Chin up, mate -- keep fightin'!

Just got to work...turned on my puter, and found this thread.............BUMMER.
Card on the way, today. Prayers will be going out daily.
Having lived in the Great State of Texas for several years I know all about black ice.
Scary stuff.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. God speed your recovery brother...

I sent him a pretty funny card this morning. I hope first, that it makes him feel a little better and second, that he can read it.
I'm kinda proud to be a member of such a fine group that has demonstrated care for an injured comrade. Way to go, everyone!

I know I am really late here, but my card will go out tomorrow. Coinneach told me about it the other day, and youve been in my prayers since. Hope ya get better soon.
 
Here's the address again, taken from the original thread:

Ian
Room 466
Bethania Hospital
1600 11th Street
Witchita Falls, TX 76301-4300

Hang in there, LawDog!
 
One card on the way to Whiskey Falls from a fellow TEXAN.

Darn Dr. must not have been trained in a TEXAS med school; otherwise, he/she would have known to use Amazing GOOP to put that severed scalp back on Ian's head. Used a tube to reattach my house gutters a few years ago--they're still a hangin'.

*** BTW -- heard the major stockholder of HALLMARK GREETING CARDS lives in Denton, Texas. I've got some folks researching this and will post name/address/phone when available. ***
 
I just spoke with Ian. His clear, lucid and onery as hell! This is a good sign. He's in much discomfort, though, and is pushing for release immediately. They're not going to let him out so easy and I tried to convince him to stay put which, I believe, he's grudgingly resigned to.

His main source of irritation is the lack of glasses. He can't get contacts in and his old Doctor is refusing to part with the script to his brother. I told him to try to get me the script data and we'll find him glasses one way or another.

He's definitely liking the books on tape, so go for it. The one author he mentioned to me is W.E.B. Griffin? However other suggestions have been made in one of the emails that I posted from Anita.

As TFL cards will probably start arriving tomorrow, he should get a real lift. Please keep 'em coming.

any glasses shop should be able to take an old pair and devine the perscription

card on de way from Maryland

Damn, here in Michigan eye doctors, at least mine, give their patients their perscriptions for their glasses. I don't want to wish tLawDog's eye doctor any harm, BUT........

LawMom, Give my regards to Ian, the first of my cards is on the way.

I sent LawDog a note. Couldn't find any non-Hallmark.

Let's see if the postal service can get it from CA to TX in less than a week. :rolleyes:

Thank you TFL staff, and especially LawMom, for keeping us posted.

Sent brief letter...will most likely get a card later in the week if I can find anything non-Hallmark.

What a shame...least it sounds like he's in good spirits. I can't even imagine...
 
I believe in TEXAS an eye doc must provide the patient with a written prescription, upon request. Maybe the doc just doesn't understand Ian's condition. Surely, the local doc could phone the eye doc and explain the need. Maybe a call to the agency in Austin which regulates eye docs is in order.
 
I didn't find any non-Hallmark cards either. (Closest stores are Hallmark and Wal-Mart) So I just bought the cheapest one I could find. (89 cents) I assume Hallmark is in someway anti-gun by all the negative posts. Can someone give me a liitle more information on this matter, however?
 
do a search under hallmark and see what pops up....they contributed a nice sum of money to the anti's to help defeat ccw in mo....fubsy.
 
The latest update from Law Dog's Mom:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Hi Rich-
Ian just called me. I'll be going back over to the hospital in a couple of hours. He's pretty depressed today, which is about normal. I told him I'd been to see the pickup up close and personal, and I was going to have Chris take a picture, blow it up to an 8 x 10, and everytime he got to feeling low, he could look at that picture and see just how low he COULD be.

I got his prescription faxed to me today and Chris went and got his glasses. He says they're not perfect, but he can see. He's worried that the Forum people will spend money they don't have on the audio tapes, and he says to tell them that he can see well enough for t.v. now. Chris' work schedule is such that I probably won't be back to e-mail you before Friday. However, should anything serious happen, I'll ask Chris to let you know. Ian's sister is going to try to fly in from Colorado Springs before the next storm down here, so that may take some of the load off Chris and me.

I don't mind if you post my e-mail. You may want to edit it and condense it down a bit. Meanwhile, if anyone can point me, and later, Ian, toward a job we can do by computer, I'd appreciate it. Ian probably can't go back into the physical end of security work inside a year, if then. He just can't take the risk of getting hit in the head. Hi Rich-

In addition to Ian, we have my 92-year old somewhat senile mother to take care of, so we're running all the time between here and Wichita. I don't mind if you post my e-mail. You may want to edit it and condense it down a bit. Meanwhile, if anyone can point me, and later, Ian, toward a job we can do by computer, I'd appreciate it. Ian probably can't go back into the physical end
of security work inside a year, if then. He just can't take the risk of getting hit in the head. But I can sure work a keyboard.

Thank you so much for your attention to Ian and your concern.

Amigo,

Get well soon. Hospitals are no fun, no matter how cute the nurses are.

Seriously, there have been a lot of prayers of thanks that you weren't hurt worse than you are.

There's a card headed your way. Sorry, our local Wally World didn't have anything besides #*^)@(%% Hallmark!

Keep your spirits up.

LawDog,

Just heard about this today. I am sorry to hear of your accident. As Paul said of his friend Epaphroditus to his church:

"For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that you had heard that he had been sick. For indeed he was sick nigh unto death; but God had mercy on him...that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death...." Philipians 2:26-30

Looking forward to you getting back to normal again. You are in my prayers, my friend.
