I, like all of you, promised Deej that I would not make a big deal out of his condition, and I’m not. He’s still the same old Deej as far as everything else goes. But his wife just left this in the open thread.
My husband of 45 years is currently in a coma following a liver transplant. This was the place where he counted the most of his friends. While he is a fervent agnostic, I ask for your prayers for his recovery.
So please pray for Dave, and when he comes back remember our promise to him.
Thanks pups.
Is that normal?
Best wishes for his recovery, and for his wife and family.
On the way. I hope and pray for DJ’s full recovery.
@Haranguer: I don’t know if the coma is normal, but husband of 45 years is a pretty rare sight nowadays. Here’s hoping for many more.
Fingers crossed for a full and swift recovery.
I miss him……..sure is quiet around here sometimes without Dave to check blood pressure, other vitals…
I thought about him this morning, sent good thoughts his way……..
He may be a liberal…but he’s our liberal…..
Besides, I like him….
his family has weathered more than their share of recent tragedy and loss…….
So I pray for them.
I guess DJ did get some of that Dick Cheney money to score that transplant !/

Excellent, truly excellent, celebration time.
I hope Deenan can show him this thread…he’ll sure know he’s not in heaven then…..
I am smilin like a cheshire cat………..
Everything I said here, doubled and redoubled. And all praise to $DEITY that DJ was able to find a transplant. And our thoughts also go to you, Deneen, as you help nurse him back to health.
God is good, all the time!
Best wishes to DJ on a speedy recovery, and to Deneen, I wish you the strength and peace of mind to see it through. Kidney transplants are among the most major of surgeries, and I sincerely hope DJ is on the comeback trail. Thank you, Deneen, for keeping us up to speed. I am looking forward to his return.

A little late to the news, so I’ll just send up a prayer for his speedy recovery. Deneen says: He isn’t talking yet, No talking is good for you, I just wish he would forget how to use a keyboard…. I keed, I Keed…Dj get well and get your ass back here in the pound, You don’t wanna just leave… Read more »
In major surgery cases, ICU staff often put patients in a drug induced coma, to ensure they keep a close eye on him, do post op observations, and to allow the body to heal. It’s SOP.
All in good time.
Prayers sent on angel’s wings.
Oh wow. I didn’t even know! Been at my son’s baseball tournament all weekend. I’m SO glad he’s going to be OK!
See what happens when the Vikings invade?
Damn, I leave this place for a couple of days…
Thanks, Deneen, both for letting us know and for the glorious, joyous update!
Prayers continuing whether he wants them or not, and may he make a recovery that will have everybody’s heads spinning with amazement!
Deneen says:
Our imperial staff may be able to make certain posts “disappear.”
Deneen says:
You rang, Milady Deneen?
All I need is the word and this entire post will, erm, have never happened, so to speak.
I certainly won’t have any recollection of having ever seen it, no Ma’am 🙂
Prayers sent. Good to hear he’s doing well.
Someone will have to divulge to him that the donor was a far-right conservative…
…but only after he’s strong enough to withstand the shock!
Dick Cheney….?
Oh man, when it rains…. Here’s also hoping for his speedy recovery!
Just keep getting well.
Be glad it wasn’t a face transplant..and you got Helen Thomas as a donor
So it would seem…
Been a tad eventful hereabouts during your absence, Dave.
I can only imagine what you felt getting a new lease on life after a phone call.
And your wife loves you a lot, you old rogue……!
Good to hear from you…now back to our regularly scheduled programming…..
