i was given a 50 percent chance of survival on sunday night----i knew i was not doing well- the amount of specialists and the urgent way things were getting done told me alot
that and the fact a nice lady from the church asked me if there was anyone special from my church that i wanted to come to say some words for me--my wife broke down at that moment--she had just gotten there and thought i just went in for the flu.
the pain was unbearable--your brain swells--thats what causes the headache--headache being an understatement--
they kept me on morphine and a few other things to keep me comfortable--and started hitting me with a mass barage of antibiotics.
they did a spinal tap-fucking hurt like hell--took me upstairs and just continued hitting me with morphine and anti biotics--the headache was getting worse and i could tell by the look on peoples faces that i was indeed in trouble--you can tell alot about people by there actions.
i had a moment were i was very scared [about dieing]-i started to talk to myself--was thinking about my family and came to the conclusion i may not see them again-- i put my faith in god to watch over them and suddenly felt peaceful and more able to focus-- i was able to keep my spirits high after that and stopped feeling sorry for myself--
i was happy to see the boys come in to see me -[littlehouse,nosocks and bigted]-they were not able to stay in there long--
after they left they hit me with another double dose of morphine i fought back the sleep it was trying to put me in. knew i might not wake up from this one but finally let go and closed my eyes--first time i had no dreams in a long time.
then suddenly i was awake and the doc was standing over me--told me i made it [no shit] then told me how close i was of not making it--
as i said he gave me a 50/50 shot -- had i waited like i was going to just one more hour i would have not pulled this one out-- he was very happy that i came in when i did
he was very blunt and to the point which i like--would have liked to known my chances before i went to sleep though--would have like to seen my family in case i did not pull through
but i am here and very happy to be alive--listen to your body everyone!!!! i ignored mine and it almost cost me my life--
this is something i will never forget--i came within a breath of death of not seeing my kids growup, not seeing my wife,not seeing the next sunset,,being a sticky on the boards--yes we will all die someday but i have unfinished things in this life and am not ready to go just yet and just plain thankful that i am alive--
god bless
sincerely

I heard you had Meningitis, but I didn't know how bad, or far along you were.
