Popular Post KA CHAVA Kzoo Posted January 27 Popular Post Share #1 Posted January 27 ... from the hospital today. Many of you prayed for him. He was in really bad shape. He spent the last 40 days there. Recap - He is the husband of my niece from Tulsa. Strep infection got into his bloodstream from a torn muscle in his arm while lifting weights. They went out of town for a weekend and he was toughing it out. By the time they got back to town he was unresponsive and she took him directly to the ER. He was weeks in ICU. There was serious lack of oxygen to his legs. Initially they though he would lose both legs and his infected arm. For weeks they had no idea regarding the extent of possible brain damage. He had zero liver function and zero kidney function. It took him weeks to wake up and when he did he didn't recognize anyone. That cleared eventually but he had limited function of his left arm but his liver eventually started working again. Up until last week he was on dialysis. Within the last couple weeks his kidneys started to function and eventually started functioning 100%. His head is clear and he's walking on his own now. He has some PT yet but is at home. Lots of miracles happened in this man's life. 40 days ago, no one though this man would ever walk, or maybe even talk again. 5 15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted January 27 Share #3 Posted January 27 awesome. Have a friend who lost both arms and legs to a sepsis from exzema. A break in the skin allowed infection in and they thought she had flu at first. By the time they caught it, she was in bad shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted January 27 Share #6 Posted January 27 One of my relatives says I get tests or go to the doctor as soon as I have a problem. I told her that's because of previous years of suffering from bad sinuses, a bad ankle, etc. when I toughed it out and it only resulted in having to have a more serious cure than what would have been initially required. Last night, I watched an episode of "Swamp People" on the History Channel where people, mostly in teams of two, were catching 7' to 12' long Burmese Pythons for bounty money in the Florida Everglades - with their bare hands. I guess Florida wants to see they're really alive and not recycled dead ones. One of the guys had been in an accident the year before, spent weeks in a hospital to save his leg, and now it's hurting him big time. Even though doctor's saved his leg, he says, "I don't want to see no doctor," and gets a Native American healer to help him. She rubs some kind of natural balm on his leg and he says he immediately feels much better. Then he goes off in the swamp to catch snakes alone - increasing his chances of getting bit, repeating over and over, "One step at a time," and keeps complaining that the leg hurts with every step. One wonders why the people filming the show don't talk sense into him. Maybe they tried. It's almost like he's willing himself to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parr8hed Posted January 27 Share #7 Posted January 27 Holy shit. That is incredible. I have seen far too many cases like that that had a horrible outcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
