Sorry I have been away again and here's why.
I know a good while back I promised to be around more and submit more posts but I was side tracked last year when my overall health was deteriorating just after Daytona Bike Week in March of 2015. After a ton of blood draws my doctors narrowed down what was wrong to my right kidney. I didn't feel any pain during this time just lethargic, feverish, chilled and wanted to sleep a lot when I got off of work.
When I finally did feel pain (after weeks of people expressing concern about my paler than normal appearance...I was also pretty anemic during this time) on the 2nd of September I was admitted to the hospital and a week later my right kidney was removed. I was pretty "out" of it for awhile after the surgery but later found out that the doctors (3 with a 4th one called in to help) almost lost me....by the time I was out of surgery I had gone through 9 pints of blood and had 40 staples across my abdomen. I was finally released on October the 9th but still had a time trying to get the different medications I was put on to play nice with each other. After my recovery period I finally returned to work and this week marks my 7th week of work with no episodes or problems.
So that is what happened....sorry I have been gone so long and I missed being on this forum as well as some other forums I participate in.
