Lee Green?

Please forgive me for asking, but who is Lee Green, and what happened to him?

Also, I heard from Jen on Sunday, and she said Lee was pretty much the same, except she said he *might* be starting the seizure process. She sees twitches on his face and isn't sure if he's having one or not... Nothing else has really changed in his demeanor.

I heard PeachLilli's cries on the wind...

Just a little note to say thanks to you both for continuing with the updates.

No problem. Also, as of yesterday, Jen hasn't seen any signs of increase in seizures, and Lee seems to be sleeping more lately.

Hi, My name is Kent, I am a friend of Lee and Jen's.

I was over at Lee's the other day (went to pick up Jen for a break) and bumped into PeachLilli there.

We talked a little about Friends (which of course is a program I go out of my way to see)

Larissa got to stand over on Lees right side (where we think he has better visiblity) I wonder if Lee was thinking he had a new pretty Nurse?

It has been a very tough time for Jen, and I am sure Lee appriciates all of your support. I am also sure he would like us all to enjoy whatever humor we can find in the situation.

Larissa, I know you want to go heavliy into stand up comedy, but Lee is a tough audience, but keep trying you will get it.

Oh God, I knew I shouldn't have told you who I was. ;)

More like we talked about how you want to date the women on the show, all of whom happen to be taken!

I'm just happy you're not trying to suck up, being in the Friends newsgroup and all. :)

Who knows what he was thinking. He *has* seen a bunch of pictures of me before, so I really don't know.

all

Definitely. At least he was being good and didn't flash me yesterday.

Thanks *so* much for the support of my obvious life's goal. And by the way, I can't believe you actually thought there was an entire newsgroup dedicated to bouncy balls... It may take me a while to get over that. Oh, I just thought of it and laughed. Yeah, it's gonna take a while.

Anyway, if anyone wants more details (because we're always asking for updates), Lee seemed to be looking right at me, especially when I first came in, but I'm not sure if he can actually recognize what he sees, whether or not it registers in his mind. He was reaching out and if I took his hand he'd squeeze my hand, then let go and keep reaching out for something... He's either hallucinating (Jen's theory), or has a hand-eye coordination problem (Kent's theory). He was trying to talk a few times, but we couldn't really make out what he was saying. Just a few words, like "file," "list," "something," and not in that order, but we couldn't catch enough words in between to tell what he was trying to say.

And Jen, if you're reading this, my mom actually did say yes when I asked about a tattoo! As long as it's in a inconspicuous place. She just laughed when I told her about Ann. Isn't that strange? Slinky dresses in church=bad, inconspicuous tattoos=good. See, weird priorities!

Larissa, thanks again for this update. This may seem weird but as I read the above I was reminded of my visit a few years ago to a hospice to look in on a friend of mine. Now she was in her 70's or 80's and had a different condition, but she was there because her family had decided not to try any more extraordinary surgical attempts to fix her, and so we all knew it was only a matter of time, sort of like with Lee.

Anyway, my visit was in the evening, and she was probably tired. I told her about something exciting I had been involved with recently. I'm sure I talked about a few other things too. When she would respond to me, I sometimes was confused by the words that came out of her mouth, but the one phrase I always caught (and it kept coming up) was, "It is good that you added something on." I think she also mumbled something about "things to be done". Of course, if you looked at her room, you were tempted to ask, "and what might that be?"

I can't explain it, but I was overcome with the tremendous feeling that *I* was the dummy there, or sort of like I was trying to communicate with someone who really needed to get to some destination but out of kindness was trying her best to delay her journey so she could explain things to someone she had to leave behind. It was as if she already had a new lingo, a new agenda, and was beginning to prepare her journey, even though all I saw was an elderly woman just lying there. Her constant phrase "It is good that you added something on" struck me as someone who was tieing up loose ends and saying goodbye to good friends.

I know Lee is not in exactly the same boat, and his passing is more painful, but in the case of my friend, rather than feeling confused and weird (well I did at first, but not later), I felt happy because I knew she was going to a good place, in fact it seemed like they were waiting for her.

I guess I just hope the same for Lee, that's all.

I wish I knew Lee he seems like a great person. I really hope he gets better I'm not sure what has happened to him. I'll pray for everything to work out for him. ~Act
