Do you remember Mr Grimm?

Asked by KNOWITALL (29690points) November 30th, 2021

He touched base and said I could post for you all.

MrGrimm888 said privately:
Sorry I haven’t gotten to the pond in a while.
Long story short, I’ve been very sick.
I was given 4–6 days to live in February ‘21. I’ve obviously beaten that prognosis, and am currently on list, for an organ transplant.
...I have spent months in and out of the ICU over the past year or so. I have survived a living Hell, so far, that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

I have trouble seeing, or typing lately. That’s why I went away.
I know that you have some ties, to the pond, so please, feel free to pass this news along to all other jellies members.

I hope you are doing well and will try to get back involved when I have the abilities.

So very sorry to hear this. I hope you get the organ you need soon.

KNOWITALL's avatar

He’s such a good dude, I wish him the best, too. Hopefully he’ll be back soon.

Oh dear! I am so sorry this is happening to our friend. Please let him know that we are all thinking about him and hope there is something that can be done to ease his pain, and live a little better. I wish I could cook him up a big pot of joy.

He posted in Meta, below yours, @KNOWITALL.

Glad he’s still with us. Hopefully he beats the illness and is around for a long time.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@jca2 I saw that after I got his message, busy day. :)

Mr Grimm,

I seriously hope you are okay and get better. I have been so worried about you! Thank you for checking in and I wish you the best. Don’t rush coming back, but do come back soon!!!! Take your time and heal…

You have helped me so much when I was going thru all that legal shit with my ex and I won’t ever forget it. I hope you read that because I want you to know that. You were such a huge help to me. Please get better.

Thanks for letting us know, and of course, sympathy and best wishes to Mr Grimm!

I wish that you get better soon Mr. G!

LuckyGuy's avatar

I’m sorry I missed this post. Thank you for the update.

How can we help?

KNOWITALL's avatar

@LuckyGuy Got a liver you can donate? I don’t know anything about the process myself. Maybe he can tell us.

Patty_Melt's avatar

I believe they take part of a healthy liver from a living donor.
I’m unaware of any other possible details.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Patty_Melt I think that re-grows, too. I’ve been saving mine for my bio parents but looks like other things will get them before the alcohol’s effects.

Patty_Melt's avatar

I found this
It runs an hour, but it tells details, risks, recovery, and more.

If successful, each liver portion grows, but in size only. It does not regrow the absent other part, so no, it can’t be done twice.

MrGrimm888's avatar

^Ineresting.
I don’t believe I could ask someone to be living donor though.
In my life, both in law enforcement, and out. I have beaten the odds too many times to count. If I told you half of the shit I’ve survived, I doubt you would believe it…

I don’t seem bound, even effected, by astonishingly stacked odds, and statistics.

Fact. I’m simply hard to kill…

I plan to rely upon my uncanny ability to survive any situation, and my hard head, to fight through this as well…
If not. I’ve already overstayed my life here. I’ll have to let fate decide….

Be Well. You sound like you are truly blessed as well as one tough cookie.

You are in my prayers.

MrGrimm888's avatar

^What I have, as far as talent, is more a curse, than blessing. I don’t claim to understand it…

Mimishu1995's avatar

Our friend is responding!

Mimishu1995's avatar

I wish I could help too, but I don’t have anything to help with. I’m not financially capable, and I’m too far away from you.

All I can offer is a hug.

MrGrimm888's avatar

^Hey Mimi! Hug accepted, returned in favor.

Mimishu1995's avatar

Fact. I’m simply hard to kill…

I believe you, judging from your stories here and how many times you just bounced back from impossible things.

Strauss's avatar

Hang in there, @MrGrimm888!

SergeantQueen's avatar

Where is he? His last visit was December 30th.

I hope all is well Mr.Grimm.

MrGrimm888's avatar

Sorry guys. I was in the hospital for a bit.
Life gifted me with a second staphylococcus infection plus complications.
It sucked. But. Worked my way through it.
I think I just passed my 1 year diagnosis of 4–6 days to live.

chyna's avatar

^ I’ll be honest, I was afraid to open this question, but so glad I did, and so glad you are still with us.

SergeantQueen's avatar

@chyna me too.

Mr. Grimm, I’m happy you are here.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Hang in there !

Mimishu1995's avatar

@MrGrimm you almost gave me a heart attack there!

((((((((((((Hug)))))))))))

MrGrimm888's avatar

Peace and love to all. Sorry for the drama. I left my phone at my parents place and in rough shape a few weeks ago.

KRD's avatar

Hey @MrGrimm888 how have you been doing recently?

Patty_Melt's avatar

Much love, Grimmy.
Your silence had me worried.

Kardamom's avatar

Glad to see you here @MrGrimm888 : )

longgone's avatar

Oh yay, you’re back!

LuckyGuy's avatar

Great to see you. I think of you every time I watch the East Coast weather report.
Rest easy!

Strauss's avatar

Hey, @MrGimm888. Not many jellies see their own memorial!~~

Glad to hear you’re doing better!

SergeantQueen's avatar

Is he still okay??

Tropical_Willie's avatar

He was here on Monday 29th.

KRD's avatar

How is he? @Tropical_Willie the Monday 29th August or other months?

MrGrimm888's avatar

Greetings. Still on the right side of the grass.

I just got back from the hospital.
Apparently I was found unresponsive in the tub.long story short, I survived. Went through Hell. I pretty much died.Had a feeding tube and lots of shit.

SergeantQueen's avatar

MrGrimm888 Please please please tell me you are okay.

What happened exactly?? what needs to happen to make you better???

SergeantQueen's avatar

Do you need to be dead to donate a liver??? because if not can i give you mine. I probably don’t need it in that case.

LuckyGuy's avatar

@MrGrimm888 It is great to see you’re on the top side of the grass – even if it means you have to mow it.
How have you been surviving through these weather events?

MrGrimm888's avatar

I’m like it.

Mimishu1995's avatar

@MrGrimm888 How are you doing today?

MrGrimm888's avatar

I’d be better, if I could sleep.

Mimishu1995's avatar

Do you need me to sing a song to help you sleep? :)

MrGrimm888's avatar

Couldn’t hurt.
