Spiel Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 I just want to update you all. Last night I was having some real bad lung pains. The blood I am coughing up seems to be worst and the pain is so bad T3 arent even touching my pain. Ask for something stronger Chris, T3's are highly over rated as a pain med IMHO.
fishnsled Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Ask for something stronger Chris, T3's are highly over rated as a pain med IMHO. X2 There has to be something they can give you to keep you comfortable. I'd be asking the doctor today what the plans are if you feel things are getting worst and when they are planning on doing something about it. Squeaky wheel.... It certainly sucks that you have the flu on top of this, but you'll be fine. I'll keep a spot open in the boat for ya as well. Pm me when you are feeling up for it and we'll make something happen. Speedy recovery!
Live2fish85 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Posted January 10, 2012 Thanks guys. I did getting somethibg stronger but even it doesn't last very long. I had a lung specailist come see me and she sent me for a CT so it should be to long before I figure this crap all out. I an sure happy I am in here now and the nurse I have today is so hot and actually listened to me. Took me telling 3 nurses the pain was so bad before they helped me. I don't know how some nurses have jobs still. I am in idolation and I have nurses come in with out aprons on and they don't clean there hands properly nothing kinda makes you wonder.
aplumma Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 You can ask someone who visits to get a few bottles of hand sanitizer to keep in your room. It should help keeping the bugs down. Keep the faith and get well soon. Art
Live2fish85 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Posted January 10, 2012 Thank Art. As for the hand sanitizer there is lots of them around. I have one in my room and one in the hallway outside my room plus every ten feet there is another.
mercman Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Thank Art. As for the hand sanitizer there is lots of them around. I have one in my room and one in the hallway outside my room plus every ten feet there is another. That stuffs pretty good mixed with ginger ale too !!!!! JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I sure hope you feel better soon Chris !!!
Live2fish85 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Posted January 10, 2012 Well another quick update. They just got the results back to me and the pain is due to the blood and my ling is scaring they said I may have only 95% of ny lung function but they said it won't effect me. Also said that I should be able to play hockey and all the sports again. So that is the best news I have heard in a while. I am also getting taking off the blood thinners to stop the bleeding but I will be in here for another week at least and the pain will last a few more days but they are keeping me on the narcotics they have me on.

All sounds very encouraging Chris. Get out of Iso and I'll come back for a proper visit!
Live2fish85 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Posted January 16, 2012 Hey there all a quick update. Well I have been takin off the blood thinners finally and the blood had slowed down. I do still cough up some but not nearly as bad as I had it before. The pain in the lungs is not nearly as bad as it was for a few days there and I have stopped taking all the morphine and other pain meds. So in a sense it looks like things maybe turning around. I only need to get good enough in the docs eyes to get out. I have been in here for 12 days straight now and out of the last 20 days I have spent 17 of them in here lol. Not that I am complaining as people have it much worst. I also finally got to see my daughter yesterday which was the first time in awhile and all I can say was it was much needed nothing like getting that big hug and kiss from the most important thing in your life.
Skipper D Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Well you wont get a hug and a kiss from me , but i am glad things are moving ahead a bit for you .
lew Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Good news to hear your feeling better and I'll bet seeing your daughter after awhile had alot to do with it !!
solopaddler Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Very glad to hear you had a visit from your daughter Chris! Now work on getting yourself out of there. Regarding our conversation last week, I have something waiting for you when you do get out. Sometime in March when the rivers break up we'll get you out steelheading. Cheers
Live2fish85 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Posted January 16, 2012 Thanks Ron and I am glad theres no kiss from you lol. The though are much appreciated though. Lew you are a 100% right. She is just 2 and she ran in with a big smile and giggle. It sure made me feel great.
mercman Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Nice to hear Chris !!! No one loves us like our kids, eh? Plus a bonus trip with Mike is really something to look forward to!!!! Keep on healing my friend!!!
Live2fish85 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Posted January 16, 2012 Thanks Paul you got that right. Kids are the best thing that is forsure.
spincast Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 Good to hear you're on the road to recovery man. One more benefit for you and your lungs - by the time you get out of there you will have kicked the smoking habit. The trip with Solo will be a sweet way to bring in the new soft water season Take care and get better soon -
Roy Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 Hang tight, Chris. Do what the docs tell you to do and in no time you'll be out enjoying quality time with your daughter then that fantastic first fishing outing with her. Stay well.
Skipper D Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 Ok every one , i think he's ready for some hospital jokes...............
Live2fish85 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Thanks guys. You have all made it all that much better while being in here. I finally got the best news yet and they are going to let me go today. I still have a long road to recovery and I will be back in a couple weeks for more test and CT scans and xrays but they think I will be better off at home with less chance of getting something. Plus a load of stress off. I can't wait to be able to sit on my couch and watch tv and to sleep in ny own big comfy bed but more then anything to see my daughter everyday and to give her a kiss goodnight again. I don't know how people can stay for so long in here I feel the pain I have been here two weeks straight and the only way I have got through is from my family and friebds being here all the time they could and also you folks here. Thank you to all who came and visited I truely appreciate it. Now I need to work hard to be ready for my steelhead trip with solo. That is a goal for me lol. Thanks a ton guys and gals. Chris Edited January 17, 2012 by Live2fish85
lew Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 Great news Chris, just don't overdo anything and do exactly what the doc tells you to do.
