+ 5 Day Before Disaster

Booked away for a spa break for 3 days with my partner, on the final morning after these photos I had to drive two and half hours back for an emergency GP appointment that landed me in the hospital, admitted to a ward for 5 days 
Long story short, don't go on vacation if you have a headache that feels like the pressure in your skull is going to explode your head clean off your shoulders and 4 days later you start vomiting blood!...

Those arms look huge!!!!
I agree ! Trips can be exhaustive at time, listen to your body
Get well brother and don't try to push it. Your health is something like time, you can't get it back once it is gone.
Man I feel the vomiting blood ! I have serve GERD and bile over-production. I basically wake up vomiting bike every morning. I have to keep a base next to my bed and take carafate to prevent scarring. Still sometimes throwing up so frequent can pop or rip blood vessels internally and then throwing up blood is pretty scary.
Have tried over a dozen different meds and treatments. Going to get another scope pretty soon and make sure the bile hasn’t caused any ulcers or scarring/damage to my esophagus.
Hope you continue to heal brother man.
Sick gym btw!
That sounds rough, never heard anything like that before... Can't imagine how you put up with it!
I just got out of the hospital for the same thing, the Dr diagnosed me with barrets esophagus and it's caused from chronic stomach acid exposure to the esophagus. I had a ruptured ulcer in my esophagus and lost so much blood I passed out and had a seizure, my wife found me in the floor in our bathroom unconscious in a puddle of blood seizing. The Dr put me on protonix and they are doing iron infusions because of the anemia from blood loss. So far the protonix is taking care of the chronic acid reflux and I haven't had any more issues other than anemia from blood loss.
Yep that’s my biggest concern with the issue. So far have been lucky but only will be for so long if I can’t get it solved.
Sorry to hear you had to go through that brother. That was probably super scary for you and the wife. Glad to hear you’re mostly better now man. That’s always scared the shit out of me. I normally get it neutralized pretty quickly with an absurd amount of water and some type of base before it comes up in the morning. Short of setting alarms to wake up every couple of hours to eat I don’t know how to resolve it, because while eating during the day I’m mostly fine.
Erieplaces1hopefully healthy again soon. the bat cave is awesome though.
What an awesome setup. What the hell happened is everything alright?
The GP suspected meningitis so I got rushed to hospital, they wanted to do a lumbar puncture and take fluid from my spine to determine if it was 100% the cause but after 5 days of waiting for bed space for the procedure I decided I was done, had enough of hospital lol...
Got pumped full of morphine along with anti biotics & anti virals, symptoms subsided... Not sure about the meningitis as I had a CT and MRI scan, all clear along with blood tests and swabs... I also think I had my vaccine for that, so not 100% sure, but definitely something nasty hit me.
Doesn't sound right.
Are you back to normal now or still experiecing any of this?
ProSupps my man appreciate you checking in! Back to normal, some residual neck stiffness as it appeared to attack my nerves, wasn't able to fully look left, right or down without tightness / pain.
Broke out in a 'rash' which has made the rear of my head slightly sensitive to touch but that was stress related I believe as it didn't match a meningitis rash at all.
But luckily no more crushing headache / head pressure, no pain right now
Thank God you’re alright now.
Cheers!
Nice lookin dungeon mate
Really good gym honestly, it was underground in an old tobacco warehouse so literally a dungeon
That place is fucking awesome bro! I'd be getting some good ones in there. Glad you feel better brother! Hope it stays that way! Looking pretty fucking jacked there too! Someone doesn't skip leg day lol
Agreed that’s a badass setup. I’d feel like a badass and it doesn’t seem like it services too many people. I don’t like crowds or waiting for machines. I hit the gym at 2-3am sometimes just to be alone lol.
Not to hijack this at all, but what’s your most recent update brother chimmy?! Been praying for some good news and your healing.
I'm the same way brother! I go early to keep away from the masses lol. Place is bad ass for sure!
Anyhow, I went to the Ortho Monday. They X-rayed my leg and I mean it's healing but it's gonna be a while. They want me to start PT in like 2 weeks.
I definitely feel better than I was but it's still what it is. It'll be a while. At least they gave me the green light to put some pressure on it next week. Want me to try using it to walk in like 2-3 weeks, with the boot and crutches of course. I guess to try and get me used to it. It's crazy deformed looking now that it's healing. I honestly don't care though. So long as I get to use it again instead. Ya know?
I appreciate you! And all the guys that check up on me. Means alot to me brother! This has been a rough go so far and the support I get from you guys helps more than you know.
