Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 29, 2017 WTF? You always get all warm in the crotch over tepid news about a person in DP?Big Fn deal, if he's only JUST NOW going on oxygen then he ain't going anywhere in 2017; and I say that with him on two of my teams. February? Sure.... 2019. I can list half a dozen ALS sufferers who have lived with a trache tube breathing for them for years. OJ Brigance and Steve Gleason off the top of my tiny brain. February. Pfffft. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,162 Posted January 29, 2017 WTF? You always get all warm in the crotch over tepid news about a person in DP? Big Fn deal, if he's only JUST NOW going on oxygen then he ain't going anywhere in 2017; and I say that with him on two of my teams. February? Sure.... 2019. I can list half a dozen ALS sufferers who have lived with a trache tube breathing for them for years. OJ Brigance and Steve Gleason off the top of my tiny brain. February. Pfffft. SC There are varied and differing accounts. According to the Daily Mail link above, his brother said that Joost had been "reliant on oxygen for some time but his condition had worsened and that they had kept the news quiet for the sake of his children" While I realise that he doesn't want his kids moping and crying all the time, I do hope that those kids haven't been led to believe that their father is going to get better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GossipGabe 333 Posted February 4, 2017 I'm vaguely confident he might not see 2018. Probably. Nah this is it. This time I know it's the real thing? We're talking about an incurable, degenerative condition. While certain comorbidities that could make things worse (say pneumonia or flu) might be cured, the main, underlying condition will not get better. He was given 2 to 5 years to live in 2011. So it was stoppage time for him anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
