Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Just got off the phone with him. He sounded his old self and he was eating something, which, phew is a massive relief. They moved him to intensive care, which at first had me worried, but it sounds like the right move if he's sounding so much better. Still not out of the woods obviously, but the good karma y'all sent helped.

He thinks it was the new chemo treatment, and like someone had told me, chemo really weakens your immune system, so that's probably how he got the pneumonia.

There were some programs in the past. Not sure how it is now given the situation. But def look around. The big thing is if you can get help with a down payment. The only reason we have a house is because of some rural program that lumped the down payment into the cost. Or something like that.
