LesTyranny….

    Hey Taverneers, it’s been going on a month since LesTyranny has been active on the platform. I had been talking with him fairly regularly, but since his last activity on Paine.TV, his phone now goes straight to voicemail, and his mailbox is full. He hasn’t answered weekly texts I’ve sent as well, which is quite uncharacteristic of him. The last I heard from him, a month or so ago, he was still suffering the flesh eating effects of the Tarantula bite. He sent me some pictures of the wound, and it didn’t look good. Also, there was a question of the venom doing potential damage to his heart valves, which if that happens, could mean his moving from a New Jersey hospital to one in Texas to be treated by a surgeon who operated on his mother years ago, and to great success. He has a good friend, who was with him at the hospital, but unfortunately I have no contact info on her, so as of now, we have no way to try to initiate contact. Keep him in your prayers, and if anyone hears anything, or makes contact, please keep us informed here.

    Thank you Dana for alerting me to this… I do not have a number for him either. Perhaps @mike has a number…?

      He had given me his cell number, and we had been regularly talking via that number since before my surgery. Now no one answers, and it just goes straight to voicemail. As I said, his mailbox is full, so I cannot speak with him. I’ve been texting the same number every week just to check on him, and the texts have not (so far) indicated to be not received, in other words they have not been kicked back to me. But there has been no acknowledgement from him, which is really unlike him.

    I scrolled through some old texts from the time he was newly bitten. He told me that he had entered the River View hospital in Red Bank, NJ. I just called the hospital, and he is not there. LesTyranny is his Paine.TV name. He told me his real name, but didn’t want to make it public knowledge. But no one by his name is in that facility.

    He had been suspicious that someone was trying to harm him, because of the nature of the spider bite, (Tarantulas are not native to NJ), and there were some other strange phenomena going on that also arose his suspicions. To my knowledge, he had not consulted with law enforcement. But not long after, the bite got worse and he entered the hospital.

    OK, I visited LesTyranny’s personal bio page on Paine.TV. I went to his ACTIVITY. It said he had been active two weeks ago, however his last post was four weeks ago. It could be that his activity two weeks ago, was in the form of direct messages, and not public posts. In one of his last posts four weeks ago, he mentioned the possibility of going to Texas, if the venom damaged his heart. He mentioned two medical facilities, and the name of a particular heart surgeon he wanted to see. I telephoned both the Texas Heart Institute in Houston, and, St.Luke’s. The Texas Heart Institute is a clinic, where one would go for a doctor’s appointment, not an in-patient facility. I checked their registry of Physicians currently on staff, and the doctor he mentioned being interested in visiting is not listed as being on staff. St. Luke’s is a huge complex of facilities recently taken over by Baylor, which I’m not sure is the University or a medical corporation…or both. They have dozens of offices in the Houston area. I called the only listing for St. Luke’s Hospital in Houston, and after several attempts, gave up, as the telephone rang incessantly, but no one ever answered, and there was no message giving further information.

    Hate to say it, but this sounds like one of those missing person shows the wife and I watch on ID or similar channels…😒

    One other thing, in his last post, he mentioned the doctor he hoped to help him in Texas, if he developed heart problems. It was a Dr. Denton Cooley. I searched on him, and he indeed practiced at the facilities in Houston, but he passed away in 2016.

    Les told me he’s trying bounce back. That was couple weeks ago.
    He was also helping a friend with cancer while trying to recover himself.

    OK, in my search for Dr. Cooley, I found he practiced also at a Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center, whose number I found. I called them, an he is not there, and is not in their system.

      LesTyranny is not there. Of course Dr. Cooley wouldn’t be there…I’d hope. I’m running out of options here.

      Hey Dana I have a similar story regarding Les, last text from him was may 10. Calls go straight to a full voicemail. I’ve had no contact since and have been concerned as well. Hoping Les will reappear here soon.

    Really appreciate and am humbled by the concern …..

    Currently staying at my 6′ tall Polish super model friends home ~ and healing my ass.

    I ought to call in to Mike for a live chat at some point – it def. wouldn’t be boring. I don’t know where to find the number, or forgot. Have you ever forgotten that you forgot something ? Neuro-logical lyme disease re-reared it’s ugly mindless head after the tarantula bite.

    I’m about 85% now – thanks to my personal knowledge of herbal medicine – I probably should be dead, and the truth is, my ankles are still swelling up, and it’s scary to contemplate that my heart may have been damaged, or a valve ……not sure yet.

    BTW – Tarantula bites are also psychotropic, meaning they are akin to a super eveil version of peyote mixed with battery acid. I lost my mind – literally, my sense of direction, etc, etc ….and went into to an absolute “screaming bloody murder” rage …..

    Then the ATM card disapears, and fuicking phone gets stolen, hotel room gets robbed

      Why do i have to keep “re-joining” the discussion here….

      Go visit Kensington before everyone jumps up and down in celebration of the

      “the living” likes it’s some special club ….

      Ain’t know ivory towers around here pal.

      Please consider that 85+% of “the living are generally royal douche bags.

      Maybe the problem is that they are even allowed to live ???
