Guest Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Well Boyz N Grrls, tomorow I go for the major blood work and various other tests which will pretty much dictate if I go in the hospital for a couple of weeks for IV drug treatment or the other heavy duty medication which I have been on for the past month and a half. It wont be fun and it may take a few days for test results to come through but wish me luck and maybe I wont go through another November like last years event. If I go in of course, my laptop will be with me. So Wish Me Luck cos this time I may need it. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galianos829 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I hope everything works out for you. If you do have to stay at the hospital, mabey you could suggest to one of the young nurses an alternative therapy of a nice FUR message. Love those nurses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worker 11811 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Eric, All of our Bears have you in their thoughts. With the power of 1000+ Teddy Bears in your corner you can't go wrong! But, there is one thing you must do. You need to have a Bear with you at all times. You can go to a gift shop and get yourself one. It doesn't matter how large or small. It just needs to be a Bear. Think of it like a receiver. My Bears transmit the signal. You need a Bear to receive. You might think this is crazy but, don't laugh! This really works!

Guest Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I can see Eric in a pile of teddy bears and fur coats on his hospital bed with a couple of nurses lost in there too. Good luck mate. 2/1 he gets a nurse in fur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I agree with Worker, The power of bear thought can move mountains, and don't forget there's Bernadette here Wilhelmina Ramsbottom, little Tryxie and flat Sooty all helping. Everyone should have a bear, I give them as birthday and humbugfest pressies or just happy gifts. Someone get Eric a bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worker 11811 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 ...don't forget there's Bernadette here Wilhelmina Ramsbottom, little Tryxie and flat Sooty all helping. I said "1000+ Teddy Bears", Tryxie. That was supposed to include the thousand that live with me, PLUS the ones that live with you. At the beginning of my message, I started out saying, "All of our Bears... ." Then, at the end, I said, "My Bears... ." I should have said, "Think of it like a receiver. All of our Bears transmit the signal. You need a Bear to receive." I'm sitting here, looking at a whole bunch of Bears shaking their paws at me for making such a silly grammatical mistake. The power of bear thought can move mountains... How true! "Bear Power" actually helped a friend of mine pull through chemotherapy when she was diagnosed with leukemia! 8) PS for Tryxie: Say "Hello!" to Bernadette, Wilhelmina Ramsbottom, little Tryxie and flat Sooty from the Bear's Den, here in Pennsyltucky, USA!

Im still tired though. Thanks again to all and maybe I wont have to be stuck in to clear this blood infection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worker 11811 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 We're happy things are turning out OK for you! It's also nice to know that there are lots of Bear People lurking in The Den! There has been lots of research about the power of positive thinking. Although, the theories on "Distant Intercessory Prayer" have mostly been debunked, it is still true that one's attitude is critical in helping them through difficult medical situations. Research has shown that people in hospital burn wards who visualize themselves in "cold" environments fare much better than those who don't. Kids with leukemia who play video games where they "kill" the cancer cells recover much faster than those who don't. It's a person's attitude, going in, that has the greatest effect on the final outcome. Even if you're not a true believer in Bear Power, you must admit that Teddy Bears are a great visualization tool to help you maintian that positive attitude. So, don't be afraid to use them when you need it. At the very least, they'll make you feel better as you go through your ordeal, no matter what the final outcome. Send a furry "Hello!" to your Bears, too, Eric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Well Im still waiitng on the test results and even though I have the MRSA in me Im still very worried. Once it enters the blood stream, its like a bomb and when it goes off BOOM! After last nov, when i went in with a 99.8 fever then two hours later it shot up to 106 then i crashed in ICU with a complete case of sepsis. Whats so scarey about that is how fast it hit me and that fear is still in me and my DR,S. So until the results come back, im on pins and needles but keeping a positive look on it all.

Guest Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Yesterday I got my test results back and they are not good. I still have that dangerous MRSA in me and Im on some new medication and if that doesnt kill it off then Its a hospital stay and I hope I can get a few girls with fur trimed nurses outfits. The bad thing about this new medciation is It can cause many possible side effects and I will have to watch out for that. Its going to be a rough and insane two weeks for moi. * the yellow eyes and yellow skin side efefct sounds like that could be a real winner* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Sorry to hear that! If you weren't so damn far away... and too far south for my tastes, I'd try to get the furry nurse gear together... but it'll have to be a pleasant thought for now. Maybe I can do some pics along those lines here though? I'll try! I'll be thinking of you Eric and hoping you do very well, and quicker than you could have imagined.

Unclejoe420 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Sorry to hear you're not over it completely yet, Eric. But once you do get this MRSA licked, I owe you a beer, ok? All i got to do is figure out a way to sneak it into your hospital.. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for ya, man Unclejoe PS Theresa being your furry nurse? You lucky devil!!

Guest Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Thanks Miss T & Joe. And Joe, Im working on trying to string a bottle of scotch into an iv for my next hospital trip. That will be fun if I can swing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrBrGr Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Im working on trying to string a bottle of scotch into an iv for my next hospital trip. That will be fun if I can swing that. Although there's no protocol that lists scotch with Zyvox and Vancomycin as a viable treatment for MRSA, my guess is that after that first bottle (preferably Dewars or Crown Royal) your stay at the "horsepital" would be a helluva lot more pleasant! And with that . . . From all of us here in the Den, Our prayers are with you, brother, We've said it before, and we'll say it again: You're gonna lick this mother!
