I have just learned that the reason Ted has been absent from the forums is because he has been extremely ill for the last several months.
I won't elaborate on his illness but i think it would be nice if we could PM him with some words of encouragement and well wishes...

I had an infection in my left foot which got seriously bad and the left side of my foot and the last two toes were amputated! to top it off i was really Anemic at the time also with a Hemoglobin count of 6.5 when it should be above 15! before the amputation could happen i recieved four units of Blood ,whick took about eight hours or so to put in my veins, a very slow process! A week and a half recovering in bed after the surgery,i was up some with a physical therapist walking with a walker some in the Hospital hallway.my fever then shot up to 102,103 and 104!i could not eat then,they did a culture of the wound and did a bone scan of my whole lower left leg from the knee on down!.......BAD NEWS for ME,i had a new killer infection which i recieved in the Hospital and the GODDAMN infection was called PSEUDAMONUS !!!!!!!!!!!! My Orthopedic Doctor came in with the results and said"Ted you have a really severe infection now,it has eaten up the bones in your left foot and is starting up your lower leg now. I`ll have to amputate below the knee to save your life. This infection is notorious and can and will infect your blood vessels too and then infect your organs and Kill you!"..................I just simply said "Let`s go for it" I wanted to save my life! if this infection gets in the bone as it was Antibiotics will not kill it,Amputation is what will happen,big time! No one Antibiotic can kill or control PSEUDAMONUS if you get it in your body other than bone or blood vessels! If you get it elsewhere they will use a powerful antibiotic and a less powerful one also to combat this deadly Infection! TED.....aka.....cole_blooded ;D  |
