That would be terrifying. Hard to believe a doctor could be so callous in explaining a dire/possibly hopeless situation to a patient.
Sounds like quite an ordeal. So glad to hear that such a scary situation had a happy ending, and as others have said, it's great to have you back, timvp.

Truly an amazing story. Glad you made it through everything.
Glad to read that you're better now. Heard about you being sick this past Summer but I wasn't around much to understand the extent; can't believe it was that serious! Hope it's all clear sailing from here on out for you, Kori, and the kids.
Thanks but no thanks. We're still above water despite the bills so I'm not going to accept money. Mix in a few decent posts and that'll be payment enough.U sure you learn to put your pride aside ?You're not the first person to say that.
Seriously though we are all enjoying a free forum/website with no ads. You are actually paying for people all around the world can enjoy read nice stuff about their spurs.
It would be more than logical that we can contribute.
Though I've never met either timvp or Kori in person, the familial atmosphere that has existed here for so long makes you both feel like friends. I'm relieved, for my friends, that this harrowing story has had such an upbeat ending for both of you and for your family.
It certainly puts EVERYTHING in perspective.
Many blessings to all of you.
glad to hear you're back and ok timvp
A nurse explained to me that he's nicknamed the angel of death because he gets off on telling people bad news. Plus since uninsured patients who end up in ICU never actually end up paying their bills, he feels that gives him reason enough to treat 'em like trash.
At first, my instincts were to hunt him down to let him know what I think about him. But then I realized the best thing to do would be to pay him the total amount due right when I got home so that he'd have second thoughts about treating someone else like that.
What a mesmerizing story. I realize it's a journal but reading it actually caused bits of trepidation even though I obviously knew how it would end.
You are an incredible writer.
So great that you pulled through this horrendous illness. Thank you for sharing your story. It will make all of us count our blessings.
that's some scary stuff. i'm glad you pulled through.
Being an avid Spurs fan, I was astonished to realize there was a website like this that existed for Spurs fans...I dont post here much but hearing your story is truly amazing and am thankful to hear you are doing much better. Keep the faith and just know that GOD always has a plan for us...Many would be surprised by the power of prayer! Its good to hear your in the clear from such a life-threatening illness. God Bless from one Christian to another..
Great to hear you are healthy again.
Lots of us prayed and had no clue if it would work out and wanted to honor your privacy so didn't ask any more questions.
But I'm with E-N on this one...let others help if you will. Contact via p.m. if necessary. Your children need you and I'm glad you are there for them.
That is really all that is important.
But stay strong, nonetheless...and occasionally ease up on your post game grades, huh? LOL!
Take care.
I feel I would hunt him down to punch him tbh... but the way you are dealing with that is much clever... negative energy never helps anybody.
What a wonderful story, feels like the theme to the film 50/50.
I can't even begin to imagine going through something like that, and it is such a relief that everything worked out in the end.
It's great to have you back buddy, and I hope you enjoy the next 30 years as much as you did the past 30.
Holy crap man! of a story LJ. Really glad you're alright man.
Great read..its scary to think how quickly your life can change.
People truly don't know what they have until its gone. I too believe the human mind can overcome a lot. Although I don't know you personally, I'm glad to hear that you back in good health, and good spirits.
To everyone here in good health, thank God, thank whoever you want, just be thankful for another day. It seems like people around me are all getting ill, I wonder when its gonna be ME with the bad news to share with someone else. So today, im thankful.
And in a less Osteen moment, that chicken doctor who thinks its cool to declare you dead before you were ready. I understand doctors have a tough job, but if your gonna die, why not share that with the immediate family and keep the patient positive? Some dunb doctor told our family we were gonna lose our lived one due to "out of control gangrene and liver failure", they were sending in the priests and the people who determine a burial, or cremation, two weeks later my boy's got a whole in his groin the size of balled up fist, but other than that, he's never been BETTER!
Anyways, good to hear the good news Tim, and glad to see you back posting regularly!
I rather send money, tbh...Mix in a few decent posts and that'll be payment enough.
Seriously, don't be afraid of tapping the wealth of the unemployed/lazy Spurstalk posters. If not now, in the future.
Incredibly moving and inspirational...
Good to have you healthy and great to see a family remain together.
So glad to hear about your recovery. should really consider letting us SpursTalkers contribute and pitch in as a way to say thank you for all the hard work!
timvp, thank YOU. for everything. I truly feel inspired by the story and I'm thankful that you're sharing it with us. Every opportunity not to take life for granted is humbling for the rest of us too.
ST is like family and in some way, you're kind of like the grandfather keeping it close and together! The Spurs are not the same without you that is for sure, and I also am a believer in collective prayer.
Very happy that you're close to be back 100% I hope when you do, these new awesome threads happening nowadays don't stop coming!
all the best from south america for you and your family!
Good to hear you're doing better Sir and I'll gladly help if there's a fundraiser to pay the bills
Prayer is Powerful. God is Good. God Bless
idem for the employed/active spurstalk postersI rather send money, tbh...

Glad to hear you're doing so well.
