OK, local Portland-ites, I need your help. I woke up this morning to find an IM from Jo (krazyfelioness), and she is not doing well at all. I've not seen her this bad. I'm not sure just what all is the problem, as the IM was pretty disjointed and rambling, but I can tell she's in a very bad place. Being house-bound isn't helping, and being there alone is a factor, too. She's stuck there with only her thoughts and her pain, as far as I can tell. Plus, you know she's an emotional person, and it looks as though there's a lot of things piling up on her.

So, seeing as how I'm on the opposite freaking coast, there's not a lot I can do. Hopefully, some of you can go by and check on her, see if she could use some help, or at the least, some company. She mentioned, too, someone that she might be able to contact, but she could use some help in doing it.

I know this may be a lot to ask and I recognize that she can be a lot to deal with. I'm aware that not everyone can or wants to put in the kind of energy that it takes to do this, but I hope that at least a few of you can help her out. I can't begin to imagine what she'll be like in person, but someone needs to go check on her, see what's what, and give her a hand.

Please?
