Ice_man_08 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Well I haven't been on or posted in a while I have been going through a pretty tough time. On feb 24th I was admitted into metro health in GR and was diagnosed with meningitis. While I was sick I contracted a rare disease called trasverse malitis ( sorry not sure how its spelled exactly) basically it infected my spine and started to eat at my cord. I am 75 percent paralyzed now from my chest down. While I was at metro as well I also A febed and had a sustained Heart rate of 228 beats a min. I had that feeling of doom and thought "that was it for ole big jay" right now I am at mary free bed in downtown gr. Been here 2 weeks and am being discharged on the 23rd. Right now I am able to walk very short distances, my balance is bad and I have a ton of nerve pain in my legs. Doc says I should be able to get about 60-80 percent of my walking back but its going to take a ton of time. Please don't feel sorry for me as this has to be gods will and I will make it back out on the big lake. But I wanted to update everyone. If anyone would like to visit me the hours are anytime after 5 pm me and I will give you my room number. I hope to see you guys out there soon.

Ice_man_08 Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Well boys my time has come. They are discharging me tomorrow and I will continue my treatment with the va. I am pretty excited as I haven't been able to sleep in my own bed for just about a month. I am excited to go home to my wife and hunting dog!. No word on when I will be able to go back to work or even if I will be able to. May need to find a desk job. Still not 100 percent more like 50. But thank you all for your prayers and kind words. I am by no means out of the woods yet and may never be, but at least I will be home with my family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
