"Glassmanoak" Update . . .
Okay - "Tree-Peeps" and Friends of "The vape Tree" . . .
I was able to speak with "GMO" personally tonight and he has given "Me" his verbal permission over the phone to bring everyone up to date with what has been happening and will be happening in the near future . . .
First of all, "GMO" wants me to tell everyone that "He" feels like each and everyone one of "US" as a Friend and are a Member of His Extended Family . . . AND - In addition wants everyone to know how appreciative he is of the "GOOD VIBES", "Thoughts", and "Prayers" everyone is sending his way (I told him about all of the post in both threads, which he will see later as soon as he can) . . . "GMO" mentioned that "He" cannot wait until he is able to come back to let everyone know personally how much your caring words have meant to him too . . .
Now - To Tell Everyone What Happened . . . I think everyone who has been reading the contest thread here and his post recently know already that "GMO" was experiencing very sever and painful leg cramps last Thursday afternoon (02/28) . . . Well - He tried all weekend to relieve the pain (as he has before) to no avail . . . So - He finally had to go to the Emergency Room this past weekend and it turned out it was more then just a leg cramp/s, but was a blood clot that had formed in his leg . . . As a result it had stop the flow of Blood to his left leg and foot . . . It was so bad the Doctors had to operate . . .So - Monday (03/04) "GMO" had to have his left leg amputated just below the knee . . . AND - Today (03/05) they had to take him back into the operating room to remove more of his leg to just above the knee (which was discussed as a possibilty before his first operation and BTW: as far as I know is not uncommon - Matter of fact, the exact same thing happen when "My" Mother's {Who was also Diabetic} had her Leg ambutated for the same reason) . . .
THANKFULLY - As "GMO" mentioned to "Me" - "GMO's" Partner of 24 Years, His Family and Friends have been very attentive and supportive . . . They are all providing as much help as they can and making sure he is taken care of . . . He even has a Niece that is a Nurse who is keeping "GMO" informed and assisting him with his medical care . . . So that will be a HUGE HELP to Him, especially given that he will have to go to rehab and have some additional care and needs that will have to be met before he is going to be able to get up and around like he was doing before this happened . . .
WHICH HE IS DETERMINED TO DO - NO MATTER WHAT . . .
So On That Note: Let "Me" say both personally & professionally - IMO - For what "GMO" is going though right now - [B}"GMO" Is In VERY GOOD SPIRITS[/B] (especially given the "Medications he is taking
) and doing as best as can be expected given what he is and will be dealing with . . . From "our" short converstaion tonight I could tell that "He" has his wits about him and is looking towards the furture in a very positive manner, especially the future birth of his Grandchild that is due soon to his Son ("Acorn") and Daughter-in-Law . . . He is very focused on and knows fairly well what he will be having to do . . . As it stands right now - "GMO" has no intention at all to let this get to him - nor interfer with "The Vape Tree" or more importantly, HIS LIVING A VERY FULL LIFE ! ! !
Alright - Now to the rest of the news I have for everyone . . . "GMO" does have Internet Access, but it is limited given his condition and he is not up to par just yet to do any posting or emails - However he will be surfing ECF as best he can and when he can . . . Also - "GMO" would like "Us" all to continue the contest and continuing posting too . . .
AS - For any orders that have been placed via "The Vape Tree" website - he does have more then enough "Premium E-juice" in Stock and all orders will still be filled with what is there and sent out asap . . . However, if any one else wants or needs any of "The Vape Tree Premium E-juice" that is available - "GMO" would appreciate it if "You" would contact him vis his Email ( glassmanoak@gmail.com ) to place any order/s you may have and he will fulfill them as best he can until he is back to work at "The Vape Tree" making more and formulating even New "Premium E-juice" soon . . .
Last - But surly not the least, since some people have asked if it was alright - I did ask "GMO" first to get his permission - If anyone wishes or wants to send "GMO" GET WELL CARDS - he will definitely get them, if you just send them to:
