    Hi everyone, I’m still alive and kickin!! Finally got over all my nasty infections from my neck surgery a year ago. I have had three cancer surgeries since then. I’m getting pretty good at surgeries. All the hospitals know me by name. LOL!

    Doc,
    Glad your neck has healed with no more pain. You have surely been through a lot this last year. Hope things calm down!

    Yes. I had a bad site infection after a surgery. They put a pick line in my right arm so I could infuse my IV antibiotics at home. Then I got a large blood clot along the pick line, so they took it out and put one in my left arm. I got 2 bad blood infection from that one, so that one came out and a different type of line went back in my right arm again. Evey time I got a new infection I was back in the hospital for 2 weeks to make sure I was going to live.
    The nurses got to know me good. Every time I had to go back they would ask ” what now?” LOL!
