If you are going to take a vacation....wouldn't it be cheaper to stay in a motel???? Only kidding. Egads man, what a heck of month for you. I hope that you get back to operating 100% asap. If your Doc recommends drinking fluids, may I suggest 12 packs of Rolling Rock on sale at 7.49?????  |  IP: Logged Harry Robinson Expert Film Handler Posts: 155 From: Franklin Tennessee Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-25-2006 07:47 PM                     Glad to hear you're feeling better.

My mother once died for six minutes before she was revived, and I don't go a day without letting her know what she means to me. Bruce, keep the heart beat going, and don't try skipping out on us! Ciao and good luck man!  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-01-2006 04:06 AM                        So you've been edited, replacing your colon with a semicolon?

I spent a total of 3 weeks in there, including a week in intensive care. OMG, Bruce!!! That's terrible! Sorry to hear you've been in such a bad way, I had no idea. I'm glad to hear you're better now, though. You still doin' okay, my friend?  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 02-06-2006 11:03 AM                     I'm going through some intense therapy to get my strength back. I lost 35 pounds, and am now at 140 lbs. I ve been eating Sonic strawberry shakes to help me gain some weight. I tried that "Weight Gain" powder in milk from the health food store, but all it did was make me want to vomit. I cant drive my truck, yet, but expect to very soon. I'm being well-taken care by my mom, an old nurse. I am staying out at their house until I came come back home. I lost my job at the theatre for now, but God love him, my boss told me that as soon as I get better, come ond down and I will have a job there again. Also lost my medical insurance, and thankfully am going to get Social Security, and Medicaid. I lucky for all this. Im refinancing my house to use some of the $100,000 dollar value to live on. My brilliant sister is handling all the bank crap for me. I will post more as I learn more. Thank you all for caring, as you are all family.

I am sure you will get better soon.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-07-2006 02:17 AM                        You can ramp up pretty quickly with PT, just don't let it burn your attitude out. "Quickly" may mean a few months as opposed to losing years, but you can tell the difference. Inventory your progress every month or so & if it's diminishing, go back to the therapist or find another that's interested in getting the job done as opposed to just saying that the standard regimen was followed. Hang in there.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-07-2006 04:06 AM                     Very sorry to hear what you've been going through Bruce. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. By the way, if you are trying to gain weight, don't forget about uber-fattening Krispy Kreme donuts!  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-08-2006 10:48 AM                        Holy tamoly, Bruce....when you do it, you REALLY do it BIG. Glad you are coming along, bro. Of course, nothing like making a guy who's had double pneumonia and who's died a few times feel better than telling him that he's also lost his health insurance....the blood-sucking insurance company scum. The upside is that you have your own mum taking care of you....most excellent. Here's hoping you mend good as new. And keep us posted on your progress. Looks like this story will have a happy ending. Now about this sepsis thing. Oh this is just great....something ELSE for me to worry about.  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA...

When I was out, I kept seeing a bright ceiling fixture, and hearing someone say GET UP GET UP GET UP. I was thrashing around on the bed som much that I was restrained  |  IP: Logged
