Rami,
Hope all is going well from here on out. You take care of yourself and I hope you're back on the flight line soon.

Hey guys,

Since I just put my daughter back to bed after a nightmare, I wanted to let you know what happened. After all the testing came back, it turns out that I had a case of cellulitis on my skin, probably on my left leg, which somehow got through my skin or through one of the skin ulcers and found its way into my bloodstream, which is why my lymph glands were swollen, they were trying to hold the fort.

The symptoms I experienced that Thursday, if ignored, could have caused organ damage if I had waited. By getting to the hospital quickly and being put on heavy-duty antibiotics, my body was able to fight it off before things got really serious. By the time I saw my doctor on the 17th, blood sugar, cholesterol, kidney function, liver function, and my white blood cell count had all returned to normal, and the excess fluid in my left leg which stemmed from not having my leg in compression for five days has mostly abated. I also found out that I lost 13-14 points as a result of this, so there was a nice bonus for my troubles.

I appreciate all the concern and support! :encouragement:

Good morning,

Heading for the park-and-ride lot for my flight out of Logan about 3:30am, flying on JetBlue, the flight number is B6 835 if anyone wants to track me. Flight is scheduled to depart Boston at 7:00am EST, and land at Minneapolis-Saint Paul at 9:30am CST, or 10:30am EST.

My testing and post-surgery check up at Hold the Mayo is on Tuesday, March 10th.

Good morning,

Just so everyone knows, my leg has plateaued and regressed a bit, so I need to head out for more surgery at the Mayo Clinic after speaking with them a couple of weeks ago to set everything up. Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, this will be a solo trip, but I will be staying with my cousins out in Roberts, WI. I'm sure there will be plenty of good times to be had.

I'm flying out on the morning of June 12th. The surgery date is June 18th, with a testing day on the 17th, and a Covid screening on the afternoon of the 16th. So I will be in down in Rochester, MN for about 72 hours, and then return the morning of June 22nd.

I will contact Shadow Wolf 07 and Devildog73 post-surgery to inform you all of my status.

Delta Flight #1314 BOS-MSP (07:20 - 09:26) 12 June, 2020.
Delta Flight #820 MSP-BOS (08:30 - 12:11) 22 June, 2020

I'm flying on Delta because it's direct; JetBlue suspended a bunch of their routes out of Logan International, including their direct BOS-MSP runs. I've taken all the precautions I can, including N95 filters for my face mask, and a window seat so that I lessen my contact with those in the aisles.

Also, it didn't help that I woke up screaming last night covered in sweat...I had a bizarre nightmare that the Mayo surgeon I’ve trusted with my life turned into Christian Szell, and kept asking “Is it safe?” as I was tortured on the operating table.

Needless to say I’ve been up since. I think this may be a sign that some anxiety is starting to creep in here.
 
Have only sweet dreams, my man. Don;t be so anxious. Everything went well the last time you were out there and I'm sure all will be okay again.

One day at a time Rami, and you'll get there.

Hope this time round the results are 'gooder'.

Had to grin at your Operating Table 'nightmare'.

I've been binge watching the BBC 'Silent Witness Series' from the very beginning intermingled with the assorted 'Mayday Air Crash' collections: great recipe for some colorful and sweaty 'dreams'!

Keep us up to date please.

John,

I’m convinced there are a significant portion of dentists who watch Marathon Man at night in a dark room with a bottle of lotion and a box of Kleenex. And they ain’t crying. :biggrin-new:
