He is eager to get back in his computer chair and back to doing what he loves. It’s still too uncomfortable for him to sit at his desk but hopefully soon he will be back on everyone’s timeline!
Direct from @SPOTNEWSonIG: “I’m still in recovery mode. Still feeling discomfort… My home health nurse came on Friday…” He’s still on the mend but is making progress little by little. He’s eating well and even went to the store!

Surprisingly, SWAT was called for this as the driver had barricaded himself in the cab of the semi truck, armed with a knife. SWAT was able to get the driver to come out and placed him into custody at 11:51am.
TRAFFIC ALERT: A semi truck hit the Metra Train Bridge westbound on Peterson & North Ravenswood, It appears to be LOW CLEARANCE. It broke in half. @WBBM1059Traffic @SubxNews @Chicago_Scanner

.@SPOTNEWSonIG is continuing to heal at home. I’ve spoken with him (via text) a few times this trip to the point he told me to quit worrying and enjoy my trip! I informed him I can do both. It’s a long healing process but he is healing day by day and making improvements.
@GayDispatcher @SPOTNEWSonIG Spot clearly isn't ok 😪😪😪

.@SPOTNEWSonIG is officially off of bedrest and texted me from the chair earlier. He still has a long way to go but he’s making some progress…

I got a text from @SPOTNEWSonIG earlier today. He is continuing to heal but is having a few setbacks along the way. Keep him in your thoughts. Hopefully they get him back moving in the right direction and get his strength up
I just got a voice message from @SPOTNEWSonIG. He sounded better than I thought he would but definitely not his normal self. He’s in pain but they are managing it. He hates the hospital bed 🤣🤣 (I had to chuckle when he was talking about the bed) It was good to hear his voice!

I just got a text from @SPOTNEWSonIG. He’s talking and using voice to text. He’s finally in a room and trying to get some rest. I was happy he is awake & with it enough to text w/ Siri! Keep those well-wishes coming 🫶🏼
.@SPOTNEWSonIG has made it out of surgery and is now in recovery. He’s expected to be there for a couple of hours before moving to a room.

I’ve went back & forth about posting this but fuck it…he can be mad at me later. If everyone can keep @SPOTNEWSonIG in your thoughts today. He’s currently undergoing a pretty complex medical procedure related to his cancer. He can use all of our thoughts, prayers, and support.
@Phlox218 they scheduled me for surgery
