I saw he was in the hospital but this is the first details I have seen of his condition. Glad he's doing better, thoughts and prayers headed his way. Get well soon Joe.

Thanks for your support! 🍺😎👍
Well I called Joe's cell phone (as did Tedc) and it went straight through to his voicemail. I then called the hospital directly and asked for Joe's room. I was told he was in ICU. Ted and Kathryn called shortly thereafter and got as far as the ICU nursing station at which time they were told to leave a message.
Short story, Joe must've went from a regular room (where I talked to him on his cell last night) to Intensive Care... Let's please elevate the prayer level a notch.
Another thread already started for those who want to catch up: Prayers to Joe Texan......
Sorry, Bill, I didn't see that thread.

I just sent it via PM
No... No real info at this point, other than he said it was a stroke. I talked to him on his cell phone last night from his hotel, errrrrrrrr hospital room. Tonight I called his cell phone (as well as Ted/Kathryn) and it went straight to his cell phone's voice mail . I called the hospital.... (and so later Kathryn/ Ted did too). They got basically the same answer.. Joe was in ICU.
Check your PM.
Thoughts and prayers are with you, Joe. May you get the best of a bad situation.
Indeed, and thanks for the update.I know we all will want to join in wishing Joe a quick and complete recovery from this very scary occurence.
Can we know the Hospital? I'd love to send something to him ... PM me if you don't want it all over the boards

I only know his last name is TEXAN! Anyone else know the real last name?
And REP for letting us know
Just came back from checking on Joe in the ICU. He has the expected severe headaches from the blood clot irritating and pressing on the brain. As long as there is no further bleed, these should taper off over the next month. Meanwhile, pretty heavy medication is needed to keep him half way comfortable, so he feels pretty sleepy most of the time. But that’s OK. Blood pressure is a little brittle, so meds to control it are being monitored closely. All in all, he is in good spirits. Under the circumstances, I’ve explained to him that he is a very lucky man.........with the type of stroke he sustained, approximately ½ don’t make it to the hospital alive. With all of your prayers, he will be in the ¼ of the group that not only makes it to the hospital alive, but also makes it out of the hospital without permanent lingering disability.
He wanted me to again relate to the MB, that he is moved by all of the well-wishers, including some which have not always seen eye to eye with him.
Gotta let you know, he’s making great progress.......no pooping the bed.........he’s traveling on his own to the PortaPot just fine..............Oops, Joe, I hope I didn’t give out too much information.
Wow ... thanks for the info .
All tailgating will consist of grilled Salmon and zuchini from now on .
