So, first let me say that I want to thank Jimmy (JGBronc) for the thoughtful post https://classicbroncos.com/forums/threads/fellow-member-in-need-of-prayers-updated-2-9.314206/
last week regarding my medical emergency and ongoing condition. Jimmy, you have always been a great guy and friend to many here on CB.com, but to me you were especially kind!
So, here is an update from the horse's mouth:
In the last 10 days, I have been to the ER twice, admitted to the hospital and kept in an isolation room on the ICU floor for five days with a bloodstream infection that turned to an abscess. And on top of all that, I contracted a serious germ (MRSA) and couldn't be near anyone. The nurses and doctors had to suit up to come in and treat me. Too say the least, I’ve been in a tight spot. When they asked about a living will directive and asked if I wanted to talk to minister, I became really concerned. With the grace of God and friends like all of you pulling for me, I am well on the road to recovery! I got home a couple of nights ago and am resting. Things look good from here out so I am truly thankful. My father died from a similar bloodstream infection from a cut that turned septic and I was terrified mine would lead to his fate. He was only a few years older than I am and left too early in my opinion.
Needless to say, I had a lot of time to think about life, family and of course Broncos. As I recover, can’t wait to work on mine. I don't have a drivable one right now (I am close as I just have a few items to tackle) but hope to soon. I may come to Super Celebration Bronco-less, but I will be there as it is one of my favorite places to be as I get to see so many of you and tons of EBs!
If you want to see photos (I didn't want to post without asking as they are a little scary), I would love to post how a pimple/little bump on my neck turned into a life-threatening situation..... seriously, just ask and I will post
Thank you again to each of you for your well wishes and prayers! God is good!
