A Florida man living in Indonesia is fighting for his life after
he plunged 33 feet off a rooftop while chasing a monkey that had
snatched his favorite Pittsburgh Steelers cap, according to a
report out Saturday.

Jeff "Swede" Swedenhjelm, 40, reportedly was diagnosed with
severe spinal damage by hospital officials in Bali, and is
paralyzed from the chest down.

"Our utmost concern is to get Swede out of Bali and into a
country with a spinal specialist" such as Singapore, his
daughter, college student Lyric Swedenhjelm, told Northwest
Florida Daily News.

His daughter also said her dad is in a medically-induced coma
and on a ventilator.

The family has started raising money through GoFundMe to cover
the estimated costs of the travel and medical care, which Lyric
said could amount to $60,000.

She added that her father moved to Bali years ago and has
neither money nor medical insurance.

Their fundraising effort has already pulled in over $58,000. It
depicts Swedenhjelm at the hospital and includes quotes
attributed to him:

"A few nights ago, in Bali, I had an accident that has crippled
me from the chest down, and has only allowed me to feel a
tingling sensation in hands and arms. Obviously this is going to
incur a great deal of medical expenses."

The message adds, "I am hopeful that the time we shared on this
wonderful planet has given me enough love and respect in your
heart to make you want to help. I have never been the one to ask
for help, especially in monetary form, but any help will be
taken to heart. Thank you all in advance. One Love. <3 Swede."

What was it that Red on "That 70s Show" used to say????????

"Dumb A$$"

A $60,000 hat. Hahahahaha! Looks like the Swede missed a few
rungs on Darwin's ladder.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

He’s 40...has a college age daughter...moved to Bali years ago
and doesn’t have money or medical insurance.

Sounds suspiciously like he skipped out on child support and
being a responsible adult. Hard to feel sorry for such
stupidity.
