Pneumonia

[ThomasGrant]

Ok, I am back.
I got a very, very sever case of Pneumonia
link:://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumonia

They even put me ICU (Intensive Care Unit) for over 6 days.
Just so that I could breath.

That's how bad it was.
Over 90% in left lung.
And over 45% in the right.

Very bad case.
It was touch and go there for a day or so.

But I was extremely fortunate.
I had the right care.
The right Doctors.
Just everything was on my side.
Again, I was extremely fortunate.
I don't smoke.
Don't drink much.
So all that helped.
Plus my age.
Helped me pull through.

I had a lot of prayers said for me.
Buy family and friends.
And I truly thank them all for that.

I feel so much better.
So much more alive than before.

Thanks to divine.
I get to stick around a little longer.

All there is.
Is now.

And can breath.

Oh thomas,
         It must have been very painful for you. Take care of yourself because you are very precious for all of us.

No, not painful as such.
Just difficult to breath.
So much better now.

Not to sure about the Only the good die young bit.
If that where strictly true.
That would mean that all the old buggers are a bunch of lying nasties.

Septicemia

URL of this page: link:://:.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001355.htm

Septicemia is the presence of bacteria in the blood (bacteremiabacteremia) and is often associated with severe infections.

CausesCauses
Septicemia is a serious, life-threatening infection that gets worse very quickly. It can arise from infections throughout the body, including infections in the lungs, abdomen, and urinary tract. It may come before or at the same time as infections of the bone (osteomyelitisosteomyelitis), central nervous system (meningitismeningitis), heart (endocarditisendocarditis), or other tissues.

SymptomsSymptoms
Septicemia can begin with spiking fevers, chills, rapid breathing, and rapid heart rate. The person looks very ill.

The symptoms rapidly progress to shock with fever or decreased body temperature (hypothermia), falling blood pressure, confusion or other changes in mental status, and blood clotting problems that lead to a specific type of red spots on the skin (petechiaepetechiae and ecchymosis).

There may be decreased or no urine outputdecreased or no urine output.



NOT A NICE EXPERIANCE AT ALL ....

THESE THINGS ARE SENT TO TRY/TEST US .... 

[The_Force]

Boy you weren't kidding when you said you felt "under the weather" last time.

Good to have you back!

[F_LAT_INO]

Here is a prescription for a healthy and long life;

--If you smoke.........don't stop
--If you don't drink.....start pumping your body with a strength...one small each morning
  for blood circulation.
--If you playing on line....go play land-live casino.
--If you have a younger wife/20 years/....stay every night in casino/alone/
--If you find she is not home after your return.....don't ask her where she was.
--If you don't use OLIVE OIL in every food you eat,then you can expect as you
have experienced.
--1/2 lt. of good red wine after each meal.
--afternoon sleep.
--swimming/in the sea/ even in the winter time.

That song lyric actually means that innocence, spirit, passion, etc, live forever... that whenever a good person dies, who he/she is never really ages.

Thanks to all, for your kind words and wishes.

I am feeling so much better.
