The Official Get Well Jody Genessey Thread

Punch Bowl Re-Filler
Just saw on Twitter that Jody Genessey is taking some time off to deal with personal issues. I believe he posts here as DJJazzyJody or something like that. I enjoy his articles but I did think something was not quite right this season. Nice of his boss to give him paid leave to deal with whatever he needs to.

Good luck, Jody. I hope you get whatever help you need and come back strong!


FYI, this was the last story I'll write for a while. I've been struggling for a long time with personal issues that need to be resolved.

My boss was kind enough to suggest the personal leave (paid even!). I hope to be back by the end of the season. I have a column out soon.

I think anybody who's seen me this season — the beard, the bulk, maybe even a snarkier tone — knows that something's been off with me.

I enjoy his stuff. He's a funny dude as well. Wish him the best.

What's wrong with him? Health or marriage?

Shouldn't speculate, but health is at least a huge concern. Maybe not the cause, but certainly a symptom. He really let himself go physically, probably in reaction to other things going on. As PKM said, he's a good one, so we just wish him the best with WHATEVER it is.
 
I hope he gets better. Will miss his tweets and vines, but there are more important things in life than that...
 
Good to hear his family is supporting him with his struggles.

I deleted the pics. No need to kick a man while he's down. As he said in the article, he's been embarrassed by the weight gain and that's caused him to reclusive from certain social situations. I can understand that.

Yep. I've never been morbidly obese, but my weight has crept up over the years, just as one of my doctors warned. He said you put on 2-3 pounds a year and after 10 years you'll be in a place you don't want to be where you could have some health repercussions. And that's what happened to me: some years just a couple of pounds, others 5 pounds as I was dealing with a lot of stuff going on. And now I'm reversing course after a minor, albeit painful health issue. Great wake-up call!
