I talked with Blackie on the phone about five minutes ago. I told him that he's not sick enough to be a Democrat and he seemed very pleased with my diagnosis. He's going to be in care for around six weeks, out of his home, so he could be a whole lot happier but at least he knows he's getting the attention he needs where he is. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He's one of the best.
Is this OUR Blackie from Oregon?
Prayers for a quick recovery.
Carolyn

Thank you so much for this thread. I didn't know about this.If you get a chance,please tell him that Martha said hi and I will keep him in my prayers.Thanks
It's strange, but ever since I've joined FR, this place has kind of served as an extended family for me.
I think it's wonderful that there are people who care enough about you to look out for your interests from half a world away.
Hopefully 'Blackie' will recover shortly and be able to join us in future discussions that aren't quite so grim.
Get well soon!
Here is a little prayer in the night; a prayer that in those quiet moments you would know that God is with you. He loves you. We do too...

Hello Everyone,
Blackie is in his new "digs."
He's only about a half a mile from the house
so yesterday I was over there 4 times.
He said he slept the best last night than since he left home.
The care center finally got things straightened out w/his I.V. after his doctor brought one
from the hospital - long story, won't go there.
He loves his plant & balloons from you "Freepers"
& here is the phone number to his bed. .
Blackie Owens
1-541- 242 - 5654 Room is 22 S
The name of the place is:
Valley West Health Care Center
2300 Warren St.
Eugene, OR 97405
Thanks again for all your prayers & best wishes,
we really appreciate all the "good vibes!"
Love, Barb
Get well soon, blackie!
Thanks for the info !.........Stay safe !
