They have been taking blood samples and putting them through every test and they've been coming back fine. No real reason at this point to expect anything other than a really bad illness. Anyway, as of yesterday it sounds like he was finally able to keep food down. He has a long way to go to gain his weight back but he'll probably be playing on Thursdat

IIRC he’s a vegan and has trouble keeping his weight up normally.

He's no longer vegan. Believe he changed that a couple years ago

Do you think a multi billion dollar sports franchise didn't check its star player for diabetes?

Interesting that no question or comment about seeing an oncologist haa been mentioned. If it haa, i have not seen it.


I feel certain that the team would have had this checked also, but it was the first thing I thought, too.

His bs is high consistently i bet. Check for keytones in his urine.

I assumed they checked for this or cancer marker test you would think

I just think this would make a great episode of House. Of course he has to get worse, and they have to misdiagnose him to the brink of death. But he'll make a full recovery while realizing the importance of life and appreciating his family more..
