KeaneyBlue - The URI Basketball Forum

First of all, I want to thank those who had so many kind words to write.
Old friends, new friends, some I've never met.
How much did it mean?
Well, my daughter used to call me first thing every morning and
read the comments to me to boost my spirits, and it did.
I want to thank Chris Disano who came to the hospital solely to deliver
the St. Joe's box score.
Steve and Don for their shoutout on a broadcast.
RoadyJay for his sign last night at the Lasalle game.
Thorr for his gracious phone call to my home, this evening.
It all brings home that we are Ram Nation, and real life comes before our
disagreements or viewpoints.
So, now, walking 10 feet is a challenge, just getting in and out of a chair
is painful, and I face a long difficult recovery.
Being told I can bleed out at any time and die before I got to a hospital isn't what anyone
'wants to hear.
Only a true Rhody fan would understand my reaction to the odds of my stint slipping, are
5% over the lifespan of the patient, while mine slipped in a few days.
Kind of the Stanford game of surgery.
I'm home to my wonderful daughter, grandkids, Arthur and the pack.
No more being awaken at 4:30 AM to give blood.
No more being awaken by a doctor, to ask how I feel.
No more gross swill passed off as hospital food.
At least I hope not any time in my future.
I love you, Keaney Blue!

Yes best news I heard in awhile get well soon Rod , Rhody Nation has your back

Nice to have you back Rod! Keep fighting through the recovery, you'll get there soon enough.

Good to have you back. We ALL were very concerned. Take it easy. Just sit back and listen to some Barry Manilow music. That'll keep the old BP down.

So you're already beating the odds? Good luck on your road to recovery!

Couple of crazy weeks! I couldn't be happier that the doc's ended up getting it right!! Take it slow my Keaney Kin.

Great to hear from you Rod. Be well......

Welcome back Rod!

I thought about you many times the other night, looking over at your section. You unfortunately didn't miss much Thursday.

I don't mean to be trite, but given your comeback from the Stanford game of surgery, is it ok to draw the connection that our Rams can come back and turn their ship around? Hopefully they will at least show up tomorrow.

Either way, it truly is just a game. While frustrating might be an understatement, we shouldn't ever place more importance on it than it deserves. The health of family and friends is bigger than basketball or politics or anything else.

I'm so thankful that you are home! Take care of yourself, and get well soon. We will save your seat.

......good to hear you are on the mend......follow recovery orders......best

Welcome back!

Glad to see you're doing better.

Welcome back to your home at home and to your home at KB.

Wiping off my wet face with shirtsleeve....

Thanks Rod

Keaneyblue is a happy place again!

Welcome back. May your recovery be swift.

Like any true Rhody fan, it'll take more than a hospital stay to keep you down! There's more to life than hoops, to be sure, but Rhody hoops is the bond that makes this a family. Be well, Rod!

Good to hear from you Rod; get well!

Really great to see "rodfromcranston" pop up on the board this morning. Glad you're home, Rod. Keep up the fight.

Glad to see you back. That's much more important than basketball.

Glad you are on the road to recovery Rod!

Welcome back Rod! Glad you're doing better.

The ONLY reason I wanted to check the site today.

Such great news. Welcome back, Rod!

Glad you're back, Rod. Take care.

YES!! Welcome back, Rod.

I grant you a 60 day free pass to make fun of kenpom and stats! Great to hear you're on the mend.

Yes!!!

Glad you're OK Rod. Rest up and get well. Your post made my day.

So glad you are home with your pack! Being at home is the best kind of medicine. Nice to see your words on the board again. Personally, I think tomorrow's game will be a Rhody win. Need the veterans to lead and play like vets. Go Rams!

Hey Rod, we missed you buddy. I am very happy to hear that you are home. Please don't
look for a replay of the LASALLE game to watch because it might upset you too much. i don't
think any Rhody fans should see that again. Yeah, at least you can be more comfortable and
undisturbed by hospital routines now that you are home. wishing you a full recovery ASAP.

YESSSS!
Love ya Rod, glad you're home been worried bout cha. Keep fightin!

Welcome home Rod! So glad to hear you are on the road to recovery.

Hell Yeah Rod. Welcome back. You have been missed and in our thoughts and prayers!

Good to hear from you Rod!! God bless

Very glad to see a post from you and see that you are home with your wonderful family. I think one thing you can tell about you just from reading this board is that you are a fighter. So keep up the fight regardless of how difficult it may be. And all the wishes and prayers for a full and speedy recovery.

Welcome back Rod..

We missed you and glad to have you back in the mix

Hope you can get back to the Ryan Center soon

Speedy recovery, rod, and hope that you can attend some of the more important upcoming games at Ryan,. Circle Feb. 10 as one of them!

Great news!!

So happy to hear you're back at home with your family, Rod!

Get well soon.

Good to hear you are back Rod!

Great news! If Thursday night didn't kill you, you're going to be fine.

Happy to have you back. Wouldn't have been the same without you.

Much love, healthy wishes, and happiness to you, Rod!
