    Well for a hospital it's ok......but it's not like our GAMEDAY food here!  😆

  • Get well soon my friend. What a roller coaster you've been on for a long time now. You're lucky you didn't die in 2015 from the pneumonia and kidney infection. I had pneumonia once that did not respond to original anti-biotic, so they put me in the hospital on IV Orithromycin when I told them if they didn't I would likely be dead the next day. That was after a week of 103-104 fever and sleeping sitting up while coming up choking/coughing with dreams of drowning there was so much fluid in the lungs. I told my wife that I now had a pretty good idea what the end of life will be like. That's as close as I want to ever get until then. Sounds like you've been through a whole lot worse.

  • Had a 103.2 temperature last May.  Never went to the doctor.   Thankfully got better.  Just the chills, body aches and extremely tired.  Didn't eat for 4 days.  Forced a lot of water down my throat.  And slept as much as possible.

  • Quick update -  been in two hospitals over 3 weeks of tests, xrays, ct scans and  TONS of IVs.

    Now in #3 for about 5 weeks about 1 mile from my house......I'M BEAT!  Will email later!

    And besides my regular P/T team are back today Angie and Kelly.

  • I have a wife who erroneously claims 5'1". No way Jose. But she can swing a mean broom. Her All East Coast in baseball dad taught her how to hit, so I keep a safe distance. LOL!?

  • take good care brother

  • SATURDAY APRIL 27 UPDATE

    Well the ID (Infectious disease) doctor updated me this weel, I was on 3 really bad azz IV meds that is now cut down to ONE scheduled to run through May 24.

    That has really kicked my butt, hardly ever online for anything. Monday I see the surgeon should get the GO to get stronger and get outta here, 25 days in and counting down.

    See you all again soon. GO BROWNS!

  • Thank goodness my wife is here to guide things along.

    They have some interesting plumbing here including this one below my right elbow.

    Part of my PICC line setup to keep large amounts of nasty stuff running quickly and safely throughout your plumbing. It's all quite harmless really......
