Thank You, SpursTalk

[biba]

K and you are this forum Heart and Soul.
Last year many felt the emptiness on this board.
You're back and better than ever.
We all enjoy SpursTalk again.

Life is easy.
And family everything.

[Spurtacus]

I'm glad you and your family are well. I can't imagine what you and Kori went through. I haven't been to a doctor in about 15 years myself (I'm 29 right now). Perhaps I should now.

To the Spurstalk posters that helped you in your fight...you guys are great.

[mikekim]

I've gotten a few private messages asking for a health update so I figured a thread was in order. Besides, I owe the SpursTalk community a thank you.

For those of you not around in the offseason, my summer months were quite eventful. Long story a little bit shorter:

...

Glad you're doing well though. I was wondering what was going on with you and the family.

[Admidave50]

Amazing story! A big thank you to Kori and you for running this awesome site, I can access to it everywhere I go in Europe and Asia and I'm really addicted to it. It feels great to be a part of this community of intelligent and passionate Spurs fans!

i feel horrible for not finding out until now. im not a doctor just a nurse but if something like this ever happens again you let me know ill send you my number my mother is also a head nurse at the nix hospital icu and ill be emailing you after the game with some things ive learned to keep me away from the doc im sorry you had to encounter such a heartless physician sad to say but it happens more than people would like to know. glad to hear you found the reason why this all happened . there is a God

[weebo]

With these three waiting at home, there was no way you weren't coming back...

Enough of this "if I get sick again" business. You need to be here for a long time...these babies need you.

[SequSpur]

Giving up is never an option.

[thispego]

Glad you made it brah. When Kori told us about it we were shocked but knew you had it in you to pull through. Wish I was closer to SA so I could have offered more than positive thoughts. Let me know if you or the family need anything, brother. You and Kori are two of the good ones

[yagozev]

After reading your post, I was thinking about those terrible weeks you lived.

The ability you had to find peace even at the time, while continuing to fight for your health and how you consider now what are the really important things in life, clearly demonstrates the kind of person that you are ... which is not very common today!

And even in these confused times in which we live, down the road, the good people always get good things for others, starting with your loved ones.

Even without knowing you, I congratulate you for having been able to get ahead. And as we say in Argentina: "lo que no te mata, te hace más fuerte!"

Go, TimVP, Go!!!

Live life to the fullest LJ.

[silverblackfan]

Pretty amazing story. Very glad to hear you are doing better now.
Good to hear the SpursTalk support was in full effect and it was really nice of you to let us all know what really happened.

[tmtcsc]

Wow, what a story.

Prayer is powerful. I've seen it for myself. It's not about getting what you ask for but rather for the peace and strength to accept whatever the outcome.

I'm glad you're still with us and enjoy reading your posts.

[ohmwrecker]

I'm so glad you made it through that horrible ordeal and came back to the world at peace and with a greater sense of purpose. Your stuff is really the only thing I read on here anymore. I look forward to your game grades when I miss a game. I know it's.a small thing in the grand scheme, but thank you for what you do. I appreciate it.

[Solid D]

LJ, You've been through such an amazing and painful journey! Thank you for taking the time to give us an extremely well-written and emotional account of the events over the past several months. I also prayed for you after Kori let us know what had been going on. As I have been reading every word of your story, the emotion wells up. I truly believe that God answered prayers for you. No question here.

I'm sure most people here who have been reading your story have gained an extra dose of inner strength. I pray that you will completely regain your physical strength and that no further issues arise. You and Kori are a real blessing and great examples for all of us!

May God bless you and your family!

[manufan10]

Glad to hear you're doing better.

So, who plays timvp in the Lifetime or Hallmark movie?

[manufan10]

Oh and to everyone that helped out and sent prayers/good vibes.

And a to Kori and timvp for their strength. Your family will continue to be in my prayers.

[Giuseppe]

So, who plays timvp in the Lifetime or Hallmark movie?

Michael Beach will play Tim.
Amanda Seyfried will play Kori.
Kool will play himself as the family friend.
I'll play the hospital ogre. "I don't feel well." - "Tim" --- "Kobe: 5, Duncan: 4" - "The hospital ogre"
You can be the gopher, 10.

It'll be led: "Spured to Heal"

[Manu-of-steel]

What an amazing story. For all posters here, life would never be the same without timvp. Glad you made it, timvp.

Nurses are better than most doctors when communicating with patients. Empathy is stressed more in the study of nursing compared to medicine. Majority of doctors focus more on signs/symptoms, laboratory results, drugs and some fail to focus on what the patient feels regarding his condition..

[Yorae]

Compared to Timvp, I'm a wimp. The first time my hypokalemia hit me, I thought I was going to die....

[Meta]

Sometimes when things aren't going well, just sticking it out is what matters. I also think a lot of people were rooting for you.

[Manu-of-steel]

Compared to Timvp, I'm a wimp. The first time my hypokalemia hit me, I thought I was going to die....

No, you're not a wimp. Hypokalemia kills rapidly if not treated properly. It's a sudden dean death, though. Death from dysrhytmia and sudden cardiac arrest.

[Blackjack]

Crazy...

Heard/saw that things had taken a turn for the worse but didn't really know it had gotten that bad. Just glad to hear you're doin well and those kids and Kori are stuck with you for a while.

All the best to you and yours. And thanks for keepin me up to date on my Spurs - nice to have a pretty like-minded fan relayin all the ins and outs when you're unable to watch.

You and Kori done good with this forum ... keep on keepin on, my man. Enjoy it.

[MB3//]

Wow.

Thanks so much for posting this! It really inspired me and built up my faith, and I know many others on here feel the same way.

I'm a firm believer in prayer, and I also believe that God has something special planned for you. This is a powerful story of determination, perseverance, faith, and healing.

Man I'm pumped after reading that!

Thanks again for posting.

God bless you, Kori, and the kids.

[MI21]

Mate, that is some story.

Absolutely amazed you and Kori made it through everything. Shows some real character!

When I holiday to SA to watch me some Spurs, I'll fix the doctor up - it's ok, I'll be leaving the country shortly after and we are all convicts down here already anyway!
