Sick Call

[pukingdog]

After reading Socrates187's thread, it occurred to me that maybe we could use a thread to keep track of members dealing with everything from head colds to face transplants. Sound off if you get a chance, or have any news of anyone else here.

I agree 100%, specially when the member has an existing trade / sales with other members.

[Socrates187]

I like the idea, watching over other members when they need it most.

[russcal]

Great idea, PDog!

This will cover both the practical, as Fioski mentioned, and the personnel. There's no medicine as good as knowing someone's got your back... it helps to lessen the load!

I also like the idea.

I"m currently suffering from a bad case of the flu and have a deal pending to the UK with tys1977-- he's already sent me payment and I just need a few days to get better so I can get to the Post Office so I can send his merchandise.

I'm recovering from a traumatic wisdom tooth operation (had all four removed) where one of the teeth extractions led to my gums ripping well into my pallet so I will be out of action for a while.

CGFLTMEDIC (Oscar) is recovering from a bad car accident in November, which left him busted up. Those with outstanding trades, as well as well-wishers can contact him at [email protected]

His Missus is working at getting things lined out, so patience, please.

Oscar, get healed up quick, for some reason we like you here.

[Piranha]

i have had Parkinson's for 11 years and am in stage four. Parkinson's disease strikes people in many different ways. I have had a continuous string of ever changing symptoms as the disease has evolved inside my body.

i have faced the disease positively, doing my best to continue living as much as possible, while doing what is necessary to survive day to day with my disease, but always having a heart that wants to honor God, and delight in life and beauty and goodness. The disease has weakened me physically, mentally, and emotionally. I have found my family and the churches i go to to be extremely supportive in Parkinson's, and have found the doctors and nurses and mental health people and pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to be very compassionate.

I will continue to follow therapy that helps me have a better standard of life. When I am immobile and totally impaired i will be at home recuperating and you won't see me, but i am getting ready for the next round. Whenever my condition allows me i will be out talking with people, enjoying life, and making the most i know of the time i have, as best as i know how, all the while trying to learn more about being a better person.

thank you!

Heya, Rainbow Avenue!

I wish you the best of luck dealing with your illness.

Your faith sounds strong and it looks like you are getting much loving support from those around you... I hope that this makes your journey forward an easier one.

Praying for you,

Russ

So sorry to hear of your condition. Your positive outlook is an example to all. Wishing you well from across the Atlantic.


Andy

[pukingdog]

You're a fine man, Kevin. I am not surprised that you are facing this head-on, and I'm glad that you have good people to support you as you do. You are a big part of what makes this place worthwhile.

Mike

[RainbowAvenue]

thank you guys for the heart warming show of suppport.

[major.rod]

Rainbow, said a prayer for you.

......... ALL things are possible!

[montañes]

RainbowAvenue,

You are an example to follow, it is so good to meet people like you.

My thoughts are with you.

Jaime.

[Steve O.]

Best wishes and more importantly prayers going out to you RA. I'd tell you to stay strong and trust in God, but it sounds as if you're way ahead of me on that score.

Steve

[Davinator65]

I read this and I don't know how to respond. RainbowAvenue has been here way before I started on OSW.
I empathize with you and hope you will have a miracle of some kind. Good luck.

[ActionMan]

Hang tough, RA. With your positive attitude you can never be beaten.

[Casual_Collector]

I'm pretty sure I have salmonella poisoning. I can't sleep due to all the diarrhea and vomiting, will see a doctor as soon as I can.

[russcal]

Keep yourself hydrated Ryan, and good luck!

[Casual_Collector]

Keep yourself hydrated Ryan, and good luck!

I can't. It's coming out both ends every half hour. Anything I drink won't stay down :/ It's been like this for four hours now, no end in sight.

[david_kay]

I can't. It's coming out both ends every half hour. Anything I drink won't stay down :/ It's been like this for four hours now, no end in sight.

well just make sure to keep giving yourself liquids to be getting rid of. dont want you to get dehydrated. thats pretty harsh though man, I hope it clears up as soon as possible.

[pukingdog]

Get your a** to an IC or ER, you do not want to f*ck around with this stuff.

[goaltendah1]

Get electrolytes in your system! Also, PD is right, get to the ER or Critical Care...whatever you can ASAP.

Morning's here and it looks like it's passed O.o. I haven't been making bathroom trips since 6:00.
Very bizarre, but I'm holding down water again.
Also: ER's a big worry only if I start: A) having black spots in my stool, B) blood in my stool or vomit, or C) start feeling light-headed. Either of those is a HUGE cause for concern, otherwise gotta wait it out.
