DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Just to catch everyone up

For everyone that remembers back in January of this year I came extremely close to passing. My wife told me it was less than an hour. Well since then I think I have went thru every test to man.

Now besides what put me in ICU (a hole in my stomach) that put me septic in less than an hour it took a 1hr ride to UTMC and then 5 hrs to stabilize to go to surgery.

Anyways tomorrow I go for I hope are my last test for the year. More lung test to make sure the blood clots are gone, and test on the legs for blood flow.

This means I will have been checked from head to toe and we still have no answer's. One thing did come up. My aortic aneurysm has went from 4.4-4.6 but my adominal stayed at 4.4. Ya my heart's good but above or below can get me. Anyways just a catch-up.

Glad you're doing well. Keep us posted.

That's the thing Punch my blood work came back terrible. I had NO c no b12 no folic acid no copper and extremely low on all the other vitamin's.

My Dr thinks when I went septic it jump started everything. My balance my blood. We are at the point to figure out what to do. I will say I thought the B12 shots would be the worse because I have to give myself an injection every 3 days. Nope the c pill is the worse. It starts desolving as soon as it your tongue. Taste terrible. Anyways it is what it is.

Good luck Nordawg!

That’s tough nor.

From what I’ve read of your past posts, I doubt you were the least bit worried. Perhaps for your wife, but not yourself.

I hope you get to have a decent amount of enjoyment during your remaining time alive.

Maybe it will be years?

Thanks for sharing that.

Some stranger in Rocky Hill, CT.

Rock my wife is my rock. She knew that although she was talking to me I wasn't there for 3 days. I didn't remember anything.

Now don't get me wrong I will fight to get as far as I can. I just hate using a cane on my good days and a walker on my bad

Good luck Bro. Hope everything works out for you.

Hang in there, bro. You've been through a lot and that makes me sad. I can also find joy in your strength and determination.

You were--and continue to be--one of my all-time favorite posters.

Ty bro I hope someday to meet you.

Prayers and positive thoughts to you NorDawg! Glad your family is there for you.

Good luck & prayers to you.

Get well. Best of luck with the last test and, again, get well!

I'm praying for you bud.

We are all pulling for you, Nor.

Work it as hard as you can.

We got your back and DEEP LOVE.

best of luck nordawg ... hope you are well

We obviously have never met, and don't really know each other, but good luck, Nor. Praying for you.

Keeping you in my prayers bro. We both have to stay healthy enough to have lunch again. I still owe you one

Glad that things are looking up.
While knowing the what and why of what was is nice and good, knowing the what and why of how to move forward in health is the only thing that is important.

Here's to hoping for nothing but good for ya moving forward!!

Good to hear it's getting better for you Nor. Stay tough. Keep posting.

A triple A is scary.. Had one and it's a SOB. Best wishes to you.

We sure do Bro

Ok the test today were lung x-rays then a nuclear scan of the lungs, then a sconagram of the arteries in both legs.

I will say it did go quickly only took about 1 1/2 hrs.

Could you become a super hero getting nuke scanned like that?

I don't know but my spider sense is tingling

Ok for some reason they what a vitamin E count. I just don't know what is going on. I will keep you in the loop. My legs are starting to come back. I know my vitamins were bad.

Ya today I had vitamin E and copper drawn. Hell I've been on copper pills for 3 months, because of how low it and my B12 was. Right now I have a B12 shot every 3 days until the middle of January.

nor,

I'm curious. Why B-12 shots?

Why not B-12 tablets?

I'm assuming there are vitamin B-12 pills.

Yes there are B12 pills, but the shots are more constrated and with the shots going into the muscle it works faster and and is more efficient. Really the shots aren't that bad.

Now the vitamin c sucks. They start to desolve as soon as they touch your tongue and taste terrible.

My thoughts and prayers are with you sir!

I had a scare with my mom this year, and right after that I was admitted for 11 days. They didn't have a clue as to what was wrong for the longest time. The worst part is not knowing. I was lucky that it was able to get under control, but it was a crazy 11 days for me and my family, on top of months with my mom after that. From April until June I practically lived at the hospital.

Sorry, wasn't trying to hi-jack your post, just wanted to say I know where you are sort off. It sucks. Hang in there.

Well on January 17th I have to go to the Parkinson's clinic at UTMC. After researching everything for the last year my system' s said it is Parkinson's hopefully not, but I still have to hope for the best..

So sorry will. Best wishes for you.

Tell them to prove it or to STFU

I was told by a hospital years ago that I had MS. I told them they were Freaking nuts. Guess what I was right.

Hope so bro

Willy sir was my dad my name is Bob.

GM they weren't saying I had Parkinson's, but trying to eliminate it. I would like to know.

Rock I have never been worried about my wife. But my daughter and 3 son's and 11 grandkids. She was so pissed I posted this.i never wanted to insenuate I had Parkinson's it's another test.

We sure do Bro maybe we can get some of the posters from the first board all together. At this time my wife said I can travel. I could pick you up and meet.
