For those of you who don?t know the escapist [a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/ace_of_something] called Ace_of_Something[/a] I think he?s most known on this board for his [a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.78482?page=1] ask a cop[/a] thread and always bringing up the unique law enforcement point of view. He is also my best and oldest friend, we?ve been friends for 20 years since a faithful day in 4th grade when he beat up a kid who was picking on me for my ?Indian girl hair?. He has had my back ever since than and is one of the most loyal, good natured, and kind-hearted people you will ever meet. If he got hit by a car he'd apologize and make sure the driver was okay before tending his massive wound. That's the kind of guy he is.
I wanted those on the board to know he was admitted to the hospital yesterday after having a seizure then not being able to stand up. I am not a doctor so forgive me If I?m getting this stuff muddled or oversimplifying but I?m trying my best.
Ace has [a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemic_lupus_erythematosus]lupus[/a] and it is currently attacking his Neurosystem. From what I understand it?s eating his Peripheral nervous system. He cannot move his legs and arms because they?re backed up with ?toxins?. Although, he is making progress with his arms already. Able to move most of the fingers on his right hand. He is in good spirits saying 'hey if i can move my fingers I can finish up demon's souls while I'm here right?' They have to put shunts in and drugs and all kinds of horrible things in hopes that they can stop his own immune system from paralyzing him permanently.
I ask that if you?re the type who prays please do. If you don't pray just send hopes and wishes.

AN UPDATE: Nov 23

Ace is now able to move his arms freely and twist his torso to the left. He will be in a wheelchair while he continues to learn to walk. He will be coming home on the 25th. So expect him to begin posting again because he won't be returning to work for about a month. He plans on doing this weather or not he's in a wheelchair because he's a afraid he'll go crazy if he doesn't have mysteries to solve.

I guess the deep down Catholic in me will pray for him. Remember to be strong he needs strong friends right now.

I find it amazing that he's in good spirits simply due to being able to move his fingers... he really must be a very mentally strong guy. His is a terrible affliction, and my best wishes go out to him - let's all hope he can beat this.

Tell him that I said get well soon.

I know that may not mean much from some anonymous guy on the internet, but I really hope he gets well and doesn't suffer any permanant problems because of this.

Ace_Of_Something has been pretty cool, the few times I've seen him. Polite fellow. And his avatar always gives me a laugh.

So here's to hoping that the chap pulls through with no ill effects. I'll play Detroit Rock City a few times for him.

I don't pray, but I think the collective goodwill of all these people can mean more than that. We might be anonymous strangers, but we extend a compassionate hand.

Even though I disagree with a lot of his opinions in his "ask a cop" thread (hell, I should start a thread called "ask a crim") I thought he was an interesting, intelligent guy and it's pretty sad to see this happen to him. Hope he gets better.

I'm not the type to pray, but send him my best wishes. I'm pretty sure the majority here on The Escapist will be sending there best wishes. I hope he gets well soon.

Oh, forgot to say, please let him know the Escapist is behind him :)
Also this post doubles as a bump.

Never talked to him but he is one of the few I peoples names I remember, and his bio in his profile made me laugh about being born. (I didn't just see that either, I remember it from quite awhile ago.)
Hope he gets better and all that.

I hope he's going to be alright.
Not being to move at all, being fully awake, would make me an emo or something.

Will do!
I always thought he was a good guy, so make sure to give him our best!
His good spirits are admirable, and I'll keep him in prayer.

I've seen quite a few of his posts and it saddens me to know that he is ill. I hope he gets better.

He is one of my favourites on here and I do not want to see a good man go, so I'll get in touch with the religious man in me and pray to whatever power there is in the universe.

That really hurt me when I read that. I'll keep him in my prayers. He's indeed one of the kindest escapists on the website. A good guy ;(

Yeesh. I'm just reading that and all I can think of is Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (Lucy had lupus, if I'm correct).

Sorry, man. I'll be hoping for him.
