I am starting this topic in a Forum that Bobby Miller has always spent alot of time in, and because the Jackie 60 and Verbal Abuse families that he holds so dear might well be checking in here.

As those of you who read in our Frequent Posters forum Lucky Bitches know, our dear friend Bobby - poet and FIERCE hairdresser, scene fixture and performer and so much more - took ill around Halloween and has been in and out of the hospital with complications of AIDS. I am moving the discussion here to this more public place because I heard a few hours ago that Bobby has worsened and has been unconscious for two days in the hospital in Cape Cod.

So, I ask you to send whatever beams, prayers, invocations, spells, WHATEVER you can psychically give towards our friend and founding Motherboarder because he is either really fighting for his life right now or has already begun to leave it - its hard to say till he wakes up.

I do not expect news now before morning, but I will post whatever updates we get here. In case they come on and are reading, our thoughts and love go out especially to Basil and John, who are there at the hospital tonight.

Faeries Get Busy!

This topic was moved from our Frequent Posters Forum Lucky Bitches on 12/6. As it had been already in progress, here are the posts from that topic:

My original post:

Always painful to get this topic going again - it means some important member of the boards, and often a dear friend, is going through hell.

This time, it is bobby. I have known about this for over a week, but was waiting for bobby to give the okay for more people to know. The reason he did not return from Provincetown for Halloween as planned, is that he became very ill and is currently in the hospital in Hyannis.

It is PCP pneumonia, and Basil (who just returned from there and gave me the okay to do this) said that he is hanging tough, though he has lost weight.

I am telling y'all here in hopes that your best wishes and prayers, beams, spells and incantations can go out to him. All of his extended family in New York is truly fortunate as he has a circle of really loving people there who are taking incredible care of him, and keep us regularly informed.

He is too ill to be online at the moment, but you may want to email him or leave a message here as I am sure he will come on when able.

I just got this bad news from Basil Sunday night when I ran into him at Star Tartare. During casual conversation, I had asked Basil if he'd heard from Bobby, not knowing or even suspecting that anything was wrong. Basil hesitated before answering, but I'm glad he told me. Those that love Bobby will want to know. I really felt terrible!

Bobby - when you read this, I hope you're feeling better, darling. We miss you. If there's anything I can do, PLEASE let me know.

Lots of love to you,
LEX

Hello All..First off, let me thank you all for your kind words and thoughts. It is a boon to me to know that I have real family there who cares. After so many years in NYC 30, I have seen so many come and go and I think of them often, I only wish they knew.And now I know how much they suffered. They were the early saints.
I was diagnosed Oct 31 ( the anniversary of my mothers passing) with PCP pneumonia and Crypto Spiro Meningitis. Very nasty bugs, both and within a week I was hospitalized. I have dropped from 178 lbs to 140 and have "that look" that is so startling and scary. But the good news is that this is 2003, for surely if this were 1995 I would not be looking at a future, but now with the current medications there is much hope. It is a slow walk through the fire but I am willing.Plus I am in the greatest of hands here with a loving supportive husband and family.
I ask each of you to open your hearts more tonight before you go to bed and look for the very best part of yourself for you never know when you will be called upon to use it to survive. I will be fine , in time. I miss you all and think of you even if you don't know it. Thank you Chi Chi for your special kndness and understanding.Sweet Helen and Lex and Tonya and Kitty Thank you.And Mr. Joe thank you too, and Rose darling your voice sounded so concerned it made me cry.I love you dear, and all the rest of you that took the time to write or email. I haven't been online in 4 weeks. I have a lot of catching up to do.

Stay in love with life. Best xxxxxxx Bobby

PS>SPECIAL to Mother Sabrina Your words were like food to me darling.Thank you 1000 kisses xxxxxxx
