Falling Apart!

[clayton86]

I'm 26 and falling apart lol. Listened to many of you here had my abdominal pain checked out and was rushed in to have my gallbladder yanked. A week later I'm sitting back in the hospital just been admitted because I'm urinating blood puking up bile and the whites of my eyes match yellow road signs.

So in 26 years iv never been sick or been to the hospital always been healthy. Now within a week iv been admitted twice one resulting in surgery and who knows whats going to come of this visit.

Iv had the worst of luck this past year between the health problems, cheating wife, said wife spending 50,000 dollars over the past year leaving me not only alone but broke as well, oh I crashed the 20,000 dollar truck she bought in my name the first night home also. There's more just can't remember it but bad things def come in more then 3s lol. Oh well poop happens lol.

One thing about all of this is that you seem to still have a positive attitude.

 

I can't begin tell you how much I admire you for having such.

 

You will get through this and things are going to get better over time, however, it sounds as if your surgery did not go as planned, I hope you get well soon, it does not sound good at all.

 

Thoughts and prayers brother !!!!

[clayton86]

Yeah my attitude has been good I take everything as one big joke kinda so it helps. I find silver lining in everything. In the hospital = cute nurse, divorce = possible dates with said cute nurses lol, ex spent my money and cheated = she has to answer for it one day and will probably do this with every guy and will never find happiness. It's all good though it smells like death here iv got 50years easy on the next youngest person here admitted anyways.

Bad things happen to good people and it sucks. I hate that you have had a rough year and that your health isnt great. But its important that you keep your head up, have faith, and continue to be a strong example for your children even though it may feel like your world is falling apart. Prayers for you bro.

[flippin and pitchin]

It could be worse Clayton..........you could have bought a Shimano. I love to stir up the crap. Seriously, PM me with your address and I am going to send you a get well gift, no joke.

I bought a shimano once lol I'm an Abu guy but I couldent pass up a BNIB citica for $40.

I gotta come up with a new prank to play on people this time lol I just told the nurse who came for my vitals I left her a present in the bathroom for her....a cup full of bloody pee she replied she loves it lol.

Mom just droped off my laptop to time to watch movies or fall asleep this bed is kinda comfy.

[Marty]

Clayton, best wishes for a quick recovery and a long stretch of good health.

now there's something you hear said too much about hospital beds.

 

nothing will get you farther, happier or help you live longer than the ability to laugh at yourself. in other words you should live to a ripe old age of 150 clayton 

[Raider Nation Fisher]

We are praying for ya homie. Keep on keeping strong.

Clayton, best wishes for a quick recovery and a long stretch of good health.

It's the lack of chicken wings in my system lol they told me no more. Chicken wings are my favorite food with a good thick burger in very close second. No gall no fried foods so no chicken wings I think hearing no chicken wings hurt more then hearing my wife has been cheating on me and blew all my money lol I love my chicken wings.

[slonezp]

I make some killer garlic wings. You know it's a good wing if it smells as good going out as it did going in.

[clayton86]

Sounds good maybe in a few months I can eat wings again I used to eat 40-50 wings a sitting my best was 66 in one sitting back in 2006 hooters in Hartford Connecticut to win a flatscreen tv for my dorm lol. Now I usually limit myself around 40 either country sweet if it's local or hot, Arizona ranch(Quaker steak and lube) or some other flavor with a bite.

I just watched How Its Made and they featured bacon.

You need some bacon, too.

And don't fry it. Bake it in the oven between 225° and 275°. The bacon won't shrink like it would when frying.

Dang, that sucks. Maybe you're having some sort of a reaction to the surgery?

 

Here's a great prank that has NEVER failed if they hook you up to an electrocardiogram  (EKG)machine.

 

You will know what it is when they start hooking you up if you've never seen one before. Basicaly it's a computer with about 6 wires. They stick the wires to your chest and legs. They then turn the machine on and the computer will print out a strip of paper with a bunch of squigly lines. Completly painless and takes about 5 seconds.

 

Here's what you do,.

 

Let the nurse put the wires on you. Keep an eye on her and watch as she goes to the computer to input data. (Timing is everything) As soon as she starts to type in the data, start flailing around and say "OMG, you're shocking me!" I guarantee she freaks out thinking you are being electrocuted, which is absolutely impossible for this machine to do you, that's why you have to make it look real.

The look on her face is going to be priceless as she tries to shut the machine off and and figures out what she should do before she realizes it's impossible to get electrocuted from the machine. I usually just give her a blank stare and say "GOTCHA" and then wink/smile.

 

One of two things will happen. The nurse will either laugh along with you and think you're a sick female dog or she will get extremly PO'd and walk out of the room.

 

I've done this prank about 5 times and it works like a charm. MOST nurses laugh along with you after they regain their composer. That being said, I had one nurse forget to laugh. She actually cursed me and stormed out of the room like a wet cat. Another nurse came in and darn near kicked me out of the office, which I didn't care.

Give it some time and you'll be able to eat what you want again.

Keep your head up bro, when things can't get any worse they can only get better. I'm about to be 26 in 2 weeks I hope I don't fall apart too. Lol

You got them Doug !!! By the way that lemmon pudding you got with lunch was vanilla. They gotcha.

[Glenn]

Dang man, something went wrong with the surgery no doubt.  Something seriously went wrong.  I'm sorry to hear that, and I hope they get it right asap.

 

As for your ex - been there done that (been cheated on).  So have many of my friends.  Best advice I have for you is to don't let it harden you.  Soon you'll discover that what she did opened up the opportunity of finding the true, right person for you.  Somebody you would've never found had you not gone through that.  Hard to believe right now, I know.  But it will make sense to you someday.

[Bluebasser86]

Hope you get better man. Always seems like bad things always happen all at once like that. I'm sure they'll get you fixed up. I'm just 26 myself (I believe we discussed the odd coincidence of us having the same first name and being the same age before) and I had to spend most of the night in the hospital one night this summer. I had an agonizing pain in my head that wouldn't go away and threw up until had nothing left to do and just started dry heaving so hard I was choking and making my head hurt even worse. Thank God for whatever they started running into me through that IV. Spent the next week disoriented and confused. Had a hard time putting sentences together and understanding what people were talking about even discussing the simplest things. I got lost driving to my friends house and if it hadn't been for my wife being in the truck with me I would have had to call to ask for directions to a place I've been hundreds of times. Doctors said it was a combined Aura migraine and rapid firing cluster migraines on top of each other that caused it. I take medication for the Aura migraines and I get them a couple times a week without them but never had anything like that. It's not a good feeling to go from never even getting sick to being that sick and not knowing why.

Sometimes we cannot control events happening in our lives, health and accident issues can pop up anytime regardless of how well we look after ourselves.  That you just have to deal with and make the best, luckily coming out of the service you have the VA.

 

We have much more control over relationships and finances, each are replaceable commodities, at 26 you have time on your side.

Did you go on antibiotics following the surgery?  If so, be sure they check you for an allergic reaction to it.

 

Our daughter had major surgery in late September.  We stayed there to help out for the month of October.  She was cleared by her doc to return to normal activities so we returned home.  A couple of weeks after we left, she developed an ingrown nail on her big toe and the doc put her on an antibiotic.  She went downhill from there.  Within a few days, she was back in the hospital with dangerously low blood levels of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.  She also had bone marrow depression.  It was a life threatening situation.

 

Because of the problems with her blood, she was close to bleeding internally.  They took her off all meds, and discovered that she had developed an allergy to sulfa drugs.  She had taken sulfa drugs before with no ill effects.  Go figure.

 

When it started, she felt lousy, really lousy.  Once she got the sulfa out of her system she bounced back quickly.  Within two or three days, she was feeling fine, but her energy level wasn't up to snuff.  We took another trip to GA, to help out at the end of November, and returned home a week later.

[clayton86]

Just got back from the hida scan(sp???) waiting to see the surgeon and results from that. They think I might have a gallstone still blocking the common bile duct. They had me on antibiotics when I was in the hospital but when I left just vicoden for pain. Hopefullythey get me out soon I feel fine I'm wondering if maybe I just ate something bad Sunday night but then again that doesn't explain the jaundice and peeing blood both of which are gone now.

All my best to you clayton. You'll get thru your health issues in no time, I wish you the speediest recovery. As far as your personal life, it will be tough at first, especially since you have kids, but I think you have a great outlook on it and again, I hope for nothing but the best for you.
