If I didn't know you better, I'd say that you are pulling our legs.... but
as that doctors told you.. you are so lucky..... And 5 days, that has got
to be some medical record. When you get stronger, make sure you go out
and buy a lotto ticket.
Best Wishes

Hi Ron,
How did you stand it for five days. Didn't you have a high fever? Mine was
105 and I lived in a nursing home in 1977 and my family had to call the
doctor, when they saw my temperature as the nursing home did nothing. They
had to treat the infection before I had to go back to the hospital a number of
weeks later and have the appendix and gallbladder removed. They put me on
a cooling mattress and I was so cold..
It sounds like you were lucky to survive. Why would they wash it and put
it back in. I have never heard of. Have any of our fellow cohorts heard of
this? That seems strange. Can anyone explain why this was done. . They did
not remove the the appendix.. When I had the surgery they wanted to put me on
the ventilator, but I refused and lived. Then in later years, they
required me to sign papers with the hospital lawyers to agree to ventilation
and I
seemed to always end up with a tracheostomy after surgery.
I just went to the urologist after having my second sonic waves
lithotripsy. The urologist doesn't think it got the stones ends that I might
have to
have surgery, but to wait three months and then decide about surgery for
more sonic waves with lithotripsy. KUB was not clear in his office. He hopes
that the radiologist see the kidneys better with their powerful five
screens.
My bladder is now colonized Has this ever happened to any of you? I had
pseudomonas in my lungs and tracheostomy and had to be on IV for a number of
weeks a number years ago. They use the same terminology colonized in this
situation colonized in my tracheostomy.
