I thought I'd say hello to those who remember me. Hello!
With only a spoon it took a long time to dig my way outI never believed you were dead. Just encarcerated in Old's basement.
Go gilogo for spoon?With only a spoon it took a long time to dig my way out
I thought I'd say hello to those who remember me. Hello!
Well... Interesting. I think I mentioned years ago I had a heart attack. That progressed to the point where my cardiologist said, in essence, to go home and get comfortable, it wouldn't be too long. My wife wasn't having any of it, and we saw the other cardiologist who said to get to the hospital NOW. So we went, and I was immediately admitted. I was in ICU for 8 months, had multiple strokes, and developed a stage 4 sacral pressure wound where one could see the bones of my coccyx that caused pain as one can imagine. Then I aspirated and burned my lungs so bad I was put on a machine that bypassed my lungs, and I was in a coma for three weeks. Being in bed for so long, my esophagus remodeled, so I can never eat anything again. I have a permanent G-tube and am fed three times a day with a nutritional liquid supplement. I went from 230 to 110 lbs. That's part of it, the major bits.Hey Hayabusa, I knew you were around because recently (several months ago), I saw you had logged in.
It's good to hear your voice, so to speak.
How are things with you?

Today I'm 163 lbs and have something called an LVAD which does most of the work of the left ventricle. I can walk a couple hundred yards, and for anything longer, I have this nifty mobility scooter. I can even drive! In fact, I'm leaving the Rochester NY area for the Catskills and my wife will be the passenger. Not bad considering.
I just want to say this isn't a pity party inducer but a brief summary of what's been happening to clear up any questions at once.
So how's things with you?
Oh, my gall bladder crapped out too. LOL
Through his ass? Figured that was pretty pliable by now.With only a spoon it took a long time to dig my way out
Uh-huh yep that is indeed one way to put it. But glad to hear about the weight getting back up and that you're headed out to the CatskillsWell... Interesting
