View Full Version : The Joe A thread
I went to see Joe A yesterday in hostpital. I thought I would make a small post about it. I will be leaving some details out. Because some shouldnt be posted here and some becuase thats what Joe wanted.
If you are a friend of Joe's feel free to PM me or ICQ me if there is anything you want to know and if I can I'll furnish you with details.
First thing is Joe doesnt want any visitors. Not family not friends not anyone. Not me again. No one. But I will be going again to see him in a week or so. If anyone wants to see Joe. Just be prepared that he doesnt want you there. For me thats easy, as no one wants me anywhere I go.
For those trying to phone Joe and are leaving messages. Dont bother, Joe wont be taking calls in the immediate future. He is far to weak to pick up a phone and can hardly speak.
Last time we all went out, I remember saying to Joe that he has lost weight and he said that he had, he wasnt big to start with. Well take into account how thin he was and that he had lost weight and add to that that he has lost a further 3 stone since he has been in hostpital. My guess is he weighs maybe 6 stone.
He wont eat anything or drink anything, thats where his main problems are. Its like he has given up. The same thing happened to my mum when she was very ill, but people kept pushing her and she had family there 24/7 making her eat. Joe doesnt have that and all though the nurses are trying to get him to drink water and eat. It is the National Health and we all know they dont offer that sort of one to one care. Adding to that, he wont have a drip, when they tried to add one, he pulled it out himself.
He can speak a little, so can communicate a little bit, but just wants to sleep 24/7 I mentioned we was thinking of having a whip round and did he want anything, he said a million pounds. I said if we didnt manage a million pounds is there anything else. He said if we cant raise a million pounds then dont bother. So there is still a little bit of a fight in the old bugger
Damn ... that's not good news :( I hope he pulls through.
Our thoughts are with Joe.

Still the same stubborn old bastard then.
Seriously though, i hope he comes to his senses and makes a full recovery.
Having spoken to him several times on the phone, he could talk the hind legs off a donkey so it just doesn't seem right him not wanting to get back to health.
*If* he reads this or anyone else sees him, tell him i miss our phone chats with him dropping the phone every 5 mins or telling me to 'shit, stay there my dinner is burning' and then hearing cursing, bangs and crashes :)

:( That's really bad news, my thoughts are with him
One thing on the bright side. Joes docter is about the horniest asian bird of seen in a long time. So maybe he will have some new content when he comes out
I hope he sorts it out, it's a shame he doesn't have any family to give him a kick up the arse.
I spoke to him two weeks ago and he sounded down but was able to speak, now he can barely speak so he is going down hill quick.
Tell him we have mananged to get a million together but he'll have to start eating and get better to collect it.

As I have said JoeA and me may not be best mates, but i hope he gets well.
My grandad died of throat cancer.
I just hope that others may give up smoking.

Hi Johny.
I've just found out the full story from a thread on another forum.
I still can't believe it.
I'm gutted.

That is well shit.
I chatted to Joe for a few days while i sorted out a script for him. He seemed like a well sound bloke.
All the best to him and his family!

Very sad. My thoughts are with him and I certainly hope things somehow take a turn for the best.

Seriously, why do I deserve to be trolled by you on this one? I was going off the first post and hoping perhaps that he would allow a drip, etc.

So allowing a drip would help how?
What do you mean by "trolled"?, do you mean questioning your shite?

Geezer, other people in this thread have wished him well and said they hope things turn around, he pulls through, etc. I say something similar and you decided to go on the attack. It is making it impossible to enjoy this board, which is most likely your intention.

I just joined this forum so that I could post my regards to Joe A. I found out this information this evening and was shocked by it all.
I never knew the guy but he helped me in so many ways, sticking his neck out for me publicly when no-one else would dare. I owe him a debt of thanks and have never had the opportunity to repay him.
Joe, you are a star, who has won more favour in this business than anyone. And you never expected anything in return.
You are one of a kind.
Most sincere wishes to you and your family from both myself and Lisa.

"Here's hoping he can pull through."
Sounds like the same sort of thing I said. Seriously, I am tired of this. You win. Enjoy the board.
I honestly do wish the best for Joe, who was very nice to me on the times we have met.

Reading the other thread on another board, it does not look good.
I think the question is why was the cancer not spoted sooner.
If anyone visits JoeA, please can you tell him, I wish him piece.

Joe was great in person. He could talk hinde legs of donkeys at 100 paces though.
I hope he pulls through somehow.

Hi Rob and love your "news" page. :)
Never met or spoken to Joe A but I wish him all the best and like the others in this thread hope that somehow he pulls through

No, I never knew Joe either. Many people nowardays ( me included ) have had their lives touched by cancer in one way or another, and it seems to be getting more common every year.
It is, however, a fact that a small number of people with terminal cancer do recover. So one should never assume all hope is lost.
Sad news about Joe A.. I've never met him, but chatted on icq a few time with him.....
I would hope hes drawn some comfort (although he'd never admit it) from the good wishes that JT passed on when he visited him on friday....
Also, I find it quite heartening that we (as an online community) have showed that we do care about fellow members....

Yeah sad day, I'm sure we would all chip in for whatever is thought appropriate.

Yes I agree.
Im not sure if we should have a whip round or not. He has no dependents and doesnt want or need anything. I think if he did manage to fight it, then we have a whip round. He told me on Friday he wants to just lay in the sun somewhere
I talked to joe on icq a few times, hes very likeable and easy to talk to. Such a shame, he doesn't want people around him

Never knew him personally just seen him around on the boards but he always seemed like a nice guy. Poor joe i hope they can make him as comfortable as possible.

Lay in the Sun?, I was thinking more like a packet of Bovril crisps.
