Recent illness
« on: July 21, 2015, 03:48:17 AM »
I've been laying low for five weeks cause I had an unexpected illness.  I ended up in the hospital with an abscess on my liver back in mid June.  No warning, no one can figure out how it happened.  It was the size of my hand when finally detected.  The only clue was a fever for ten days and pain in my gut.  If untreated in time, they are 100% fatal.  So, after eight days in the hospital and being sent home with three drains coming out of my liver I'm finally feeling better.   The drains are out now and I have two more weeks of mega antibiotics to go.  Most of the time I was on morphine or oxycodon and out of it.   So, posting would have been an adventure in delirium.  I'm off everything now for a week and feel great, just a bit weak.  Going to practice with the guys tonight for the first time in six weeks!  All is good.
