In the big scheme of things....

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

That's one of the nice things about prayer, people are unable to refuse it. I'll still be praying as well, for physical as well as emotional healing. Going through what you are experiencing it has to be a terrible burden on both .

[Big Gills]

I will always pray for you Elnut cuz I do compare you to Job cuz you have had so many bad things happen to you. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for you. I dont know for sure but it just may be a test so you have to fight even harder now to have faith and pray to God and Jesus for strength and support to get thru this difficult time. You are a fighter and a strong man. I know that and never met you. God knows you are strong too. Hope things go better for this surgery. I really hope your law suit is a huge big one so you and the wife can go cruising together for your retirement. jmo

You got to get better if you want to cash in on a fishing trip with me and UK dont even have to make it for that to happen. Be strong bud and hang in there.

[Moveon]

I can't imagine how much you have been though. But there is a saying that you should remember. When the going gets tough.. the tough go fishing. Heres to a successful operation and recovery. Keep your chin up buddy. Nobody cares more about you than yourself. Don't let yourself down.

Surgery this afternoon. This SUXSSSS!!!

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.

I am well aware of the differences between MRSA and Psuedomonas. I want to help you save your breath and time. God doesn't answer prayers that are prayed out of hostility or anger against another person. We are supposed to forgive our enemies so He will answer our prayers. He's not mean like humans and will NEVER give your illness to another person.

Now stop talking naughty and concentrate on getting well. You have a loving family waiting for you at home.

Died on operating table for almost a minute resuscitated by my surgical team. Clot the size of a baseball removed and sent off for analysis. Been passing blood
out of drain tube and backside for 3 days now. Surgeon took drain tube out today and I have packed it twice so far to date. PM me your phone number and I will send some gross pictures of my incision and what is coming out. Changing antibiotics now and pain meds next. Another procedure on Monday, no set date to be released yet

No way bud. I pay my debts. It won't be a penny, it will be 2,500 of them. Who says I know any good spots on Dale to catch a Brownfish?
