His link to the outside world is an iPhone 6, not easy to type on.
I was just thinking -- I bet that somebody near him (DFW area) might be able to loan him an iPad or other tablet for the duration of his hospital stay.
I'm too far away, but I know that there are a number of SIGforum members in that area.

If somebody wants to send him a tablet (since he has an iPhone, and iPad would probably be best, if possible) I'd be happy to chip in $20 to offset the cost.

Unfortunately I don't have an iPad to loan, actually don't even own one. But if there is a need for someone to do some courier work in the DFW area, I'm available.

I have an older Ipad from work, has the OG large charging cable. I'd be happy to donate it if it works ok, haven't used it in a few years so have to charge it up and see. I'm on the NE side of the metroplex.

Maybe we want to send you a Candy Gram. Can you email me your name and the name of the hospital? My email is in my profile.
Regardless, I hope you get well soon!

PaPa, we know you're fine but some of us want to make you finer. It's not a hand out, it's a gift. Someone email me a shipping address so we can call it a day

Ain't nuffin' wrong with taking a loaner for while you're in the hospital. You can return it when you're out.
When I was stuck in the rehab facility for a month and a half and did not have reception on my iPad, SigMonkey sent me a Verizon "hockey puck" kind of thing that bridged cellular to my iPad. It made all the difference in the world and I really appreciated it. I returned it to the Monkey, along with a little "thank you" token, once I was spring from rehab and back home.
Take the use of a loaner, dude. It will make your life a bit easier to bear while you're stuck in the hospital.

Mustang-PaPa, this is what members of the Sigforum family do for one another. Seriously.
Even though we sometimes fight among ourselves, we still look out for one another.

Bytes and all im not sure if my wife could deal getting things returned if i take turn for the worst. I picked up several stashed around the house garge and pickup and put in the gun safe leaving on afew loaded in my man room bottom roll around tool box that is locked and secured. She couldnt even deal the thought of having think about the what if.

The hardest part of service is being the one who is served. But we must be willing to receive service to allow others to be edified too. otherwise no service could ever be rendered and no one would ever be edified. Service is what we do here at SIGforum. It is the practice of selflessness that strengthens character.

PaPa, your better half isn't going to have to return anything! Ever. Ever. This will be a gift to you and all you need to do is email me a shipping address. Then we can call it a day and you can get on with your healing. FYI I'm sending very good thoughts to you and your wife.
