Hi Eric,
Sorry to read
Hi Eric,
Sorry to read that you are in the hospital. It's nice that you got to meet Craig though. Heal quickly, hugs to you, Audrey.

So anxious to hear
all the skinny on you from Craig, now.....
Seriously, hope that you are doing what you are supposed to be doing and not overdoing!
You are such an upbeat guy, I just know you and Craig had a great visit. It would be so neat to get to meet lots of folks that we communicate with on this board, wouldn't it? Heal quick!

Ways to Amuse Myself
Thanks for all the wonderful posts. I am still in the hospital wasting time on the computer, staring at the wall, and of course the clock. I am going to have to stir things up around here. I am going to start screaming obscenities every five minutes and talk about the people who are out to get me. I`m going to say that the voices in my head are telling me that the nurses are evil.

Hmmm!
Well, that'll get you moved to the psych floor which may indeed be more interesting! Seriously, I hope you're on the mend and outta there soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Blood Clots SUCK
I just got out of ICU (8 days) for a pulmonary embolism. It was so comforting (said sarcastically) when the ER Doctor told me how lucky I was because they typically only find pulmonary embolisms during autopsies! To all of you, listen to your pain, I could hardly roll over in bed and it was excruciating to cough so I waddled on over to my ER. I'm now on Fragmin for life (injection in the stomach of a blood thinner). Hang in there Eric, you'll be out before you know it and back to your own bed and a full nights sleep without a zillion nurse wake-up calls!

What you are going through. It was great to read that Craig came to visit you. I am still amazed by the kindess of people here. I hope you get better soon. How fun to have room service though. I hope it is as good as Phil's.

BUMMER!
Bummer, Eric! I just got back from out of town & saw your post here. Praying that clot clears up & never comes back, and that you get out of that joint SOON!

hi
Hi Eric,

Just read all your posts here today (I couldn't sign on yesterday at all- did anyone else have that trouble? I just got a weird popup that I've never seen before on my computer- something about "cannot display- too many users online"- weird.

Anyhow, have you found any amusing nurses yet, or a way to pass your time better? I hope you're feeling alright now! When do you think they'll let you out (for real)?

Take care and hang in there-
Lisa

Wow - You were lucky. God must be looking out for you. It just goes to show you - People don`t go until it is their time to go. I`m glad you are feeling better and thanks for the post.

I know when I was in for those 3 times due to chemo issues
I didn't have my laptop with me
but I did watch the HGTV 24/7
it was pure delight

I`m out
Craig is a freak. I am never text messaging or talking to him again. I`m kidding. Craig is as good a guy as he seems to be. I enjoyed the visit and hopefully there will be more. One of these days we may be able to go out like normal people and not meet at a hospital.

The Skinny
Well we finally got to meet the other day. An impromptu meeting of the North Texas Semis;

And the skinny is - Eric is a good guy too. We got to talk about a good many things - Cancer and Life and football...and I can vouch for the hospital food too - Eric did not reach for it when it got there...can't blame him...I was tempted to see what was under the lid but thought better of it

More skinny - Eric has one terrific Mom - she's a sweetheart I told Eric he better keep her, or I'll take her for my own! Really very nice woman...we were going to leave but she said she was enjoying the visit so much that we just stayed - a heart as big as Texas and Eric, from talking to her, she has not had an easy life - I see in her future good times coming to the both of you - ya'll deserve it.

I brought Kim with me and she and his mom got along instantly and we talked and talked till it was time to go.

Life is an amazing thing when we open our hearts and our eyes to the possibilities and try and live our lives by doing the right thing. I was in a position to support Eric and by doing so, got to meet him and his wonderful mom...a really nice visit in a hospital...the door swung open and we all walked through and look what happened - AMAZING

The Board has been an incredible place to meet people in person and virtually - I'm constantly amazed by the love here and the sweet things that we do to help each other get through this thing. A world that just a few months ago, I did not know...oh what a difference a day makes, huh Gang?

So, all is well for Eric - he's all that AND a bag of chips.

They told me for sure they are letting me out tomorrow. They are sending me home with a shot I have to give myself. $317.00 co-pay for the medicine. OUCH!!! I guess it`s better than waiting around for a stroke or pulmonary embolism.
