Two feathers health issues

[Stever]

Dave
Thoughts and prayers headed your and Mrs, Feathers way. As far as patience I'm in the same category, don't have much.
Enjoy the day, Steve

While in the midst of all these maladies it is hard to be at all positive. Once through the worst of it, I found that I could look at the struggles as a period of "unanticipated adventures." As for the positive side, I don't need tattoos. My body already is decorated with long scars on my chest and back. It's a bit like being drafted into the Army. You don't ask to be put in that situation, but once you are, you fight like mad to make it through. Please get well soon.

Update:
Well folks....things didn't go that great. I'm as sick now as I was before the "procedure?"
The Dr.s drained 1400cc's of fluid from around my Left lung, unfortunately it doesn't seem to have helped much? I'm still sick to my stomach, short of breath and coughing like I have a respiratory disease, but my chest X-rays say I don't.
I have another "followup" in a month if I survive and don't cough myself to death before that? They put me on another pill? They think this water pill might help stop the build up of any additional fluid? In a month they'll know.
I'm sorry to be such a whiner. I had hoped to be back to my old self and working for my customers again, long before this?
I WAS released to drive, but now I have no interest in driving.

I'm so sorry to hear of your illness, prayers for you!

Thanks Ron;

Tn poor boy:
Thank you my friend!!!
I've been working on a few minor projects this morning in an effort to get ready to try coming back. I drove yesterday for about 15 minutes, but hated it, I got really exhausted.
I have to go dye some bags.
Thank you for your prayers. I'm proud to call you MY friend as well. Maybe we can do some business if I can ever get back to working?
God bless:

Hey folks:
I still have a few small issues, BUT it looks like my Dr.s are saying it's OK for me to work again, so here goes.
I'm starting off slow, but I'll be listing a ball starter shortly.
Thanks for all y'all's prayers and support during my health scare. You folks are the greatest people in the world!! Thank you to the admins and mods. as well, for their patience.
God bless:
Dave Two Feathers is back at least for now.

Howdy folks:
A quick and somewhat depressing update?
It appears I may be slipping backwards? I'm having trouble breathing again and if I walk a few feet I need a nap.:~(((
I was doing great for the past 2 or 3 weeks. I have another followup at the end of June. I fear there may be more fluid. I'm sure not looking forward to that 5" long needle trough my back again.
I'm doing some work, but it about kills me to get to my shop and do it. Once I'm done I don't have the energy to leave.
I'll try to update y'all as things progress, thanks for your prayers and concern.
God bless:
Two Feathers

Don’t press yourself. Right now you need to take care of you. All your friends here are pulling for you and you’re in my prayers. Do what you have to do to heal.

You need to pace yourself until the doctor can have another look at you. The good thing about accoutrements is that they don’t spoil. They’ll be fine on your work bench until you feel up to working on them again. Prayers for the best.

I WAS released to drive, but now I have no interest in driving. I was told I could return to work BUT..... Mrs. Two Feathers says I should hold off on that for another week. She's afraid of me being in my shop alone, I think I'm fine? I did manage to get 5 ball bags ready to dye and finish while working on our dining room table, so at least I'm ahead of the game there.
Well folks, I think that's about it? NOT the news I had hoped to give y'all. I'll try to keep you updated the best that I can. Once I'm back to work or things improve greatly,, I'll let y'all know.

TDM: Thank you my friend.
I agree, but it's hard to stay away from the shop, when my friends need things.

Young athlete people often push themselves beyond what they thought possible and become stronger as a result. Us older folks that try to push like that end up broken and we are slow to recover if we ever do. Please my friend, listen to your body it is telling you to back off and heal.

Stub:
Thank you buddy. Something is definitely "Broken." I'm told I should feel a lot better than I do? I guess we'll find out in a month?
My biggest fear (right now) is ending up back in the Geisinger. If I work over 15 minutes I need a nap. If I try to take a deep breath it feels like a door slammed in my lungs and no air can go in? I can't walk more than 20 feet before I have to stop and catch my breath. I'm sure there's more fluid. It feels just like it did before they drained my chest cavity.
Thank you for our concern.
God bless:
Dave Two Feathers
