Deej
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 !/

I’m glad he got his transplant! Liver transplants are TOUGH – and as others have said, he may be a Lib, but he’s OUR Lib. Partly because he has chosen to be a Liberal because of his intellectual analysis of issues. He lacks the hypocrisy and dogmatic dedication to idiocy that marks modern Liberalism. I think that’s why he fits in well here. Hurry up and get back to posting Deej – and you just missed the Monster Cookie ride here in Salem. Reach the Beach, a Century, is coming up on the 19th – Be cool if you could… Read more »
Sometimes the patient is purposely put in a coma for a while after traumatic surgery.
‘Sure hope this is Deej’s case.
I’m not inclined to believe he’d give up any discussion this soon: Last word kind’a guy n’ all.
The Empire goes quietly for days on end, turn your back to attend oter matters, and all hell breaks loose.
My appreciation has always been limited, but still … as Caveman said, Deej is our Liberal and the House troll. So today even Rurik prays for Deej to recover.
Here’s to a speedy recovery, Deej – and you ARE in our prayers.
Wouldn’t be the same around here without ya, buddy!
Deneen @ #:
Good news Deenan, please keep us posted. And let Deej know that we are all waiting to bust his balls again real soon.
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.
Best to you Deej, glad you got in for the ttransplant.
Hang in there Deneen……
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. There is a decent chance that he got a Republican kidney, and I’m curious to see what that may have done for him.
A little late to the news, so I’ll just send up a prayer for his speedy recovery.
Deneen says:
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 us here with just Muzzy..Btw where is that ignorant slut anywho?
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!
Did you really want a Occupy liver?
Prayers sent in your name Deej.
Yeah, we fuss, we’re reall good at that.
Not to worry, DJ, I’ll drink to MayDay for ya. Because that’s the kind of compassionate conservative I am. You just rest and get strong because who knows when Misha is gunna push the wrong button around here.
Just keep getting well.
Glad to see you are recovering Deej! The place wouldn’t be the same without you! We’re thankful you’ll be around a lot longer now! 🙂
Get Better Real Soon Deej.
Be glad it wasn’t a face transplant..and you got Helen Thomas as a donor
Good to see you back here and kicking, DJ !
Welcome back to the land of the living, Deej!
Good to see you on the proper side of the grass DJ. If you start to get cravings for Bourbon that means it was a Redneck Republican liver!
Go easy on the missus Dj. Her behavior was motivated by LOVE. Rest well, recover fast, and get your heiny back in the fucking game. This place is less without your presence.
The only easy day was yesterday….
Deej, What all these other guy’s said.
I miss ya bud, it’s been much less interesting without you stirring things up.
Glad you are up and barking Deej. You are my favorite liberal. Except that one guy who did that one thing with his tongue…but I digress. You are my favorite internet acquaintance liberal. Mom hugs and prayers and stuff.

Now hold on there, you just can’t throw that out there and leave it hanging! Details, we need details. And video if available.
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…..

coulda been worse….he could have gotten Charlie Sheens liver
Another take.
