i've been fighting my c.o.p.d. hard this year
i started feeling bad with a bad hacking cough that i just haven't been able to shake. i've been on antibiodics three times scence augest trying to get rid of it then last thursday i got the flue on top of it.
the doc put me on strong stairoids friday and pills for the nasia from the flu put me on clear liquids on friday so i missed my elk hunt friday.
saterday i felt better and with elk hunting onle 8 miles from the house i went out aside from this dang cough i was doing good all day. that night i had night sweats so bad i soaked the covers on the bed and found it was painful to sleep on my left side which is how i normally sleep.
i got up at three am and once i was up and took tylenal i again felt good aside from the cough so i went hunting.
coughed all day and saw two small bulls but not the big boy i'm hopeing for.
moseley got his bull.
we all were in our own trucks so when i headded off the mountain i was alone.
when i changed elovation to the point my ears popped my luft lung felt like it colapsed buy the time i hit the house i was in sever respitory distress and really thought i was having a heart attack.
i crawled into the house and the wife called 911.
took a ambulence to the hospital and a few exrays later discovered i have pnumoinia down low in the left lung and its pushing on my diaphram so hard they had to give me strong pain killers the first dose didn't work and they gave me a double dose the second time that and a i.v of antibiodics two breathing treatments then they sent me home.
scared the out of me my wife and kids.
good new was they did alot of heart checking and my heart is in really good shape we all thought i was having a heart attack
i'm sick of being sick have had resptory problems my whole life and had enseflitous like ragen when i was 5.
the docters told my mom and dad i was going to die then and thought it was a act of god that saved me /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif
thank you again Lord /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif guess i should have listened to you when you tried to tell me saterday night not to go.

just looked back and read this i sure lived up to my sig line on this one but i feel to bad to fix it.

CM, Stay on those antibiotics and stay inside to rest, even though you will start feeling better....

That takes a long time to subside and even longer to heal... I'm assuming you are a lot like the rest of us and hate to feel bad.. when you start to feel better, you just gotta get up and go... when you (and we) should stay down... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif

That big Elk is probably hiding out there waiting for you to get better so it will be a real hunt... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
 
CM,
Prayed for you. Pneumonia is no fun. I had it several years ago in the same place you have it. Had the same symptoms, sweats, shakes bad, very high fever, wife was really worried. I was on the antibiotic, Cipro and downed lots of fluids. It was six months before I felt normal. Will keep praying for you.
 
I have a three legged one eyed dog named lucky, You want to borrow him?

Listen you need to get well or them elk gonna be chuckling all season. Isn't this getting old stuff fun.
 
rim runner just vote for republican and we won't have anything to argue over. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif oops sorry

i hope i heal faster then six months i have a high mast light tower i have to stand on thursday.
factory rep. and 100 ton crain already set up.
the really bad thing about me getting sick is my jobs require me to be there. when i can't work neither does my crew that job shuts down.
worse comes to worse i'll be there yelling orders out the window of the truck.
my crew can't afford for me to be sick.
i need more journeymen electritions with leadership skills.

idbob can lucky blood trail elk? thats the luck i hope i need soon.
sometimes lifes a bowl of cherry's but this year has been the pits. thats ok i'll just keep climbing the mountain as the lord lays them out. next week will be better /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif

i'll never spell it right but here go my best shot.
cronic pulmanairy obstruction desease.
it when you have asthsma and cronic broncitase or emphasima any combo of the three.
i have asthsma and i get broncitas every year when my alergies kick in and my nose runs. the alergies cause my lungs to fill with muccas and it kicks off the asthma attacks and broncitas. been dealing with it as long as i remember.
this time i have been to the doctor three times trying to kick the cough and alergies when i'd use a store bought 12 hr naisel spray for the alergies i wasn't haveing problems.
the docter got upset because i guess that afrin naisel spray is really addicting and he put me on naisanex. that didn't help and thats when the coughing started to get worse. last friday i told the doc about the muccas problem getting worse when i went to naisanex so he changed it to veramyst which is working just a couple months to late.
i think that i may have had the pneonia for over a month and just didn't realize that the aching in my lung wasn't just from coughing to hard it was more serious /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif

Case, you need to get well. I was going to come up this weekend, but I don't want to come over if you're gonna' be blowing germs all over me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Seriously, get 72 hours bed rest. That's what they told me when I had pneumonia this year. Sure, I missed some hunting, but I didn't let it kill me. Take care of your self so you can hunt strong.
 
i might miss some elk hunting but the snow will fly my alergies will go away and i'll be healthy for coyote season.
there is always something good to look forward to.
the elk will be getting better and better for the next two weeks then rifle season opens the first of october this year for the first time ever so the elk might still be bugleing then too.
what i really am wanting is to be in the zone with several bugleing bulls and right now the small bulls each have a few cows each i'm looking for the bull that comes and takes them all away and forms the large herd. the master of the mountain Elvis.
NASA call me when you guys get here what i have isn't catchy i'm over the flu part

COPD = Chronic Obstructed Pulmonary Disease.

CM, hang in their buddy. I wish you well.

Had pneumonia 3x in my life. 1st time about killed me. A tough go for sure.
 
Casey,
I'm praying for you brother.
I"ll be headed through your town on the 22nd and staying at a friends in Gillette for the night. Then heading to Casper on Sunday. Let me know if you feel up to it and I'll stop by and show you some of my calls /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
You should see about getting allergy shots, I started getting them again and after about a year most if not all symptoms go away. So far I've had very little problems with ragweed and it's at an all time high right now. I just started shots about 4-5 months ago. I used to get them years ago and stopped getting them. I went for over 5 years before any symptoms showed up again. I never should have stopped going. Right now I go every week but next year twice a month, etc. Sure beats taking all the pills and nasal sprays.

Take care,
Mike

Mike Tom and claimbuster i want all to get in touch with me when you guys come threw casper! you guys can't catch what i have and i'm feeling well enough right now for company. i even slept all night last night for the first time sence thrusday. i didn't even get up for pain killers and am not in pain this morning. i can take deep breaths this morning without even a touch of pain.
thanks for all the prayers they are working.
if my cough dies off my wife might let me hunt this weekend. if i can't hunt your visits will make me feel better,
the big bulls usually show up the 15th threw the 23 and the true dance begins so i have to be well by the weekend.
 
i know i aint to bright but i made it to work today and should have been in bed. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif people come and go but the jobs gotta get done. my crew can't go without work. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif tomarrow we stand a high mast tower thats 120' tall and the apprenticeses need me to get-er-done. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
i thought about cancleing but we have to make payroll and to do that we have to finnish jobs on time. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
boy it was easier to work for someone than having 50 work for you. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
oil well i never missed work before i was a owner either no matter how sick i was. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif i was on the job the day i got out of the hospital from a acl knee surgery too, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif crutches frankenstin staples all the way down my leg.{i poured traffic signal concrete footings and wanted them right} /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
GOOD THING IS i'm doing great at stopping smoking. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
ok i should slow down i know tom but heck you meen i'm not bullit proof /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
old turtle has me pegged i just can't stand being indoors that why i wont work in the office they would have to put my desk outside. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif indoors is just for sleeping.
kerby i had it 4 times in high school and several times scence thanks everyone its just getting normal to not be able to breath i don't remember a year without at least one bout with some breathing problem. in 1967 i was like the 9th person ever to live threw ensephalitaus. so i've made it 40 yrs longer then expected. bad way to look at it but i do remember standing at the gates of heaven when i was in the coma and live my life trying to get back. some hope its there i know it is. i'm more afraid of messing up here on earth then most and sometimes it costs me but its not my wish to be rich but to be fare to all i encounter. i could make money at others expence but that isn't right. i want all contracts fair to the owners workers and my company.
the way the u.s. is run is nice guys finnish last and thats what keeps my company just skimping by. i get screwed by it every year i be nice i get took. does not matter, do onto others as you would have them do unto you useuly only runs from my side in the buissness world.
i said i'd do it this day you can take it to the bank thats the day it will happen, sick, broken, or bankrupt. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif OK i'm ramblin to many things on my mind tonight

First Middleton, I'll trust that the Lord will heal you. Second, I have to question the wisdom of any doc who would have you on steroids and antibiotics at the same time. Steroids are huge immune system suppressors. How can you get better without your immune system strong? The antibiotics can't do it alone. You may want to get a second opinion.
 
good point red eye. they put me on the staroids on friday trying to streangthen my lungs while they were treating it as just the copd. but its so strong you just cant stop taking it you have to be weined off it, that may be why the doctor at the hospital told me to finish the regamint.
the anti biodic they have me on kills all the enzimes in your digestive tract so after taking it i'm supouse to eat yogert 45 min later to put them back. the pain killers are perkaset but i stopped taking them when the pain stopped.
at the hospital it took three shots of morphine to stop the pain. two days later i'm back to the bad chough no pain no feaver and breathing as well as i was before the attack.
something worked or is working
