My Gentleman friend got gay bashed when he was a kid

[Roon]

His head got kicked several times and they had to give him a plastic jaw and rebuild his skull some.

Anyway..his jaw has been hurting really bad. He can't talk sometimes,he can't eat! (he's lost 25lbs)They kept going to the ER and the doctor over and over again before they finally ordered a cat scan his face.

He has a damn bone spur! They are going to have surgery in two weeks. It will be a long two weeks and they are going to give him pain meds until the surgery.

I am just happy that he is going to be normal again. Every time I think of this guy laying in the middle of the mosh pit getting downed and kicked by 3-4 people..it makes me cry.

I'll keep you all up to date. :-)

1. I hope the surgery is easy and successful and that he recovers quickly.

Will you be doing the home care after the surgery?

[Roon]

4. naaa, I'll do my usual monday night visits at his home in boulder

but he splits his time up from boulder and littleton. I just home I can text/chat with him at first until he gets strong again.

6. Thanks, Soleiri

He is super special. I get so sad to remember what he went through. :-( I would have sued the band and the venue.

7. Yup that is very disturbing. I have a friend who has just come out and

I really hope he can negotiate his new life without getting targetted. But I'm afraid he has a hard life in front of him.

11. That sucks!

:(

14. I just realized something.

My ex and I once mixed acid and meth and went to a show. My ex started violently bad tripping and hopped into the mosh pit. I looked and looked and couldn't find him. The only comfort I can now say, Is that I will never be that scared again.

Now ten years later,I broke up with my ex and I started seeing my friend. He has PTSD from the incident and you can kind of tell that he is a little brain damaged. But he is so CUTE!!!!

Anyway, it's like the nightmare I was having with my ex, happened with my friend. It's like having the nightmare back and that is why I am so sensitive to it and always almost cry when I think what happened to him.
