Ok Y’all
All bullshitting aside.
Mikes in the Critical Care/ICU. I’m waiting to find out -where- exactly.
(FOLLOW UP: DO NOT BLOW UP THE HOSPITAL WITH PHONE CALLS AND SHEEEE-IT)
Hit me up if’n you have wants needs questions and I’ll do my best as the ‘gatekeeper’ to keep y’all up to date. Currently, they got him in Caromont Regional Medical Center. In lieu of flowers and other assorted phaggotry, donate at the GoFundMe I set up for him. Ladies, Nude pics and such will be forwarded as deemed appropriately, as well as panties and other such ‘morale boosting’ stuff.
I just got word that my brother-from-another-mother Mike Hendrix, late of the famed rockabilly band The Belmont Playboys and more recently of the Blog “Cold Fury” https://coldfury.com/ has gotten seriously hemmed up medically speaking. Last Thursday after a slightly prolonged absence from his blog, I reached out to him to find out WTF was going on and I heard back that he’d come down with a nasty case of food poisoning.
Since then, apparently something faaar MOR serious happened.
His brother (actual) Jeff called me tonight as I left one of my more ‘colorful messages’ on his phone (in possession currently by his sainted lil ole Lady Mom) who apparently when she recovered from my diatribe, had Jeff call me to fill me in on what’s up.
Essentially Mike’s seriously fucked up.
Food Poisoning turned out to be a MAD infection. His diabeetus didn’t help the issue, so they had to lop off his foot, then his leg, as the infection was/is spreading. They’re fixin’ to make it even MOR stumpy as the infection still isn’t under control. He’s in critical/ICU level condition, but NOT COVID related thank the Gods.
So, My brother-from-another-mother, henceforth now known as “Peg-Leg Mikey” is gonna have some serious medical bills and life altering needs. So hence Ye Olde GoFundMe Fundraiser.
I’m starting the ball rolling with the remainder of my ‘raising Christmas’ fund, and ask you please to help in any way, shape or form. Mike is damned fine people and has entertained people from all walks of life, either musically or through his magnificent acerbic writing and wit.
As they say, step up and help a brother out.
Spread the Word gang. Mike needs us and has never asked for anything.

Well just damn. Awful news, but we thank you for letting us know, BC.
That hospital is roughly 30 minutes from me. I’m gone during the day working at the moment but if you know of anything I can do let me know.
I’ll make a donation, possibly to Mike directly.
Appreciated Barry!
This’s some suck-news but I’m ‘calling in the clans’ of ALL the bloggers I know… Time to rally ’round the family Aye?
I went ahead and hit the gofundme you set up. I’ll do more later. Looks like a new cause for my Christmas giving.
Shit. Thanks for letting us know and keep us posted. I was starting to figure that it was serious.
OK< Info has been posted in my Blog. Thanks for letting me know
Damn I hate to Hear This.
Not sure why all the Good Folks seem to be going down as of late?
We need to weed out all the weak, woke POS not Good People Like Mike.
Hang Tough Brother!

Thoughts and prayers Mike. I had been worried. You’re a tough one though. Get well.
Stupid question – What’s a MAD infection?
