Praise God, I'm finally home! Thank you all so much for your prayers and support every single one was, and still is, much needed. I've had my close calls before, but this one had me scared, for a bit. I initially went to the hospital with an abscess, and ended up in emergency surgery due to necrotic (dead) tissue and infection. The surgeon told my mom that he removed between 5 and 8 lbs. of tissue
and that I was pretty much lucky to be alive. Don't get me wrong, I never doubted God and his ability to pull me through, but post surgery I literally thought I was dying. I assume they brought me out of anesthesia too fast, and my lungs wouldn't work. They only thing I remember is they were telling me to breath, but my lungs were paralyzed. I pushed the oxygen mask away and tried to tell them I couldn't breath, however with no air in my lungs, I couldn't say anything. Needless to say that FREAKED me out! The next thing I knew I was in post op, still struggling for air, but at least I was breathing. It's already been posted, but after that my kidneys decided to take a short vacation and shut down on me. Thanks to God and the prayers of my good friends, both local and on this forum, I've pulled through. I still have to wear a wound vac for about 8 weeks, but considering the possibilities, I'm a very blessed man.
I won't bother to use the "allergy" excuse, I freely admit that when I began reading this post my eyes welled with tears. I can't tell you what it means to know that there are good people out there that care and support you when you need it. I pray that God will bless each and every one of you at least as much as you have blessed me. Thank you all and know that you have my prayers if they are ever needed. Now I just need to lose the extra hardware and get to the range.
