Home Sweet Home

[Silverheart80]

[TimmehC]

Best news we've heard all week.

[Trill Clinton]

Welcome back, bruh

[Refocus]

Glad to hear you're back and feeling better!

[Mugen]

Welcome back, glad you're doing well timvp!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

good job Timvp and welcome home

[smeagol]

I have been in and out of ST so I missed the whole thing . . . what happened to you?

[timvp]

Also, just wondering what exactly did you pick up to cause all of this

I'll have to look up the name of the bacteria but the docs said it's extremely rare. Like there are only a few cases in medical literature. The bacteria was susceptible to penicillin but I had so much of it in my body by the time I went to the hospital, it took a long time to finally knock it out.

But yeah basically it was a huge fluke to get the bacteria in my body. And then it created a softball size abscess in my liver that had to be drained. Along the way I also got a bad case of pneumonia (which was also infected by the bacteria) ... plus it messed with my system so much that I got anemia and diabetes. I had to get five blood transfusions and they were shooting huge amounts of insulin in me to control my blood sugar. My heart rate kept going from like 140 all the way up to 180. Oh, and I had fevers everyday of at least 103.

The doctors really have no explanation on how I got sick in the first place. I guess it was just bad luck and I randomly came down with some ancient bacterial disease.

Thankfully now everything is a lot better. I just gotta pray for no setbacks and I should be good before too long.

Ya, I have no doubt you will bounce back but that is crazy how fast things progressed. Rest up and let the body heal itself man...

[SpursWoman]

Ha, sorry about that. I was scared for a while ... til they told me I was going to die. That just pissed me off

But yeah, I feel fine now. Since late Saturday I've gotten better at a fast rate. I gotta believe it's due to all those who were praying for me. I'm beyond thankful

We were just Believing. IMO :coldbeer

[Taco]

[MarCowMar]

Good to see you back man. I'm surprised they didn't have you on a Vancomycin drip at some point. I looked up the bacteria a couple nights ago and there really is hardly anything on it. I told Kori I brought in a patient a few years back with similar symptoms (ended up having an abscess on the liver as well), but it was from E. Coli.

Rest up bro, and you probably heard this from the Doc ad nauseum, but lay off booze for awhile (not sure if you even drink anyway)...even though the Spurs FO will likely make you want some.

Welcome back.

Consider yourself really lucky timvp. If the bacteria that infected you was not known, then of course it's pathology is not well known either. Thankfully, the fact that it is not common also points to the fact that the bacteria was not resistant to penicillin (which lots of types of bacteria have become increasingly resistant to). Random things like this affect people everyday and not many come out of their ordeal alive.

You should get a lot of rest before doing anything. Your body just went through a brutal war, and you made it out alive, lucky guy .

[Ginobili2Duncan]

Great to see you are doing better.

[FromWayDowntown]

If Manu > Ditka, does this mean timvp > Manu?

Welcome back, timvp. Continued best wishes for a speedy return to complete health. I'm very happy for you and your family.

[koriwhat]

[Crazymaddopeyo]

Welcome back, man! So glad to hear you're better!

[Ace]

Awesome you're better, even better for the kids.

[clambake]

ancient disease? you been swimming in the nile?

[Libri]

Thanks again and now it's time to start catching up on Spurs trade drama

Welcome back!

Just to let you know, Spurstalk has lately become troll heaven.

[Dex]

Glad to see you back in the saddle, timvp. This place just wouldn't be the same without ya (nor would the world).

Now...I'm still waiting for Game 6 Game Thoughts.
