Thanks for keeping us updated bud

Hopefully his family will let know what happened so that you can let us know. Thanks for the updates, and may things get better after this incident

Thank you for the update. Rusty's state of mind in the hours before he died has been the subject of much introspection on my part.

Same here I mean I was his roommate and he kept telling me everything is fine and not to worry, but to be honest I never got that impression....

I keep telling myself that he was doing ok... I mean... things weren't going his way but we had just spend a wonderful weekend together at AWA and ... and we had fun and did art together and I brought him dinner and we shared cheese and summer sausage for breakfast and snacked on oatmeal creme pies and gatoraide (the low sugar kind) and had a jar of Candy on the table that said " SAVE A DIABETIC, TAKE A PIECE " as a way to attract people to the table... We are both diabetic and so... we had fun with that.

I keep telling myself that we had a great weekend and that he was happy about that because if I tell myself anything else, I start spinning wildly downwards.

Every time on the phone he told me he was ok, it made me nervous because... he never sounded like he was so I chock that up to Rusty being Rusty... no one seemed to believe he was ok when he said he was so maybe he... maybe he was and that was just the tone he used when saying it. I believed him tho, when he told me he loved me at the end of each call. I know he did because I loved him back.

Isn't it always the case that hindsight is 20-20? There are a few things that I'm scowling at myself for, in the vein of "you dummy, why didn't you...?"

*sad headshake* Mitch was telling me that it was deeply painful for you (and Tryphon, for that matter). I'm regretting the what might have been. You know, I never even spoke to him? Gave him my number (he'd asked for it) a few weeks before he passed. Dummy. Should have asked for *his*.

I'm sorry to hear about this. Diabetes is harsh.. I was diagnosed about 2 years ago, on my brithday of all days. since then... I've hardly eaten sugar, I've excersized more.. ect. Keep Healthy.

When the number is up, it's up.. I'm ready for my eventual death, but I do hope it doesn't come soon...

My condolences to you, and his family. At least he won't have to worry about it, and in the end, you can all take some relief in the fact that he is at peace.
