Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health afterwards @XFlak .... HOWEVER... Take your time buddy. YOU come first.

I'm sure and I know all will be fine again.
Your family, especially your children, will give you the strength to get well on your way to recovery,my Friend.
Wish you all the best and god bless you.

P.S. I still haven't finished the videos.

@XFlak
I never talked to you but I use a lot your tool, thank you so much for helping lots of people! Now just rest and get well soon!

XFlak · Feb 2, 2023

I am legit teary eyed reading through all this. Thank you all so much.

I'm curious about the deleted posts, and the one guy claiming I might be dead also posted on my profile saying I'm really the best man or something. Maybe he legit misunderstood, let's not be so quick to turn on each other... but at the same time I love knowing so many are jumping to my defense, lol. I can anyways count on this community.

Some have been asking for an update on my situation, so here goes.

Today they removed 1 of 3 drainage pipes clearing my stomach. The hoses that are left are practically wireless as they connect to bags that are taped to my body. So yeah now I'm basically 5G wireless, lol, jk. A few days ago to walk around I needed to carry 4-5 bags attached to my insides, now I can get around much easier.

1 more drainage should get removed tomorrow. And doc says there's a good chance I'll be able to go home sometime this weekend. Today I am allowed water again and even had some jello. I'm telling u, going close to a week with almost no water was super tough. But it got easier once they removed my nose/stomach tube. On the bright side I'm sure I've lost some weight, I actually lost 30lbs before this ordeal from stress + yard work, thank God too because getting around now is hard enough I definitely didn't need it to be any tougher.

I will have to live with the colostomy bag for some months, but I am grateful it's not permanent as is the case for many less fortunate ppl. I'll need detailed checks to see if other surgeries will be needed, they may need to remove bits of large intestine or a tumor if they find one (I'm told unlikely), but there's an OK chance I will just need only 1 more surgery to remove the colostomy bag. I've been joking lately about anatomy, and how God in his infinite wisdom installed the exhaust in the back... boy let me tell you that was a good call, Pee-you, lol.

I originally wasn't planning on sharing this, but on my 2nd day here I encountered an elderly nurse that reminded me of the crazy nurse from the movie Mysery (I expect everyone to watch it now or at least a trailer, lol). I was legit traumatized and couldn't even talk about it without aggravating my condition. So I spent 4+ hours typing out the events on my phone (using my left hand cuz IV in right) and after lots of break-downs/pauses eventually worked up the courage to share with my immediate family. Their help and support gave me the strength to report her actions to my doctor who has taken appropriate action and now my interactions with her are limited without negatively impacting my care. For the record I believe she had good intentions but there's a line between tough love and abuse and I think she flirted with it too closely, and not just with me from what I've heard from other staff. For anyone suffering silently any kind of mental or physical abuse I know it's not easy but know you're not alone, and reach out to someone/anyone, even me, if u ever need a shoulder to lean on.

Other staff has been amazing btw, I've always been bad with remembering new names but I've been making a point to learn everyone's and not take their care for granted. Docs and nurses have it rough, and there are a few I see regularly that are just angels and I make sure to tell them so. I'm not ever going to bite my tongue when I have something positive to say, doesn't matter if awkward, the new me spreads truth and positivity without shame or shyness, and I encourage everyone to do that same without needing to go through what I did in order to make a change.

I love this group of ppl. Seriously I asked Peter (aka urmum69) to share my last modmii beta if I go "MIA" for lack of a better term. Way too much effort went into it for it to never see the light of day, and I can't wait to share it with all of you. Anyone who wants the early beta feel free to pm me about it Cuz I'm feeling very generous, just please don't leak it or my changelog before I'm ready.

Now I'm going to keep resting and reading all your inspiring comments. It really has made my day, thank you I am truly blessed and your kind words are feeding me strength.

P.S. I fucking got this, it may not be easy but it doesn't matter, I'm Mr Positivity now and nothing is going to keep me down. I'm going to one day look back on this event as a positive turning point in my mental health, this I promise u.

AncientBoi · Feb 2, 2023

Great @XFlak!, Recover soon, and get back on your feet. :hrth:

Hello,

We are all with you to support you in this test of courage.

You are an excellent person, always ready to help others.

I wish you the best :hrth:

DinohScene · Feb 2, 2023

I'm glad you're doing better Xflak.
Are you going to make ModMii 5g wireless compatible as well? considering you've been upgraded : D

As for the deleted content, it was just some user wanting attention by fouling up your get well soon thread, turning it into a EoF styled look-at-me-look-at-me-look-at-me shit fest.
I felt it was quite the inappropriate behaviour for a thread of this magnitude of seriousness.

That's great to here @XFlak ! It's true, "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger", and it certainly affected me similarly when I faced serious illness, and the related surgeries and prolonged treatments... it gives you perspective for sure.

A really scary story! I'm so glad you're doing better now. I always perceived you as a great guy, always willing to help. We, as a community, don't know how lucky and blessed we are to be alive and healthy until some shit like that happen in life. I hope you recuperate fully. We still need you around here.

SaulFabre · Feb 2, 2023

XFlak · Feb 2, 2023

Thanks again everyone! Here's an update, with some bits maybe being a little redundant with what was said before.

Things are progressing as well as they possibly could under the circumstances so far. 2 days ago they removed my nose/stomach tube, yesterday they removed my catheter (not fun

), and today they removed 1 of my stomach drainage tubes. I still have 2 stomach tubes but they're connected to bags taped to my sides so I am joking that now I'm wireless, lol (unless you count IV).

Today I started drinking water and tea, and eating soup and jello. Today I also trimmed my beard and brushed my teeth for the first time in awhile, felt really good. I'm able to take myself for walks around the surgical ward and go to the bathroom, but still haven't figured out changing my colonostopy bag or showers yet.

Sleep has been hard to find, hopefully tonight is better. I told them no more Xanax it didn't help so if anything they will try something different tonight if I have issues (actually they dropped off the pill already for me to take if/when I choose).

Security and visiting hours are strict, but it's the highlight of my day.

I'm doing plenty of soul searching and am actively trying to think more positively about all things in life (heck I'm even sure markets will rally just wait and see, lol, jk).

The doctor says I might be able to go home some time this weekend. Then maybe I'll need that sleeping pill being with kids again, lol.

I still have a long road ahead, but right now I feel lucky and blessed. It could have been a lot worse, and I have the support of many loved ones to help me through it all.
