Life Update
Well it has been some time since I've posted to my blog. A lot has happened in my life since my last post. I hope to get back to the radio soon and start posting my finds. But for those that are wondering where I've been here's what's happened.
In January I went to visit a friend in Washington, I was to be gone only 3 weeks. Well on the 25th three days before I was to come home, I got sick with a fever of 103.8 my friend took my to the emergency room, they admitted me. The next day I went into respiratory failure. They intubated me and air lifted my to Providence hospital in Everett, Wa. I had gotten sick with the H1N1 virus (Swine Flu) and had double pneumonia. The put me in an induced coma and i remained in critical and unstable condition for just a few days short of one month. I was on a rotary bed, because of the pneumonia, and because of the great amount of fluid in my lungs the pressure from the ventilator ruptured my right lung. They told my parents that I had less than 5% chance to live and it was minute by minute.
Then end of February I began improving and the transported my to Kindred hospital in Seattle. I remained in ICU for 2 weeks then on to a private room. Then end of March I was taken to a rehabilitation facility and worked on getting my strength and endurance up. I left that place the middle of April. I was not able to fly back home (because I had had a punctured lung the dr thought it best I didn't fly) My friend I had gone to visit was moving back here to Michigan. So earlier this month we made the 4 day drive home.
I'm glad I'm alive, I had so many people praying for me. Everyone says I'm a walking miracle. I'm working on getting my strength back and my lungs working properly. They say it may take up to a year to get back to normal, but they also say my lungs my never quite get back to normal. But I'm alive and I'm thankful.
When I got home I turned on my computer, and the only thing that was running was the fan, well I took it in and long story short I have a new computer (motherboard crapped out). I've spent the last couple days re-installing my shortwave software. I think I've got all the programs set up and ready to go. I'll have to take my old hard drive in and get my databases off it.
I will say I've missed you guys on IRC but I'll be on there in the next few days.
