Three years ago today....

[WCGreen]

I started my long climb out of a coma...

I woke up in the hospital ICU with a Trach, a feeding tube in my stomach, attached to all sorts of monitors and all the other things that get attached to you when you are in a coma for a few weeks...

Let's just say I was a little groggy and that the drugs they were pumping into me, Morphine and Adavant, were responsible for more hallucinations than at a Timothy Leary tune in drop out party...

[Droopy]

1. Wow. Why were you in a coma?

Do you remember any dreams that you had while you were out?

[WCGreen]

3. Oh yea..... I remember a lot of them....

I developed a nasty pneumonia that quickly turned into a case of what they call an Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome...

2. Holy cow. The contraptions alone would have finished me.

'Way to go, WCGreen.

:toast:

4. I thought, for a while there, that they were pumping that Korean

Cabbage stuff, the stuff they bury for a month and then eat, into my stomach...

I remember telling one of the nurses that was nasty to me, or rather croaking at her, that Dennis Kucinich was a Friend of mine and she had better watch her step...

5. I'm going to save that one, just in case.

:hug:

6. Three years ago today?

Ah......how your life has changed since then....

I remember taking care of folks who had been in a coma like yours......

It was always a crapshoot as to whether they would live or die.....

The razor's edge...

Welcome home, Chris.........
