millertime24 8 #102 June 19, 2009 So glad I got to see you this afternoon man. For anyone who's interested Spot still has that sense of humor. Keep the best wishes stuff coming. They mean a lot to him. As an aside, after looking at his x-rays I think they put him back togeather with parts from Home Depot.Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

millertime24 8 #104 June 19, 2009 He didnt move very much while I was there, however, we did transfere him from his bed to a bed with a traction bar on it. Of course while we were moving him he made a comment about having it so good to have 7 pretty women touching him. Good thing I wasnt drinking anything when he said that.

millertime24 8 #106 June 19, 2009 probably not. Good to see he can still laugh although it causes him pain. Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

millertime24 8 #108 June 19, 2009 True. I hate seeing my friends in pain.....and since I dont have many friends its a little harder. At least he's recovering. Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,122 #117 June 20, 2009 Heal fast, Spot -- I hope the stop back in ICU is short. Those doors do swing both ways. The guy helping you in your picture is really, really watching you carefully -- that's a good sign. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

parachutist 1 #120 June 20, 2009 Quote Quote Confirmed. He's in the ICU. Heal well my friend. Keep us posted, okay? Spot, if you get a chance to read this, we're all thinking of you and wanting you to heal fast. You'll make it back. Good news about the trip to ICU: Doctors were following up several days after Spot's surgery to check for risk of infection. Results came back as low risk, and he was sent back to a separate facility for recuperation and physical therapy. My schedule has been pretty busy the last few days, so I've only been able to visit Spot once every couple days. Every time I do see Spot, I'm amazed by how mobile he is compared to last time I saw him. Last night Spot was trying to get comfortable in bed and I was pleasantly surprised to watch him easily roll over on his side, back onto his back, sit up on his own, etc. Three days ago I watched him attempt similar maneuvers unsuccessfully and with quite a bit of pain. The progression seems fast to me, but of course Spot wants 100% tomorrow, so he feels like it's taking forever Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 3 #124 June 21, 2009 the ICU sequel (like most sequels) wasn't as dramatic as the original vist was. Blood clots and monstrous hematoma on my butt (think of it as a third butt cheek) all are not good things...So I needed to go back in because the mix of bad stuff" wasn't quite tasty. Then I became very tired, frustrated, and decided to leave the ICU on my own. Didn't fly so well....But now back in rehab, and actually had my first shower on a chair, so I guess it'll all be good. Now if I could get my groin to not look like a scene from "hellboy" I'd probably be a little happier. Thanks again for the amazing support, gang! edit-Hey Krip, here's a photo for you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
