I'm almost back on line

[Kody]

Hi guys
I'm almost back on line at last. My back finally crashed out and I had go to Brisbane by comercial airline for a major operation on my lower spine. The opperation was a great success and I eventually returned home. Three days later I was literally thrown to the ground by the pain of the worst infection I have ever experienced. I was rushed back to Brisbane via the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the operation was carried out once again. eventually I was flown back to the hospital here in Rockhampton and have been here for around 8 weeks. They have been pumping super strong antiotics into me for 4 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the evening. I am now home at last but will be consumming heaps of sulphur drugs for the next 3 weeks. Once my strength and weight return I can start on the building of my TD once again. I'm now hoping I will get it ready for tripping next year around June. We were blasted with a horrific cyclone that destroyed our property but left the house and workshop intact. Hopefully, I will be strong enough to work on the TD in about two months time. Such is life but I have survived.

Kody, best wishes friend...having blown( ligament torn ) out both knees within months of each other, I can definitely understand your lack of mobility. Being on meds can be depressing and take a toll on your body. Godspeed on your recovery....Txbum

Glad you are on the mend.

I am pleased to hear you are recovering.
Storms - that must be rough, I get a bit of an idea about how you feel, the 2010 and 2011 quakes did a bit of damage around here too.

Get well soon mate and then get on with your build!

Hi Guys
I am back home now full time, no more tripping to the hospital for 8 hours each day for drug infusion via a PIC line. The doctor precribed a course of oral drugs for me and I found out I was allergic to them and began throwing up and ever so ill. I now have some compatable antibiotics and should now be fully on the way to a complete recovery. I am now back into my CAD and designing a new box trailer, it's so good to get back to designing.

Regaining control of your life is so satisfying.

Glad to hear things are better now. Enjoy designing and getting back to your normal routine!

Glad your on mending. Are you taking any probiotics with all those antibiotics? Your stomach will feel better if you do.
