No, but it did involve the digestive tract and I went septic from leaking shite after the surgery.

Did you have a tapeworm?

How fricking cruel to keep a 20 year old on life support for 15 years.

No fricking shite.

My family knows that if I’m like that then they need to unplug me.

Basically a ruptured intestine. That's not the technical term but I don't remember it.

Almost fully recovered. Still walk with a cane but not too bad when you consider that I couldn't move my toes or roll over in bed a year ago.


Did your foot drop?

Do you mean from laying in bed? They had me wear high top sneakers in bed to prevent that.

Wish they'd been able to do something like that with mine. My whole leg was messed up, so I guess they couldn't put anything on my foot.

It never got corrected. I have to wear a brace on that leg or it's like I twisted my ankle.

I had crazy dreams too. Six months after I was home from the hospital, I remembered one of them during the middle of the night. I got up and wrote three legal pages. It might make a good movie!

I told my family I wanted to do that while I was still in the hospital. Someone brought up the forms, we filled them out and I signed it. My parents are in their 80's. They've done it too.

Damn. Sorry to hear that. Explains why they made such a big deal about it to me.

I can remember every bit of them. Thought I was shot in the stomach by some BLM activists. Thought my stepdad had kidnapped my son so he could train him to play QB for Alabama. Thought I was a slave at a Hyundai plant and was hung on a wall between shifts. Was forcibly castrated at one point. I was always trying to get the mask off my mouth and the tube out of my throat. The single biggest thing was thirst. I spent 90% of my time searching for a drink of water.

when he went under, he may have had a large Nokia cell phone, but probably didn't have one I'd guess. An iPhone would look like some Alien technology I'd assume. Once he finds out he can watch porn on it, I hope he switches arms every now and then!

Damn, you've taken away my hope that if people in that state are conscious, their brain takes them to a pleasant place.
