Damar Hamlin - Now (1/11/2023) discharged from Buf Gen & “recovering at home”

[Bills!Win!]

I have to go to sleep for work tomorrow. The game would’ve been ending right about now. How am I supposed sleep with all of this on my mind? I’m dreading waking up and checking TBD. I’m so concerned 

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

I don't think we'll know anything further tonight.  Best in mental health to those who stay tuned in.  Prayers up for Damar as he fights.

Thanks man.

I was really struggling with how to deal with that one.

The only thing he says is that it’s floating around. I don’t think that confirms anything.

Take a deep breath. Focus on what you can control. Wake up tomorrow, check for an update, and try to be the best version of yourself possible.

Everyone has been amazing - but watching the reaction of Cincy's coaches, players & fans, and seeing how they're immediately posting the link to the charity, and just all of it. It's really beautiful.  Nothing but love for that city right now.

If he is not basing his tweet on word from medical officials,  he needs to be fired.  At this point,  no one should speculate or make firm statements unless backed by medical staff of the UC hospital 

 

It’s more than that, with the permission of the family.  Being a marketing rep or agent or friend does not authorize you to release medical information.

I'm not surprised at all - completely respect both the Bengals and Bills for calling it as it was- if true the NFL reaction reminds me of stuff I was exposed to in the military during drills and seeing ***** happen and just had to push through - giant difference that was training for war not to play a *****in football game- disgusted and I think it's time to hang it up 

 

My ship transited the Strait of Malacca in 2016.

 

The USS MCCAIN transited it a year later in 2017. 10 sailors died. All 10 were in the same department I was in and 1/3 were in the same division I was in- same type of destroyer. The berthing/workspaces that they were lost in were ours as well. It could have been us but it was the MCCAIN.

 

That's how fragile life is, how things like this are UTTERLY INEXPLICABLE. I was devastated then like I am now...

Got a story up on ABC 7 out of Buffalo now also.

Am leaning toward letting it go.

Thoughts?

It seems to be believed that Jordan Rooney's tweet is from a legitimate source. If so, and he is taking the information from the medical professionals, then it's as positive as it can be considering the circumstances (as per follow up tweets from MDs).

 

That's what I'll try to tell myself as I attempt to sleep tonight.

I assume if they do fly out it will be on the officially planned flight, which is at 1.30am. Not sure if it is from anyone reputable though; I trust tweets posted on here as more would have a feel for reliable Bills sources than I do.

 

As an aside, if it is the case, I expect some Bills staff to remain in Cincinnati.

yea, I’d be surprised if they are out substantially early which means some waiting

 

You still need to get crew to the planes, load things etc… it’s not instant to move a group like this. Maybe a shade early but not a moments notice.

Their coaches have come into their biggest game of the season. They've started the game on fire. Everything is going their way. 

 

And, in a moment, they have put all that to one side and put an opposition player's welfare before everything they've all been working all year for.

 

It was incredible to see.

I hope people are telling him it’s not his fault. I can imagine the guilt he is feeling from this.   Higgins you did nothing wrong it was a freak accident.

It’s legit. It’s not a new go fund me, it was established weeks ago. 

 

It was established years ago and we don't know for sure if it is still active or whether it is something Hamlin is still currently invloved with or whether he ahs a differecnt preference

Your not alone and I'm sorry for the pain you felt and feel - life is way to short and gets scary quick and when the real moments hit they stay with you - some ***** you just don't shake

Sick to my stomach.  Hurting for Damar, his family, and his Bills brotherhood.

 

Please be ok.

 

[Bad Things]

Just joining in from New Zealand.

 

I just got home and had big plans to watch the game on delay.  I've only just began reading about what happened.

What horrible news.

 

All the best to you, Damar.  Kia Kaha!

God bless.
