In the big scheme of things....

Nothing matters. Not UK, Not Louisville, Not fishing , NOT A **** THING!!!!

Been here at UK Hospital since 6pm last night with an Abcess the size of your fist on my left abdominal area. Exact same place the Abcess appeared in Dec 2010 that forced me airlifted out of Celina TN and not let John and myself defend our Billy Westmoreland Title. Funny thing is John and I was to leave Wed morning for 5 days at Ky and Barkley. Not now. I get to spend quality time with my surgeon for surgery #31 and miss a trip I been looking forward to for months. I didn't want to go fishing anyways.

I am so pissed right now that I can't see straight. To HELL with it all. I don't want any prayers because prayer is nothing but a huge azz waste of time. There is no God, there is no Devil, there is no Heaven and there is no Hell. You live, die, put in box and that's that. I am sick and tired of trying to do right, be a good husband, good father and grandfather. Sick and tired of the 4 freakin walls at UK Hospital. Doctors nurses surgeons needles and bullcrap. I for one will be glad when its over. Let somebody else deal with what I deal with on a daily basis. Anybody else would have slit their wrist, while tied to a train track covered in gasoline and striking a match. Plain and simple LIFE ***** and I am tired of it.

FOR SALE: ALL FISHING EQUIPTMENT, BOAT AND EVERYTHING. GET SCREWED OUT OF FISHING DUE TO HEALTH SO MIGHT AS WELL GET RID OF IT ALL!!!!

Elnut, when I read this. my heart is touched. and without any bad intentions in what I'm going to say. only that some strait talk may in some way help you. first I will continue to pray for you, don't let the Devil use your sickness to cheat you out of Heaven. the bitterness in your words, remind me of the story of Job in the bible. God himself said Job was blameless and upright, Job suffered because he was among the best, not because he is the worst. God let the Devil try Jobs faith, and man did he ever. Job was stricken with boils from his head to his toes, so bad that his closest friends didn't know who he was when they saw him, he was a wealthy man and lost everything. he had 7 sons and 3 Daughters and they everyone died, this all took such a toll on Jobs wife, that she told Job to cruse God and die, and he said to her. you speak as a foolish woman, not like a wife. and after all he had gone through, he got on his knees and prayed to God, saying the Lord God gave and the Lord has taken away. in Gods own time he answered Jobs prayers, and restored his health and every thing else, even gave him more sons and Daughters. if you think you have it worse than everyone else, think again. pray to God and trust he will answer in his own time, you still have your wife and kids, and when your friends look at you they know you are Elnut.

Surgery this afternoon. This SUXSSSS!!!

[elnutsmalljaws]

MRSA / PSEUDOMONEOUS Staph Infection, Internal Bleeding, passing Blood and Abcess pocket the size of your fist. My surgeon has his work cut out for himself in the morning

[Tyme2fish]

I realize you said you didn't want us to but I'll still be praying for you.

Best wishes, my friend.

[Dave Stewart]

And I am giving up a prayer for you here also this morning....and for your wife and family.

I don't mean to offend you but would like to ask, 'WHAT HAVE YOU GIVEN TO GOD?' He doesn't require a wad of cash in order for you to talk to Him and ask for help. He freely and joyfully forgives all sins, heals all sickness and disease. If He notices when a small sparrow falls, how much more He cares for you.

You are not the only one suffering with MRSA although you probably feel like you are. My niece wrecked her motorcycle in Jacksonville, FL and broke both arms and received other injuries. She has MRSA in one of her arms and has already had
18 surgeries and still isn't doing great. If you won't pray for yourself, pray for her. Someone mentioned Job to you. God told him to pray for the men who were persecuting him. He prayed, God forgave them, healed Job and gave him twice as much as he had before he was tested. May you be healed and overloaded with blessings.

I don't always agree with Bassin' Bug and Waterdog but I do here.

I also know it's easy for me to say as I sit here in my chair in perfect health.

MRSA and PSEUDOMONAS are not the same infection. Pseudomonas is far more severe than MRSA and not as common. I just happen to be lucky enough to have them both right now.

"What have I given to God", not a **** thing but evidentially that was enough because I died on the operating table for 30 seconds earlier today and if not for the surgeons resuscitating me, a pine box was my permanent resting place. Did God save me, the Devil or the surgical team? Not sure, but knew when I posted the original post I would get hammered for saying what I said. It is no different for me to say there is no God, no Devil as it is for others to say there is a God and Devil. I am not the only one suffering with a staph infection, but 31 surgeries and 736 days in the hospital, and counting, sure does feel like I am/have been suffering more than most. Instead of praying for others to get better I would pray to take my illness and give it to someone else that's not a friend or family member and see how they deal with it for a while.

Bunch of independent cusses here we are going to pray for you
