Great to see ya back and postin' again!!...congrats on the weight loss, too

Rock back and rest...eat right and listen to the docs...go sit in the boat every now and then...it'll help!!...:fam:

Glad to hear you're home. Starting to get a little worried esp if they took you to Toby. Don't do anything with those shirts until after a few weeks that you feel up to it. I can wait and certainly every else can as well. Take it easy and get better!

I had a bad bleed and it took 8 units of blood to get me back in shape!
I feel ok but I have a ways to go, I am on a liquid dite and need to relax and no stress.
No fishing as i have a pick line in my arm and get iv fluids every 3 days, so looks like my season is shot :cen:

good news is i am down 52 pounds from my surgery date 8 weeks ago, and my kidney numbers are looking much better!

i have to see a neurologist friday as my right side keeps going num and no one is sure why??

doc put me out of work for the next 6 months!! and since i have taken so much time off it will be all with NO pay:bat: so i will live off savings for a while what a dent that is going to put in them!!
i just may have to sell?? and it will be at a huge loss i am sure:cen:

guys with shirts i am going to wait a week or so and see how things go, then get started on sending stuff out again, i have been grounded and no driving so i got to get help to go to post office but will get it done!

ok for now:hi:

hi MJ is it your leg or your whole side hope all gets better for you too

MJ,

Glad you are back at your home now and I hope & pray you get well soon. Don't worry about fishing, the fish will be there when you get well, just get well first! Welcome home buddy.

Well wishes and speedy recovery sent your way!

Glad you're home! Get well soon, MJ. It's not the same forum without you.

Terrific news that you are home and on the mend. The fish will be there next year.

If I recall correctly, you work for the Massachusetts Commonwealth. Check with your HR department to see if there is any short and/or long term disability policy. It sounds like your doctors would clearly say you are disabled. There is also social security disability, of course, should heaven forbid, the problem last longer.

Also, I agree with Destroyer that you should check with the Mass. unemployment folks. Most states only pay unemployment if you are actually let go or laid off from the employer, and there are goofy rules when you work for the state or federal government which reduce or eliminate unemployment benefits. For example, I am aware that federal employees are not entitled to state unemployment benefits in Indiana. I do not think workers compensation is an option unless your illness is tied to an injury or illness caused by your job.

Best wishes and we will all keep thinking about and praying for you.

SSDI only kicks in when you're out for a year and then has very strict guidelines which may prevent him from owning a car, home, boat, etc.
Unemployment Insurance only kicks in help if you're laid off here in MA.
Not a chance on the workers comp either.

Glad you are ok Maco....now take it easy and get back to 100%!

Glad you're OK bro. Take it easy.
