey?

[framefolly.livejournal.com]

*sending you positive vibes for Brian*

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. Seems like it's working. He made it through surgery, and is still breathing, so that's very good. Still critical, but looking better!

[marchek.livejournal.com]

Oh god. My thoughts are with you and Daniel's family.

I just got news that my friend's cousin has stage four cancer in four major organs.

Demons really are the only explanation that makes sense right now.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

I know! It's crazy. Daniel says to say thank you; it's much appreciated. He made it through surgery, and is still breathing, so things are cautiously optimistic. I hope your friend and her family are holding up okay.

[lolliejean.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry to read this. Sending out the super strength xenajean mojo. xoxox

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

I really hope for all the best. If either of you need anything from me, I'm here for both of you.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. I passed on your message to D. and he was really grateful. He made it through surgery, and is still breathing, so things cautiously optimistic. xoxo.

Lots of good thoughts and good energy to you and Daniel and Brian.

He made it through surgery, and is still breathing, so I think the LJ mojo is working! *g*

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

That's horrible.

*thinking good thoughts*

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

LJ Mojo's mighty. He made it through surgery, and is still breathing, so cautious optimism is our watchword. Thanks for your good thoughts!

[contrarywise]

I hope for the best for Brian, and will be keeping him, Daniel and his loved ones in my thoughts.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Thank you, especially for sparing some with your injury etc. Glad you're back in Internet Land. LJ Mojo seems to be working? He made it through surgery, and is still breathing, so yay! Daniel wants me to say thanks also; he's very touched.

[contrarywise]

Yay indeed! I'm glad to hear it. I'm happy to lend support where and when I can. And thanks for your good wishes sent my way.
