Sinn Bodhi posted the following on his Facebook, updating fans on the
condition of Jake Roberts…
“UPDATE on Jake The Snake Roberts: Great news!… Docs took Jake off
ventilator way earlier then expected! He is kicking ass on his spirometer
breathing tests…If he keeps up this pace he will not need to go back on
Ventilator so everyone please cross your fingers! Jake finally can speak for the
first time since last Wed… Late last night (while still ventilated & unable
to speak) one of the male nurses took a bandage off of Jake’s neck where they
have tubes for his meds… It was so unpleasant to Jake he wrote on the pad they
gave him three letters… DDT… Even though Jake is off of the ventilator for the
time being he will be monitored for 24-48 hours before docs decide if it is safe
to keep him off. Once Jake could speak he wanted steak, milkshakes, eggs &
donuts… He is only allowed to get his nutrients intraveinously for the time
being… Jake even joked that he would do anything for a donut if he had to… The
nurses still said no donuts to which Jake replied with his favorite gesture I
think he was trying to say ‘you’re #1′ but I could be wrong?!… One of Jake’s
sons flew in to help out but Jake insisted I show him a good time while he rests
tonight… Soooo. Zombie Burlesque, here we come! ?#?GetBetterJake?”
