Just wondering if anyone knows how Jason is doing. He's a really great guy. I hope he's okay, but I haven't seen any diary updates in quite some time from him. Is anyone in touch with him?

I talked to him a few days after New Year's and he was in Florida spending time with his family and figuring out his next move, I guess. He sounded pretty upbeat but we honestly don't know each other apart from a few emails. Actually it was great getting to talk to him on the phone; he's even funnier than on the message center. My intuitive sense after hanging up the phone was that he was okay all things considered, but he is still adjusting to a very difficult situation (a physically debilitating disease, crushing medical bills). When I talked to him he hadn't had to be hospitalized again, so that's good. But a huge piece of this is psychological -- walking with a cane so soon after a period in his life when he was sought after and photographed for his looks. It must be like having the rug pulled out from under you. Certainly something very much like it could happen to any of us who escort.

 

For those of you with no clue what I'm talking about, you might want to check out Jason's online diary. It hasn't been updated in awhile but it's powerful stuff.

Ditto to the above. I have no way of knowing how hard it is, since this doesn't seem to be temporary, but a long lasting condition. But, Jason, if you read this, we all hope ur doing better, and that you continue to post here. Best.

I was considering emailing him and offering to get together to talk or just be company on one of the bad days. I know people with debilitating illnesses aren't always physically up to talking or visiting but they might like just someone to be there and keep them company. Of course I have never hired Jason and aside from some emails have never spoken to him. But he is nearby and I wouldn't mind the trip.

 

Do you guys think I am out of line to make the offer? Jeff

No. I think that's very, very generous of you.

 

Just allow him to decline, if that's what think's is appropriate for him right now. But, in that case, perhaps you could leave the door open.

 

Your offer is a splendid counterweight to some of the bitterness here.

 

Thank you.

I think he'd be touched by the offer. He may not email back right away because I do think some days are better than others but he told me all the support and encouragement he's gotten has meant a lot.

>Oh, c'mon, TY, the snow's great! Boston is going to look

Sorry, BG, I disagree. Snow sucks! I moved from Ft. Lauderdale to Spokane a few years ago. I should have my head examined.

 

It's been snowing since yesterday, 6" and growing. (Ok, I had to work a sexual image in there. At least it was a half-decent one.

;-) ). It's too cold, the roads are slippery, and too many people are driving like maniacs. Thank heaven the money's good.

 

God, I miss the beach.:'(

Oh, gosh, first TY, then Ethan and now you. :-)

 

Snow is great (6" is also good, but maybe you'll get more...). It's also fun and there are all kinds of things to do in it. And it can be incredibly romantic, taking a long walk in a nice snow.

 

Or go build a snowman. (Not anatomically correct, unless your neighbors are not too, too close.)

RE: Update on Jason Reardone

 

http://www.jasonreardoneescort.com/diary.html

 

FIRST LET ME SAY HOW INCREDBILY SHOCKED I WAS TO HAVE BEEN MISSED AND THE GREAT THINGS YOU ALL HAVE SAID BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES, THANK YOU!

 

Since many of you are curious I will give you a brief update on the last month or so. Well on Dec 20 I garnered the help of my now roommate to assist me in moving my personal items across country in the event I may be unable to at a later time. Since then I have been unpacking boxes and trying to assess what is really going on with me.

 

Being home in Tampa has really made me realize what I'm facing and the psychological component of this condition is overshadowed only by monetary loss which now threatens my home, car and everything else. I had started cortico-steroid therapy over a month ago. I gained alot of water weight and quite frankly look terrible if you ask me. I have ballooned to about 180 lbs and aside from flipping the channel changer have been restricted to bed rest. Recently the Dr. released me be some exercises at home with the addition of Anabolic Steroid treatment. Needless to say I'm taking pills and injecting my ass with enough steroid to feed a tumor. The medication doesn't sit well with my stomach and often times causes a bit of mania and depression. The worst yet is what it has done to my self esteem and outward changes to my face, torso, gut, etc.

 

Some days I am just fine but continue using my cane, other times I cannot get out of bed for upwards to 3 days. When I am up and around I fall often. Whenever I'm too vain to take my cane I inevitably make up for it by falling down somewhere in the middle of the road or some off the wall place that I'm not supposed to be. The difficult part is that I cannot extend my arms to catch myself, I just fall to the ground like a sac of potatoes, it's kinda funny when i think of it, then i assess my injuries which occur just as often and all of a sudden it's not funny anymore.

 

Well at any rate, not to drone on about myself. Life sucks and lately I wonder if I'll make it through the day. I haven't remained in touch via Message Center much I guess because I don't think I have anything to add, I very angry right now, very hurt, very upset, very confused and not much good to anyone's forum if you ask me. I've been unable to pay most of my bills and although a friend has taken over my lease in Los Angeles to ease the burden there, my daily bills and mortgage here in Tampa are behind creating more stress. I have some friends here in Tampa but have been too vain to go see any of them and quite frankly tired of telling the story of what happened to me and why I won't be hot, sexy Jason anymore. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to face, but I'm so touched that you guyz would even think of me and it pleases me to know that you express it.

 

I heard someone say once, "Living is optional" I always thought that was odd and never really understood until now what it meant. I am hanging in there, day to day, WOW it is so hard. If only I knew I was gonna get better or worse or whatever, but they're not sure the proggression of the disease because it is so rare.

 

 

I'm really sad right now. I had so much planned for my life and that is all gone, uncertain at best. Your prayers are appreciated. I'm flattered that you would think of me in my abscence. If anyone is able to help now would be a good time, I love life but it seems things are fading fast and that I'm losing everything. It's hard with my Southern Baptist upbringing not to think that I caused this in someway even though I know better...I think.

 

Anyway, I'm somewhat hopeful that the anabolics may help strengthen the muscles not affected and help return me to the cute, hot, sexy guy that I now see I was. I wish I had seen it then. It's true what they say about appreciating things when they go. Thank you guyz, keep in touch with me, I'll try and do the same, I promise. <jr>
