Has there been any recent updates on Kim Pegula?

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

I think she's fine.  She played in the US open recently and made it to the semi finals.

 

I bet shes back to training for her next tournament

 

EDIT: Sorry you meant Kim not Jessica.

You are confusing Jessica and Kim.

I was wondering… what IS the last official update that we got from the team or PSE?  That she’s in the hospital but recovering well?   I honestly can’t remember

No need for any speculation or anything, but there is nothing wrong with the occasional reminder to keep her in our thoughts and prayers.

Absolutely Realist, but that’s not how this started.  People wanted an update and the family has made it clear, it’s a private matter.  I work in the business side of medicine and I respect HIPPA.  I try not to know people’s medical information.  If they feel it’s a private matter, then I’ll respect their interests.

 

It doesn’t mean I haven’t said a prayer for Kim among my family and friends.  More than a few our fathers, but I don’t need to know anything about her medical condition other than she is ok.

 

I have a close family member who works for the Sabres for twenty years, but I’ve never asked her about Kim, because it would put her in a compromising position.  I’m sure she knows, but not going to ask her about it.

Riot, the last I heard was she was resting and being treated at home by medical professionals.  I’m sure they have a nurse on staff at the home, and is getting too flight care.

 

So if anyone wants to say a prayer, great.  No reason to ask though.

It’s an opinion based on zero facts. If you’ve already said it, why feel the need to say it again? 

What do you want me to say?  She hasn't been seen at all, and the family hasn't made a statement about her health in months...do you think she is recovering from a broken wrist, and is just lounging by the pool in hiding for no good reason?  Am I a ray of sunshine, or do you have your head stuck in the sand?

It makes zero difference to me and my life. It just strikes me as odd that you’d go out of your way not once but twice to post that you think it’s bad news. 
 

Why? So you can say you were right when the news does come out? Seems like a weird thing to speculate about.

There is some relevance as to why Bills fans should care, even if only from a football perspective. Terry is in his 70s. It’s not crazy to say Kim, who’s much younger, could be the sole owner some day. If Kim isn’t in the ownership picture, it changes how long we may have stable, very good ownership. A team is only as good as it’s owner. 
 

Obviously, 99.99% of us care about Kim’s health primary because we are empathetic and she seems like a really good person. (Not saying you aren’t an empathetic person, btw, that was worded weird)

I am sorry.  You win. She hasn’t been seen or heard from for 6 months, but I am confident it is nothing major, and she will be leading the team out of the tunnel for the GB game.  
 

Better?

Given that she was always around the team and at games and hasn't been seen this season I think that says a lot.

 

I also don't think it's crazy to wonder about the long-term absence of the president of both major professional Buffalo sports teams. It's a natural question. Delicate situation for sure, and I'm sure PSE or the family will update everyone eventually, hopefully it will be Kim herself who does that.

Have said it before. HIPPA laws.  If Kim andrTerry don't want anyone to know. We won't. 

 

Eventually, and that date may be far away, they have a moral responsibility to tell the fans what happened to the co-owner and president of this team. It's the right thing to do.

No.

 

They have no responsibility to quench your desire to know about her personal medical condition. If they want it to stay private, it should stay private. That seems like the decent way to handle it. Our natural curiosity does not supersede her right to privacy.

HIPPA laws only apply to covered entities and businesses. It doesn't prevent private citizens from discussing things unless they are employees of those places.

 

For example, a person walking down the street that saw someone having a stroke is not subject to HIPPA laws in terms of disclosing information as they do not work for a covered entity or business.

This is just your friendly reminder that it's HIPAA, not HIPPA.

Don’t you know we should never ask about this? In particular, if you ask any of your friends or other Bills fans in person, you should immediately be scolded and shamed because you are inquiring about someone’s health that you are concerned about.

If she had a stroke (most likely what happened) we wouldn't really expect to see or hear anything for months.  It really is at 6 months when recovery really slows down.  They are smart to keep saying she is progressing well. It has only been a few months.  She likely is improving very slowly.  The reality though is she won't be President of the Bills again.  Hopefully she is just able to speak and live a quality life.

I've also seen this rumor circulating online and very unfortunate if true for the exact reasons you outlined.

 

The only silver lining you can find in this situation is the Bills organization rallying around this and using it as more motivation to bring a championship home to Buffalo this year.

are you actually expecting someone on this site to know her current health status? and if so, that they would post it here?  You can ask all you want, but don't think that you deserve an answer.

Here’s the answer: No and No.

Well, having experienced family members having strokes, a full recovery is not really an option. But one can hope.

Many, many stroke victims recover fully with no side effects, and many have limited residual side effects and can resume their lives.  My wife for one was back to work in 6 months working in the medical field.

 

Yes, many can have life changing, debilitating side effects from a stroke and never recover fully.  That’s why it is important to know the signs and symptoms of a stroke and act FAST.

I will keep holding out hope until I know otherwise.

I guess it's part of being a fan, is holding out hope, however foolish it may seem to be after the fact.

 

[BuffBillsForLife]

I'm not a doctor (although I have seen people play them on TV), but to me a stroke has always been the only reasonable explanation considering the apparent suddenness of her illness and lack of updates afterwards.

 

Here's hoping she makes a full recovery.

My dad had a stroke about 10 years ago, and you'd never even know. Everyone's side effects are different. My dad was very fortunate that he didnt really have any. His memory isn't great anymore, but his side effects are nothing like what happened with dick Clark and many other who have a stroke. Hopefully if Kim had a stroke, her side effects are minor

I a had stroke back in 2014. Luckily (if I can use that word) I had it while they were scanning my brain  in the hospital. Had to use a walker for several months and a cane for several more.  Didn't drive for a year.  

Had a real sharp memory before. Now I have to take a list  food shopping for even several items as I forget one or two if I do.  Ended up with  a very, very, very slight weakness on my left side and dizziness if I look up for a while (like looking up at the trees in the  woods. Had trouble remembering names but that went away. No lasting motor or speech problems.

it is certainly an opinion. An entitled one made by someone who thinks strangers owe them information on private health matters. Why exactly do the Pegulas have a “moral responsibility” to give you details on Kim’s health issue? Because you’re a fan? You bought a jersey once? Please let us know where this duty of theirs arises from. 
 

And yes I’m certainly more fun than you, given your opinion on what’s “owed” to you.
