Mods move where you want. Just have had some emails checking on me. Just got my phone back around 9pm.

I was in a Coma for 14 days. I just found out. Pneumonia turned into ards. I lost 1/3 of my left lung and 50 lbs so far in the 27 days I've been here. Guys don't wait to go to the doctor. I waited and they told me a few more hours and I would have died.

I was 100,% ventilated. Woke up from my Coma and pulled out my own tube. Or I would still be in the Coma today.  Headed to Bloomington rehabilitation hospital tomorrow to start rehab for the 3 weeks at least. Learning to walk again at 56 sucks. 

Kiss your loved ones every day. Thank whoever every day for that day. GO IU. Shot me an email if you wish. Good practice, taken an hour to write this out. Lol

 

So sorry to hear this, Kev! Glad you are up and doing better. God Bless!

That is scary. I'm glad you pulled through and survived but it sounds like you have some tough times ahead but I'm going you are fully recovered before too long. Even if it's painful it's better to be alive than not and I'm sure all of your family and friends would agree. I don't know you IRL but I'm happy you survived.

That's an incredible story of survival.  Sounds like a long road to recovery, but praying it's complete for you.  Meanwhile, your Uber-stalking posts will be missed...get better and get back.  Godspeed...

Sorry to hear about your health problems. I am praying for your quick recovery. The good news is you have what we all hope is a great season to encourage you during your rehabilitation.

Doctor came in yesterday during IU 4th quarter and turned it off. Said I couldn't watch IU football until next season. Shot my BP to high.

That doctor is doing you a favor. If Allen returns next year, the doctor should restrict you from watching it then, as well, to be on the safe side.

Holy Cow.  Glad you appear to be on the road to recovery (if there is a silver lining here).  Best wishes IndyKev, here's to a speedy recovery.

Kev, as much as I hated to read what happened, it was an enormous relief to see your post.  You had some of us very worried, my friend.

Prayers going out for your continued recovery.  Listen to the Dr., unless he's a Purdue fan.

If you went to a VET 🤔

Start calling you Hoss 

Watching IU or Purdue football isn’t good for anyone…although you guys looked good yesterday

Glad you are with us today.  Keep fighting.  Will keep you in my prayers.  Thanks for sharing.  Go Hoosiers!
