His demeanor will change for the better, I assure you. This tends to make a person appreciate life and the time they have left. Every day is a gift.

Darren is a great person and is doing a world of good for pool through his YouTube channel.
If anything, he is a perfectionist and takes "losses" too hard on himself, as is clear by some of his posts on social media. He needs to realize that "he's been there and done that" so no need to pressure himself. The pool world knows he is a champ. I wish him a full and speedy recovery.

I have a close friend who had a massive heart attack 3 years ago. He was in a coma(induced) for just over 3 weeks. He’s fine today. This is a process and takes time.

Daz is a fighter and in good care. It’s scary for sure for all of us, but let’s not panic. Let’s hold it down while he heals up💪💪🙏🏼

I have a couple good Darren story’s, like Stu posted here. Should I post them in this thread. Happy times! They aren’t long but they certainly will be good thoughts.

As long as they are tasteful and uplifting, why not? If they, in any way, paint a negative picture of him, his actions, or anyone in his life, it's probably best avoided.

I doubt anyone will ever top the stories Chris Melling offered when he introduced Darren at the 2017 BCA Hall of Fame dinner, but you can try.

Sarcasm? Or sincerity? Hard to tell.

But that's exactly what I was thinking at the time. I hold no malice toward the medical staff. They did save my life.

But that was a hell of a thing to hear while you are laying in an emergency room dying.

I was deployed to Haiti in 1995-96. U.S. Army. At the hospital they brought a guy in on a gurney who was still conscious but in super bad shape. Doctor looked at him and told the nurses that there was nothing they could do for him and he was going to die. They pushed his gurney in between some other gurney's that had stiffs on them and walked away.
