Thanks. Are you affiliated with Chi or any of his friends or family?

Just to ease minds that I'm not some asshole posting false shit...  the answer to that question is actually, all of the above.  I've been sort of out of the picture for the last couple years because I've been sick.  but we went to school together, took poetry classes together,  sold our clothes to buy beer together, stole toilet paper from the Weatherstone cause we has spent our clothes money on beer.  I  was at his first wedding and then the baby shower.  Was in the Cheng family in San Francisco after they played the Warped Tour in 96 with 13 other people including 7 of the Cheng family members when we got pulled over by a cop because his mom had forgotten to put her new stickers on the plates.   sorry if that is TMI, I've been tripping around in my memories this week, scared as hell.  

But seriously...  From test results... they do think he'll be okay.  He is still comatose because he is healing.  He always told me about my disease that I shouldn't worry about the what if's and that things would work out if I was positive.
The reason that I posted was because I too... between updates from a family member and a small circle of friends who know him...  have been cruising the web to make sure I don't miss any new news.  And all I find are people saying awful things like he was probably drunk or thank got it was just the 'bass player', or what if he never gets better.  I guess I'm just trying to keep things positive at least on one place on the internet.  
One thing, Chi is the strongest person I've ever known and he is going to get through this.  He has to.  And thankfully things are looking up.  Chi always used to say that he never looked at the ground when he walked because he was too busy looking up for the answers.  (Steph used to tease him about tripping all the time...)  But anyway...  I guess that is all.  Sorry if I've been vague.  I just don't want to overstep bounds and spill too much of what was said to me in confidence.  

So... lets all just look up for the answers and not look down.

I've been holding back this entire time trying to keep it real, but I just lost it. this entire situation has me in tears. all the best for you, and the Chi's family. This is really hard on me and I've only met him a few times. Sometimes I get really emotional when I know someone as good as him is in trouble. Good people are far and few.

he knows jack-shit!

i hope chi (my fav chinese mofo in the world) pullsthefuck through..

he will..

it's fucking hard not to worry when the word "neurosurgeon" is being used to describe his accident.  hopefully having a neurosurgeon is standard for head injuries, just to monitor the situation, i hope it doesn't mean that brain surgery was necessary to sustain life

i'm still praying that he comes out soon and he can still lead a normal life, keep on fighting Chi

fuck it, here's a positive thought, once he's all healed up, just think about how amazing the first shows after the accident will be!  The return of the band after the accident should be a momenteous occasion!

The way it was explained to me is that the "Head Neurologist" of the hospital said that chi was expected to recover.  

I know that they haven't done surgery... just lots of tests. Scans and stuff.

This is just another example of how a lot of people on this board are so goddamn judgemental and condeming of others. I mean i see many posts that i disagree with, but that doesn't mean im gonna go out of my way to bash them. And i think the trend is, the more familiar and popular one is with the SL community, the more forgiving other members are of such ignorant comments. As to 1xuser, im sorry their are people like this who are so quick to condemn everything. I think its imprtant to rememebr not all the members are sober when posting, including myself. So please keep updating, you cant let one asshole disenchant you from broadcasting your concerns.

Yeah,please disregard Cyppe's comments. I'm sure they were fueled by alcohol. This is not the time nor place to be starting shit. We're all concerned about Chi,and we don't need the negativity around here right now.

WTF is wrong with you !???


And as everyone said already, 1xuser, thank you so much for taking time to come by here and let us know fresh news of Chi.
Just being there without knowing anything and imagining the worse is one of the most terrible feeling ever... It really is much appreciated that you can do that.

I'll definitely keep sending good vibrations for our dearest Chi, and hope on his quick recovery.



If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face.

I'm pretty sure a neurosurgeon is called for any head injury.  Just like if there is any chance at all something happened to the spinal cord during an accident they will take according action.  It's just safety precautions.  If what 1xuser is saying is true (and I do believe it to be true) then sounds like he will pull through which is great news.

Very tragic news, I'm pulling for him 100%.
Anyone who argues and gets into wars of words on this topic and about Chi, is doing nothing but acting foolish.

I pray he fully recovers, and am glad he has the support and care of his family, friends, doctors and the fans.
