Fantastic Steve!!!! We'll keep the prayers coming your way for that 100%.

I'll start to countdown to the day you tell us that  and  are on the menu.

Jim  

thats great news!!!

Bob, Jack and Greg, thankyou.

I am being discharged sometime in the morning. I passed my last test and will be leaving after a 12 day stay. I'm feeling great, at least as great as one could feel after all that has happened. Now onto a life of improvement physically, spiritually and emotionally. 

Thank you for all your support you guys are Da Bomb. Now I need to get back to the bench.

Steve

That truly is a great update.

Here's to daily improvement, Steve.

Steve, this is right on. 

Good to  know the operation went very well and you are doing way better - continued success!

regards,

Jack

Steve, Tojo, Chad, Andy, GM, Gam, Bruce, Greg, Thank you.

The tube is out!!! I was going to order pizza for my first meal but decided against it since my stomach hadn't seen food in 10 days. So I ordered soup and salad aannnd some Angle Food cake as a treat.

The physical therapist was very pleased with my progress and had said that I was doing VERY well. I did 15 sit and stands off the couch along with 2 laps around the floor. Something that 2 weeks ago would have had me on the floor in panic with 10 liters of O2 per minute from my big home concentrator. I was barley breathing hard, the only limitation were my week legs.

In a sea of bad news, it sure warms the heart to see something good happen.

It sure does.

Sure great to see you smiling, Steve.

MC, this is such great news!! I will continue to pray that you get stronger and healthier.

Thanks again for the updates. I'd say you're looking prett good for all you went though! 

My prayers you'll keep improving and be back home soon. 

Great to see you up and about with a smile on your face.

Steve, this is truly great to hear! As Bakster said, it's nice to hear some good news and it has really brightened my day!

Not sure we'll recognize you at the next meeting!  It's good to see you smiling. 

Hey Steve-- it is fantastic to see you progressing so well. Seeing that lonesome oxygen bottle really hits home. That says it all. I am so happy for you.

In a sea of bad news, it sure warms the heart to see something good happen.

Thanks for sharing all this. Your story helps us too.

Steve

Steve: Great to hear you're still improving!

   Thank you for sharing your experience with us MC, ( still don't think I have earned the privilege to use you true name), very enlightening and for that I am greatful. I'm also so glad that you get to spend more time with us "mugs" here on FSM. If ya don't mind sir God bless you, your docs, and your family. May you enjoy many many years with them.

    Ok enough of the mushy mushy....get yer butt back to the bench. BUT PLEASE PLEASE think of a respirator for painting. Thanks again and chat at ya later.

WOW!  With all the bad stuff you hear about today..this is an awesome story!!  We will continue prayers for you and your family...strength and peace for all!  You are one strong dude and you have one strong family.  You are an overcomer!!!  Blessings to all!

Great to hear your making a full recovery and starting to feel better after your op.

Wishing you the best.

Thank you my friends. You all (y'all) are the best.

Everything is progressing well. Not much has happened today and nothing tomorrow I would assume. My lung volume continues to increase and I am allowed to wear some of my own t-shirts and walk the halls freely. I asked the Dr about the possably of removing my feeding tube. He was a hesitant to say either way of course but he did say I might graduate to solid food Monday. This was a little confusing to this old technician. Why would I still be on a feeding tube and solid food at the same time? He said that the lungs are inflamed and wanted to settle that down before we introduced a additional possable cause in the form of aspiration of thin liquids. Now that made since, I would have to use the feeding tube for hydration, not for food for a few more days.

I post another update when something changes.

Steve

Hey Steve, I was so happy for you while reading your post that I teared up.  You are an inspiration, and as all know here, an oustanding person.  Words really can't say how happy I am to hear that this has turned out as well as it has.  Please keep us updated, and I hope the recovery continues as well as it has so far.

It is a great relief to hear from you Steve!  Best wishes to a speedy recovery!

What a treat to hear from the man himself. Been eagerly awaiting same.

So glad things are going well, Steve. Sounds like you are doing great, you keep it up.
