    Update from R2K's wife's facebook 30 minutes ago:

    Hospital update: Larry slept better last night and is eating a bit more each day.

    Sounds like good news :).

    I sent something your way as well via the PayPal link. Can you write a quick update? All I can gather from several posts is that he had emergency heart surgery and things are looking up. Is this correct? What kind of surgery did he have?

    Thanks for setting this up, Moes. And get well, R2K!

    I still haven't talked to R2k's wife yet to find out all the details, but basically he was rushed to the hospital tuesday night and underwent heart surgery the next day. He has been recovering since then, and last update was he's doing better now.

    I wanted to rep you for being a good friend to R2K and a good member here for doing this for him, but: "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to moestavern19 again."

    So y'all get Moes some more rep. He deserves it for this.

    Don't rep me because of this, I'm just passing along money. Nothing special, collect it all and then pass it on to a guy who deserves it.

    I'd really like to thank Clutch for helping with this, when he heard about R2K's condition he was very concerned and wanted to do anything to help, he had a certain dollar amount in mind that I thought was maybe going to be hard to reach but I underestimated Clutchfans, the response has been touching to me personally and I know Clutch feels the same way. Clutch is a great guy, one of the nicest guys I've ever met and a truly humble person.

    I'm happy to report that we have now raised over $1500 in paypal donations alone, this is not including maybe 8-10 people who have opted to mail checks or money orders.

    This is truly one of the greatest moments in our history here at clutchfans, it is very inspiring to know that when one of ours has a problem there are many good people here who are ready to step into action to help out a friend.

    So don't thank me, give yourselves a pat on the back Clutchfans. You've been truly amazing.

    I agree 100%, but I'd still say you're deserving. Rep is silly, in a word, but it offers us the chance to acknowledge your character both as a friend to R2K and as a member here.

    Organizing efforts to help our fellow man and fellow ClutchFan is no simple feat, so I offer well wishes and help where I can to R2K and his family, and my thanks to you and Clutch for making sure the rest of us are informed and able to help out.

    So, thanks, Moes.

    :cool:

    Thanks Moes and Clutch for setting all of this up. I always have a good bit of faith in the collective good will of Clutch Fans. It's heart-warming to see everybody stepping up.

    I also wanted to encourage people who are concerned for R2K to get out and donate blood. I'm a slacker compared to my parents who have the bajillion gallons donated mugs, but I do try to get out when I can to donate. It's such an easy thing to do, but it's also as easy to push to the periphery and forget. I'm sure R2K needed quite a bit of blood during this surgery, and let's all try to remember that there are many, many other people out there that have the same needs. They all have friends, families, and co-workers. Although maybe not a legion of ClutchFans behind them.

    And if you want to contribute to a cause that is dear to R2K, make sure you're not a leach. Seed those torrents, especially when R2K starts putting up Rocket games again, and I'm sure that will happen in the future. You can lay a good man up, but you can't keep him down. Unless you're a leach and stop seeding the second the game downloads.

    It's great news that Larry is doing better. As a Rockets fan overseas, he was my lifeline for years and years. R2K is also one of the coolest people anywhere. I appreciate what Moes, Clutch and everybody have done to help out Larry and his family. That's awesome!

    So sad to hear about this, R2K. I am pulling for you, man. I hope you are doing better and the prognosis is great. I'm sending a donation your way via the fund...as I feel a duty to help out a fellow Rush and Clutch fan. Hopefully, you are back to full strength by the Rush concert and can still go. But, for now, just know you've got a compassion cloud of good vibers and well-wishers hovering over the hospital while pulling for you and your full recovery.

    Praying and hoping for the very best outcome for you and your family,

    Surfguy

    Edit: Done. Your Rush ticket is on me, man. Or, do whatever. Just get better.

    Just to let everyone know I did my part in praying not only to all the Hindu gods but since its R2K I even prayed to Jobu.


    Great to hear is getting back strong.
