70 will be fine, if you combine it with your positive thoughts and prayers. We are just on the edge of having enough money, should BackDoorMan get the refund for his ticket, if he doesn't I can't see this happening sadly... I can take the money unless it's not doable until after 1pm which is when I gotta be at work.

Those are just the one walmart in the town, and a few in the surrounding area...

We had Roseman with a walmart money order on its way to being processed but then we had to cancel as BackDoorMan wasn't able to get his refund for the ticket, and wouldn't have been able to see his friend anyways. Anyways he said that the friend is expected to live, but he probably won't be able to walk. I was kind of looking forward to the road trip but hey we tried, Roseman was gonna put up some money along with me and KindGrower, to combine with BackDoorMan and get him to his friend, but the friend is expected to live.

i'm sorry to report, that I can't get my ticket refunded as it's a non-refundable ticket..
I am happy to report that he's made it through the surgery fine and they're looking t see if there's anymore internal bleeding... they're going t take him in for back surgery in alittle while, but aren't given him much hope to ever walk again.. his grandmother told me that there's really no reason for me to come in, as I wont be able to see him for a few days anyway... she told me the best thing I can do for him is continue to pray for him and just fly in on the 18th
I really appreciate everything everyone has done nd is willing to do for us... as soon as I see him i'm going to show him everything you've all said and was willing to do... you're all wonderful people... I love each and everyone of you.. thank you all sooo much... you've been a blessing.
By the way.. i'm 27

I talked to his mom and his grandma.. he's in surgery from what I understand... he tore the aortic valve in his heart, and was in surgery from midnight until 6 this morning. I'm still really debating it, as his mom told me she would do anything she could to help me get there.. I just feel weird asking her for money under the current circumstances...
I've told her that i'm going to be there for him, and i'm not leaving... i'm going to do anything I can to get him better.. if there's 0.01% chance he'll walk.. then we'll get him there... he's strong and stubborn, and still fairly young (20) and I know he can do it... I just feel so helpless right now...

My girlfriend works in the medical field in the north part of the state so I asked her about it and forrest general is supposed to be a pretty good hospital. That's what she's heard anyway. I can't say I know that much about Hattiesburg. I've only been there once.

Around the 18th? I'll have to see what my work schedule is like... feeling a road trip still... I was all psyched up. Sorry to Roseman, just found that stuff out a bit too late. He had already put into action a plan to get me some money for the trip, and I fucked up, but at least PMd him in time to stop it.RIU down South Christmas party.

i just thought that i would like to say how VERY impressed i was by everyone on this thread, but mostly peter parker and gogrow and roseman and everyone who did all they could to help out backdoorman.. sometimes some of the negativity on this site gets me down a little bit and makes me wonder about peoles humanity, but after catching this thread in the late stages and reading it front to back, i have to say some of my faith in humanity has been restored by some of you people here.. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH... i know i am leaving someone off of my list, and i apologize ahead of time.. no harm meant, just that my memory is shot, lol..
i would also like to say to bdm that even if you don't get to see your buddy as soon as you would like... i don't think it matters all of that much.. just the fact that he in on your mind and in your heart is good enough sometimes.. and the fact that your heart is soo heavy from what is going on speaks more than being there in peron ever could.. i will be thinking about your buddy, and i hope that all will turn out for the best..
