Thanks for the update... what a strange turn of events. i hope his leg is saved. I think lvj's priorities is somewhat messed up.
But I guess it is to be expected after being in a certain state in a long while.

I myself have(is) in such a state (thats why i ended up here on Steemit, trying to see if I can somehow make it....).. and sometimes it looks like no way out of a certain situation. Certainly, you are a big influence on lvj and able to help him, perhaps he has become too reliant ?
