Afraid for my Philly

I do not read all of the posts, but this one caught my eye. I wish them both well.
 

Nothing but good thoughts and prayers going out to Shalimar & Philly.
 

Thank you all so much for the love and support you offer Lee. If you wish to contact Phil, his computer is up and running, I believe his addy is visible on his page. The veteran contingent arrived yesterday, all dress uniforms and medals galore. They came to "stand" for Shali. Lots of tears. As long as she is in ICU, a vet will be on hand, should she survive and make it into

a private room--which they are paying for, a vet will stand for her in that room 24/7. Such is the love they have for the indomitable woman they call Triple T (Tiny Teflon Tank,) whom they believe saved their lives. They honour their own. The

Marine ( dual citizenship,) has enlisted the shamans of the Oglala Sioux to pray for Shali, the word has also gone out over the service grapevine that she needs help. I hope she finds a reason to fight. She is a bright light. All our hearts are breaking.
Duncan. PS you should see the amazing poetry she writes. D
 
Duncan, what a loving gesture on the part of the veteran contingent. It will surely make a big impact on Shali. She loves and respects them so much. The shaman prayers are bestowed on only very special people. I have been an honoured recipient of Shali's poetry, having more than one written especially for me.

Phil will be struggling with all this, plus his own medical difficulties. I wish him well, and hope with all my heart for a good outcome for both he and Shali.

Duncan she may just pull out of this. I'm hoping. Power and strength to you Shali. Duncan don't forget to take care of yourself also. (((hugs))))

Hi folks. Duncan here. I regret to inform you that Shalimar is currently on life support in ICU following a drug overdose. Please keep her and Philly--who won't receive this news until later this morning when the social worker arrives at his facility, in

your thoughts and prayers. This was totally unexpected. I have known her for twenty years, easily the strongest, most compassionate person I have ever met. I doubt any of you know that she is considered one of the best therapists in B.C.

counseling those that other therapists consider hopeless. Still, she carries demons that would destroy most of us out of hand, and the stress of the last two months has been horrific. Along with her own severe ulcer issues, she still does not have any

definitive answers regarding Philly's condition, and the reason behind his low hemoglobin, (requiring frequent blood transfusions.) he is slated for further tests next week. I expect an influx of vets willing to "stand" for Shalimar to arrive at the hospital by early morning pacific time. I am beyond terrified.

Duncan, I am SO sorry that I missed this post the last couple of days. I am so very sorry to hear this. Please tell her she is in my heart and I am praying for her. I miss her, as we all do here. What a tragic and terrible thing to happen to such a fine and compassionate lady.
 
I had exchanged a pm with Duncan over a week ago, the conversation was cordial, but I asked Duncan to pass a message on to Shali's son, I've not heard anything as yet, indicating if the son got the info, I'm still hoping to hear back.

Thank you Radish Rose. At this point I don't intend to call around to all the places listed at the link. But it's nice to know in case I change my mind. I do believe Duncan will let us know.

I wonder is Phil is in touch with Duncan or anyone else for that matter. Last I heard he had his computer.
 
Duncan here folks, thanks again for your concern. Phil is doing much better, anticipating returning home soon, barring anything unexpected. Further tests will be required to solve the mystery of his hemoglobin. Lee is still in hospital, hopefully not

for much longer. I am sad to announce that a member and sf friend leaked her private health info onto another sight, without her permission or Phil's, and when another sf member/friend contacted all hospitals nearby mining for PI re Shali, and was unsuccessful

(HIPAA), the consensus was that the suicide attempt was bogus. Can you imagine the distress this trolling has caused? Phil and Shali are very upset. I am livid.

Bummer that someone leaked info. I would never do that, nor did I call around. I hope they know that it was not me. This is the only site I'm on with them. I don't have a cell phone with free long distance. And on my home phone I only have local long distance. It would have cost a lot.

People who care want to know how someone is. So whoever did this, please don't be do hard on them.

No worries Phoenix, we know you are not responsible for this. The digging for info was not done only out of concern or there would have been no need to troll afterwards when info was not forthcoming. The suicide attempt was very real, and to suggest otherwise is unconscionable. Duncan.
 
WOW! Someone leaked her personal health info on another site? How bizarre, but, at the same time as Pheonix mentioned, you can't blame folks for wanting to try to find out what's going on with Shali and Phil, since all of what's been relayed has been kind of mysterious and she has many people who are desperately concerned to make sure they are ok out of concern.
 
Very glad to hear that they are both recovering and will be home soon. I agree its been very vague and mysterious, yet I wonder how in the world anyone would have access to her personal medical information, as here it is strictly confidential and hospitals will not tell anyone anything unless its a close relative.

Duncan here,
By private medical information I meant the fact she had attempted suicide. No one had permission to take that information to another site. As for being vague, Lee and Philly are both exceptionally private people. I did well to get permission to divulge as much as I have.
 
How ironic that on one thread there is support of technology & it's uses, warnings about hacking & the dangers of having no control over your devices & on this thread you have witnessed an example of what can happen with the use of technology. It may have been an innocent attempt to garner information but whomever did it compromised someone's privacy. Whenever, whatever you use technology for you have to be aware of the possibilities that it can be used for the wrong reasons.
 
Ahaa, thank you Duncan for keeping us informed, and although, at first we didn't have a clue as to what had happened, you did do extremely well to keep us informed and it is very kind of you to do so. I'm sure we have all been extremely concerned and now very very relieved to hear that they are mending. Thank you.
 
I must have missed the post where it was mentioned that she attempted suicide. I am so,so sorry to see this. What awful pain must have driven her to do that. I truly hope that both Phil and Shalimar recover and can begin the rest of their lives together.
 
Thank you Duncan for keeping us informed about our forum friends.
I was steeling myself for worse news and I am now encouraged for both Shali and Phil.
When you can, please pass on my love for both of them.
