mdrejhon 8 #1 September 9, 2005 One of my good friends in New Orleans had a stroke... According to the little information I have now, from his parents in New York state that seem suspicious of me (because they don't know me), he was stuck in New Orleans in a nursing home taking care of the old ones there. (He's a nursing home worker). He had a stroke and his condition is unknown right now. It sounded like it was really bad there, but there was limited information. Reading the news about dead bodies in nursing homes do not help eiither... It sounded like he was not rescued right away, either... but little information I know, and I am unable to ask for any more information. I don't even know if he's still alive. We had many good moments together camping, and a lot of memories. I'm feeling pretty sad right now. I feel so helpless... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdrejhon 8 #5 September 9, 2005 His first name is Edward and, no he is not a skydiver. (Though he enjoyed hearing about my skydiving experiences!) He lived only 10-15 minutes walk away from the historic parts of New Orleans and I was supposed to make my first visit to New Orleans, and he offered to host me. I am pondering what I should do. - Try not to think about it about it because I cannot do anything (this is very hard for me to do...) - Try to hunt for him on all of the many registries. - Just wait and hope for the best. I am not going to call the parents (or get someone to call for me) anytime soon again because I am afraid of intruding them again since they don't know me. They would not even take my own phone number to pass along, they just said he cannot contact me. Maybe I should just write a handwritten letter to his name through his parents address and see what happens... They'd likely hold onto it for as long as it takes for him to recover and then the letter would be read eventually.... I would take him into Canada and take care of him if I knew how to reach him...
