Topic: Dear friends

I am back.
It is getting really weird, escaping 3 times from DEAD, in 3 months, and with escaping I mean that I was not allowed to survive my medical problems.
- Big ulcers in my oesophagus, worst degree (from oesophagitis degree I ---> IV). I had a degree IV, with "pre-cancer", touching = bleeding, and after this, feeling really bad, coughing, periods of fever, the acid coming from my stomach + the reflux (not Duran Duran, the reflex) caused a severe pneumonia = acid in my lungs followed by a 80% deadly pneumonia.
Where did I deserve to live?
I believe that I have a fantastic guardian angel, still convinced that this angel is my "deceased father" 35 years ago.

SOMEONE WHO HAS A GOOD HEALTH WANT EVERYTHING: MONEY, WOMEN, HE CAN'T GET ENOUGH.
SOMEONE WITH A BAD HEALTH, JUST WANT ONE THING = a GOOD HEALTH.
Will I ever run out of luck? It's the 5th time that I "cheated dead"?
I just post this short topic, I've been through hell a few times, and still I'm not good at all. I just hope to find courage to continue my life, or what is left of it.
I AM NOT INTENDED TO GIVE IT UP THERE HAS TO BE A REASON THAT I AM STILL HERE.
Thanks for all your support.

Re: Dear friends

Still here. Still an inspiration.

I've been on holiday for a while and was sitting feeling sorry for myself at the thought of returning to work tomorrow. How small do I feel right now, that that was getting me down?

I truly wish for your health to improve. You've shown me up for the self-involved, short-sighted idiot that I am, and I thank you for that.

God bless you, Doc! Keep inspiring.

Is anything really made up of zeros and ones??

Re: Dear friends

If you've got to cheat, cheat death.  Thanks to God that you did.  It isn't the same place without your participation.  I'm glad you're back.   

I've got esophogitis and know what it's like to have the constant pain in your stomach and throat and the inability to take a deep breath or sometimes even to swallow and have nothing but sympathy for your condition that is far worse than mine ever was.  Thanks to God and a good gastro-intestinal specialist, I am well mended with the condition under control and pray that you will be too.

Re: Dear friends

AND it get's better, I came back Friday evening, I catched another "little bug", allowing me to paint my whole house in a brown colour, add 40°C fever, JESUS!!?? I think I drunk about 20 litre of water, apple juice.
Today, better.
Strange, isn't it? If I should have died, the cause of death would be in fact the same as JIM MORISSON, JIMI HENDRIX, KEITH MOON, so I start in reverse: LET'S PLAY AND PERFORM LIKE THEM, I really earned my place there now.
Cheating dead is nice, and indeed if you take in such case "extra's" like boose, drugs.. bye bye cruel world. The sweetest thing there was an incredible beautiful nurse (still studying) a real beauty and so sweet, like removing sweat on my face and hiding quick that towel when others entered the room. But I was to sick to be interested. These weeks were strange, I was not really confused but it was more "blurry, dreaming and awake"  BUT I MADE A FEW SONGS THERE, you will see some lyrics soon.
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR FANTASTIC SUPPORT, IT FEELS SO GOOD TO SEE HOW MANY NICE PEOPLE AND REAL (cyber) FRIENDS CHORDIE HAS GIVEN ME, AND THAT FEELING IS MUTUAL.
LOVE YOU ALL.

Re: Dear friends

Doc,
I feel that there is something that you still need to do.
What is it you haven't done?
It's not a where as much as a what.
I'm glad you're still with us.
You've become a friend to so many, that have never met you in person.
Have you been skydiving, did you get to climb mountains, have you done what other doctors have told you you're not healthy enough to do?
You've passed over death so many times. Try something new, go meet someone you've never met. What's tha doctors going to do, tell you don't cause it could kill you.
Your life is full, so share it. Keep on defying the doctors.

If you're not happy with what you have...
Then you'll never be happy with what you get...
