News of Henry

SOH-CM-2025
I received a phone call from Henry today. He was responding to a couple calls I had made recently inquiring how he was doing.

Henry told me that he had a stroke and has been in the hospital for the last four plus months. Over two-thirds of his body was paralyzed and he has been going through extensive physical therapy to try and recover functions. Currently he is in a wheelchair and has no internet coverage.

He allowed me to post this to you and tell you that he is still alive and kicking....if only with one foot. He does have function on the right side of his body and can now talk again. He is waiting for a ramp to be built so he can get in and out of his house.

Dave, he needs a 100' telephone wire or wireless router and internet card. If you can call him and go by with a wire, it would help. I am in Colorado and offered to stop by next Thursday. If you can get to help him sooner, all the better. If you buy him a wireless router and card, I will repay you.
 
Wow....and here we all thought he was still in Britain. Will say more than a few prayers for him. Thanks for letting us know, jmig.

Holy crap! Tell Henry I said Hi and am thinking of him. He is one lucky ***. Sounds like he'll recover but it will take some time.

Thoughts and prayers have gone out for him.
 
Damn. Been wondering where he's been. Tell him Hi from me and to keep working on getting better. If there's anything we can do to help...just let us know.

:eek:

cant really say anything that hasnt been said without sounding like an echo :frown: get well soon henry!
 
Shortly tonight we will start a donation drive to get him set up.
If someone lives in the shreport la area let me know it will be faster to transfer money and buy it locally.
I would like to send him one of them epads ck and myself have, these would be handy to have if your in his shoes.
A wireles router from wally world is about 50 bucks, it would take 3 weeks to get him setup with an epad so a wireles device for his computer I have already. I can send monday.
 
Tell H we're all pulling for him and to just let us know what he needs.
 
I have a relatively new 4 port Linksys GB wireless router I will donate.

SOH Members will buy him what he needs, I'll setup a donation link. Ickie says he can still get him a Apad (Android Ipad clone), with a touch screen he won't need but one hand and won't need to use a key board.

He needs a wireless router and a internet card for his laptop. However, he doesn't know where the charger for the laptop is hiding. He can't get down and crawl around to look. He told me that if he falls out of his wheelchair or bed, which he has done, he can't get back up without help.

He had an 80 foot telephone wire running from the wall to the computer. But it got tangled in the wheels of his chair and destroyed. Which is why I think he needs a wireless router.

If we can get the stuff delivered to his house, I will be passing through Shreveport next Thursday and will set it up for him.
 
Ok maybe a better ideal, just get him a laptop with a internet card, these usually make you sign a 1 year contract? I will look into this.
This seems like a better ideal.
 
I just spoke to henry, he does have internet somewhat, tomorrow I will send him a wireles device and wireles router he said his laptop is almost fried but it does work.
So that is something we need to think about. maybe a dell.

He is dead broke for about 3 months till his ssi will kick in. All we collect will go to him for the next few months till he is on 2 feet.
 
I Will Keep Henry in My Prayers, I am Very Sorry I have no Money.. All I can do Is Pray..
and I shall..
God Bless you Henry
You will stay in my Prayers..:engel016:
 
Dave L6 do you have a paypal account so i can send you enough to buy a laptop from walmarts?
 
I got a better Ideal,
tomorrow I will go to walmarts and buy a wireles laptop, wireles router, & wireles mouse, then rush it to shreport La. By The USPS. He will have it on monday.

I would like to have someone on the ground at his house monday to set it up for him if this is possible.
