    Shit. Fuck, man. This is awful news. You have a legacy on so many levels! Family, friends, passions and hobbies. I haven't had the chance to really talk with you much but that doesnt matter, it hurts all the same. You're loved, friend. You're appreciated and you brought so much to so many. Defy the odds!!

    Keep kicking ass. Cause damnit, you're Lanny!

    I think the first time we all met was upstairs at Grand Central Bowl.

    Lanny's going to be mad at me for this... But there was a time when I thought Lanny and Laker Lanny were the same person. :blush:

    I know things look grim, Lanny, but I heard this is the year the Blazers shock the league and win the title. Get better and stick around for the parade.

    Damn, that sucks.

    Stay strong Lanny. If there's one thing the Blazers have done years after years recently, it's beating the odds when nobody had them making the playoffs. As the ultimate Blazers fan, you can beat the odds as well !

    Maybe this is where Lanny goes Dame time and hits his own .9 game winner. Where the fuck is Paul George when someone actually needs him?

    Horrible news. I feel so bad for Lanny and his family.

    Also, I have to admit I have officially gone from concerned to scared over Sept 10th. That is when I find out if I am getting stents in my heart, or if they have to crack my chest, or .......

    Sorry, I know this isn't the time - just had a brief "oh shit!" moment.

    Just talked to Lanny. His regular doctor came to see him, looked over the same information, and says 6 months.

    This is great news!

    I'm sorry if this feels like an emotional roller coaster to some of you but I'm attributing this to all of your warm and caring posts.

    I'm going to apply the 2.5 factor....whatever you think will happen, multiply it by 2.5....that means Lanny will have at minimum 15 months!

    El Prez should take some sage over to Lanny's and set his place right with a sage burning cleanse like he did when I met him a Moda Center. That's the ticket.

    You don't have to apologize. Thank you for keeping us updated. That's really great news and hopefully they get him home soon. Maybe Lanny will be on here soon so he can see how much he means to all of us.

    Dude, that's awesome!

    Always always always get multiple opinions. It is scary how big of assholes and/or incompetent doctors can be.

    I think the Blazers should dedicate the season to Lanny and go out and win a championship.
