Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted December 30, 2022 There was a tweet recently (maybe even from Tenay himself?) saying that someone had set up a Christmastime FaceTime chat between Tenay and West. I took that as an indicator that, being as we've not heard a whisper from West since around March, that it was a goodbye chat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought he died years ago. Anyway here's the post according to the article: Quote Lots of issues… MRI showed he has a very bad infection in his ears that has spread to the bones in his ears as well as an area of his skull…infectious disease doctor was just in trying to decide what antibiotics they’re going to start him on. His electrolytes are still off…his low sodium is especially difficult to treat and they don’t know why at this point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
