Alpinfox Posted March 19, 2007 Author Posted March 19, 2007 Update: Porter is starting to make some real progress, but will probably be in the hospital for another 2-3 weeks. I'm hopeful that by the weekend he will feel up to having more visitors, but right now its pretty much limited to family and a couple friends for short periods at a time. Thanks for all your well wishes; I think it means a lot to Porter. -P Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Damn, I feel bad for the little tyke. He doesn't have anyone to climb with right now Get better D00D Quote

gapertimmy Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 miss you around here Porter, get well quick. Quote
AlpineK Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 My own recent experience with hospital stays is they suck. Hang in there Porter. Quote
selkirk Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Maybe Porter has a nicer Murse than you AlpineK? Were all pulling for you! Quote
mle Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Oly- Maybe you're able to use some of the time in bed on drugs to make up some wicked poetry?? Get better soon!!! Thinking about you and wishing you a speedy recovery. Quote
knelson Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Porter, From one daddy to another daddy... focus and kick this thing in the ass. If you're not out in a couple weeks, we're gonna have to send in the heavy guns to get you. Yup... Chaps. Prayers to you and your family, Kurt Quote

If you're not out in a couple weeks, we're gonna have to send in the heavy guns to get you. Yup... Chaps. Prayers to you and your family, Kurt And from yet another daddy, Knelson's right. And if Chaps can't muster the guts, we'll send in Crampon next. Quote
RogerJ Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Here's another CC.com'er wishing Oly a speedy recovery. -r Quote
ivan Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 what's wrong w/ oly (beyond the usual, that is)? Quote
knelson Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Did I miss it, or is there a speculation thread somewhere? I think we need a speculation thread. And before y'all jump all over my ass, I'm JUST KIDDING. Quote
underworld Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 I think Oly would appreciate the humor and there begins the speculation. ...i think Quote
Kat_Roslyn Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Ahhh man Porter, I just read this, I am sorry you are sick. Quote
Bug Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 He probably got sick because he wasn't healthy anymore. Is there an electronic device that climbers need to carry that would prevent this? Get well soon Porter!!!!!! Quote
Alpinfox Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 Yesterday Porter was bitching a lot and making threats under his breath that he wanted to strangle the nurses, so things are looking up. With some luck he will be out of the ICU in a couple days and into a regular hospital room. That is ahead of schedule, so I'm encouraged. MLE, I think you are onto something. Hopefully the combination of lots of time and drugs will result in Porter producing some Coleridgian epic spray poem. Quote
catbirdseat Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Hopefully they've given him a suitable "anodyne". Quote
Alpinfox Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 If you wish to send a card, here is the mailing address: Porter Hammer Swedish Hospital, Rm775 747 Broadway Seattle, WA 98122 Do NOT send flowers; they will not be allowed in his area of the hospital (potential allergens). I'll also be printing out this thread and taking it with me to the hospital this afternoon, so you can leave your good well wishes here. Someone asked me for Porter's mailing address, so I'm bumping this. Quote
mattp Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Right on, Mr. Fox. Set up a fake olyclimber is in the hospital thread, using an anonymous avatar to rip off the generous hearted among the cc.com community. How much has Steven Seagal kicked in? (Just in case Mr. Fox is for real: get better Porter!) Quote
bremerton_john Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 I'm sorry to read about your situation Oly. Hope your recovery is a quick one bro. Quote
StevenSeagal Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 How much has Steven Seagal kicked in? I've kicked in a lot.... ...of teeth! Oly...I'm going to find out who did this to you. And when I do, they're going to discover that no one is Above the Law. I'll get Justice for you. Quote
