So I got some bad news today.

[The Chairman]

You're in my prayers, I hope its a false positive.

Me too.

That Batman Begins sequel

 

[StorminNorman]

I will keep you in my prayers Lumberjack, besides that I can't say anything that has not been mentioned previously.

 

[Assassin]

That Batman Begins sequel

by the time that comes out the wings will be in the playoffs 2 more times

 

[chaseter]

There are drugs available that slow AIDS/HIV effects and can dramatically lengthen a life span. That is horrible news and I am truly sorry. You are in my prayers and I hope everything works out.

I have plenty to live for, Oilers have moved onto the next round.

They eat good old Alberta beef, that's why, as opposed to the octupi that your team eats.

I haven't updated this thread as I haven't really felt like talking about the subject very seriously yet (and I'm still not too comfortable with it), but I do have some news. I have been tested twice since I was first tested and they have both come out positive. These tests were done at two completely seperate labs, so there's no doubt that I have HIV. Actually, there isn't any real update as nothing has changed. I have only recieved 100% confirmation on everything I already knew.

 

[Tangled Web]

I'm so sorry Lumberjack.

 

[KALEL114]

Sorry my friend. Live your life to the fullest. Get married and gather your family around you. Do things you never had the courage to do before. Go forward.

 

[The Chairman]

You're in my prayers.

 

[The Lumberjack]

I'm actually not planning on getting married, KALEL. I wouldn't want to marry a woman and not be able to give her children. I'd only end up leaving her widowed and alone. I have already told my g/f that if she feels uncomfortable at all that I won't be mad if she decides to move on. She got really pissed at me for saying it.

 

[DV8]

Seriously, I wish you were joking man . . . that's terrible news, and I hope that you make the best of the time you have left . . . which could still be many, many years . . . tour the world . . . skydiving is what I'd do

man . . . I really don't know what to say

 

[deemar325]

So I went last week to donate plasma in order to get some extra cash. I was denied as it turns out that I've contracted HIV at some point in the last 6 months. Apparently I'm not going to live to see 30 if there isn't some sort of major advance in the treatment of the disease. I don't really have much to say right now. The gravity of the situation has just set in today and I don't really know how to react. I've told my family and my girlfriend, who has thankfully not contracted the disease, and they've taken it much than I have up to this point. I am going to die and I can't do a damn thing about it.

I wish you a long life man.

 

[Excel]

have you figured how or when you ot the virus?

 

[Dr. Weir]

I am going to die and I can't do a damn thing about it.

This probably won't help you right now, but we all die. Even me. Death is something everyone must face sooner or later. All you have to do is treat the ones around you with love, and then when death finally happens, you will have nothing to be afraid about.

For me, im pretty ill right now with a virus I have been with for about seven years and to be honest, the outcome doesn't look pretty. So if its any consolation to you, you're not the only one thinking about passing on...

[NHawk19]

Jack you're still here you're still healthy otherwise. This doesnt mean you can love and be loved it's just an obstacle.

It sucks that it happened and I feel extremely bad for you, but dont let this consume your every thought and action.

 

[Soundwave88]
