Just wanted to chime in. Still thinking about you daily, which seems odd, but being here for so many years, I feel like I know you all to some capacity. GAF takes care of its own like others have said. It makes me feel very sad that things may not pan out well, but I think we ought not feel that way, because what we ought to be wishing you is peace and serenity. I hope the coming days bring you both
 
Man... I really hope you can beat this...

But if not, hopefully you can finally find peace from all of your suffering.

Take care Scorcho and wishing you and your family & loved ones all the best.
 
I hope that you are comfortable and able to enjoy the time you still have at home Scorcho. I'm glad that you have some strong support.

I'm sure we would all love to hear from you, but I'm sure you probably have much more important things to do, and people to spend your strength on. You have certainly been an amazing source of inspiration thus far. I won't forget it.

I wish there was some way that we could know how he's doing.

Yeah I know, but I think we should be grateful that he ever updated us at all these past two weeks. It sounds like it takes him a very long time to compose even a solitary sentence with the way the meds make him nod off and his general fatigue screws with his concentration. That he's spent whatever little time he has to provide us with updates on his condition really speaks to his character. I'm afraid to say that if David makes the decision to make that one way trip today, we may never know, and can only deduce from his silence that he has indeed checked out :(

I do hope he decides to leave his log in info with someone so they can see just how much he meant to this community

Yeah, I was hoping he'd have his girlfriend let us know what's up. I keep checking this thread hoping he'd post something.

That's what I was hoping as well. I really respect the guy....such a sad thing. His name is David? Well at least I have a real name to put with this.
 
I don't really know what to say in this situation, but I suppose a good luck is acceptable.

I hope you pull through this.

Still, oddly, no tears. Breathing has worsened compared to this time yesterday, but I have slightly more energy. my GF was up all night watching me sleep, so she's ragged this morning. my Mom slept a bit better. I could use a good coffee right now.

i thought last night would be a bit more emotional talkfest, but it's hard to talk when you're oxygen starved. my girlfriend stayed up all night watching me sleep, waking me up whenever i ripped the nose cannula off and was on my own. she's a bit ragged this morning and is getting some rest now.

She gave me a shower last night, which was soothing as I was too weak to take one the last few days. I stared into her eyes quite a bit. I hadn't in a while. They warmed my spirits as much as the water did.

Dont know when I'm leaving the home. I know pretty well that when I get into the ambulance or cab (haven't decided yet) that it'll be the last time I see the place. From there I have no idea how long it'll take at Sloan. It's weird, though. For as much as I cried a torrent last week over this possibility, now that it's occurring I feel completely detached, and I'm not sure why.

Thanks for all the memories, GAF.

Hi, Scorcho.

My thoughts are with you and your family. If you're going to the hospital then hopefully you'll breathe more comfortably with a mask rather than a cannula.

still no more scorcho posts since that one 7am yesterday... i wish we had a way to get updates :(

In one of his previous posts, he mentioned that it took a lot of effort and pain just to write those updates.

I'd like to hear how he's doing, but not if it's difficult for him. :/
 
That's so painful for heart. It's depressing, and now it's even more depressing since we don't have updates or anything. I didn't know Scorcho ( I haven't followed too much OT so far, but maybe things could change in the future), but this thread...Good luck, Scorcho.
 
I keep checking this thread, hoping he's made an update; instead, I learn he is a 9/11 survivor.

Goddamn.
 
Damn, how old is the guy? He looks pretty young in that picture, so I'm guessing he'd be in his early 30's now? What fucking bullshit. Why does it have to be that way? A great guy that seemed to really enjoy life and he just gets cut down in his prime. It's just not fair...

If it's too much of a struggle to type, he should consider giving his account info to his girlfriend or family member, so they can give us updates. Prelude every post with "This is Scorcho's girlfriend/mom/dad etc".

28 I believe. Same age as me, really hits me hard cause of that. Sometimes I'll hop in this thread during work and his posts here always bring me to the verge of tearing up
 
Let's share some stories about Scorcho. What kind of antics did he get up to in Poli-GAF? Video games he liked? What's the story behind his avatar?

What bullshit. I really hope you make it out of this okay Scorcho, but if not, from what I can tell you've lived a really great life and you have a girlfriend that's been with you, thick and thing, and I can't say many people can even say that in their lives.

In the OP he said he was 28 when he was diagnosed a few years back. So he's probably early 30s. Not that it changes the situation much, still much too young.
Wishing you all the best Scorcho.
 
When I saw the thread back on the front page I half-expected it to be an announcement of his passing. Almost teared up at work reading through all these threads a couple weeks ago.
 
I never cried so much for a person I dont even know the real name of.

Scorcho, your story will always be in my thoughts.
 
I wish we could know what happened or what's happening now.
Is anyone here closer to him? We can't just suppose that... he's gone, just because he stopped posting.

That's too sad.
 
We wait. Nothing else to do. I'm glad he was willing to share his story so far. I hope it continues on, but it sounds like he's spending time with the people he needs to spend time with right now.

If i was in his shoes I'm certain NeoGAF would be one of the last things I would be thinking of. I'm actually very surprised that he still posts. Hope he's feeling comfortable right now.
 
Can't even deal. I don't know you much, but after reading the thread it feels personal, and I feel for you hard. Good luck, Scorcho.
 
Same as Stet above.
I've been checking the thread every few hours. I contemplate posting but don't know what to say so I just close the tab. The gravity of the situation renders me speechless.

I wish there was a way to know what was happening, to know if he's able to find peace.

Best wishes, Scorcho.
 
Truly hope he's feeling comfortable and well. I get nervous anytime this thread pops up, but also hopeful that it'll have some kind of positive update.

We're all rooting for you, dude.
 
I just saw this thread for the first time and all I can say to you is that I hope for the best for you and your loved ones.
 
I have been reading this thead from time to time.. been thinking about wishing Scorcho best of luck so many times.. I feel really bad not doing it before now..

Scorcho if you are still reading this thread, I wish you all the best. hang in there..
 
Okay GAF family. I think we need to find our brother and visit him or send flowers or something. Scorcho is one of our own.

I will ALWAYS remember how GAF was there for me when I lost my daughter. We are more than just a bunch of folks on computers.

I need a mod to help us organize this. I will go alone if I can, and but we should be there however we can.

There is so much right with your post, that I couldn't help but agree. It is quite unnerving not knowing what happened to the lad. I want to send a get-well card, I need an address!
