My dad was pretty lucky, he didn't need any of this when he had his infection a few years ago. I wonder if you need to do IV antibiotics for a while, my dad was on them for a little over 6 months twice a day. Downside is that it pretty much killed his tastebuds. Had to have a nurse come in once a week to clean out his port and check to make sure things were going well. We would give him the saline, then antibiotics, then another saline to wash out the lines. Got to the routine point for us, but the stuff had to be delivered every week. The VA handled all that for us, made it easy. The hospital wanted to keep him for the entire time and the VA doctors convinced them that it wasn't an issue and provided the drugs and nurse. We were pretty lucky and got him to the hospital early based on reading your tale, probably saved his life so I will always thank you for that. He turned 80 last month. My thoughts are with you guys. | ||

How's he hanging in the mean time, you know, waiting? Hopefully getting some relief? Could he try our campfire sinus antiseptic/pain reliever/feel good MEDICINE. One large dollop BenGay muscle rub directly on the upper lip/ mustache area, followed by generous sips of mountain clear out of a Mason jar, all the while breathing through the nose. Never been a better antiseptic for the sinus cavity. I think others can attest. | ||

  IIRC, Dave's meds unfortunately disallow that treatment. Perhaps some "Worry Be Gone"?  | ||

I know this is a hard time for Glitch and we all hope and pray for him. I am also asking for prayers for one of my sisters. She has been fighting brain cancer for more than fifteen years. She is the sweetest and strongest person I know. This last month she said she didn't want any more treatments. The doctors give her two to three months. Thank you. Greg | ||

Greg, I'll be praying for you and your family. My cousin has had leukemia for almost 20 years. He has had multiple brain surgeries as well. 15 years ago, the doctors gave him a year, maybe 18 months. His faith has driven him this far. Don't give up. | ||

Awesome skull bunny glitch badness graphic art there. I don't know what it is and I never met you but hope the operation goes well and your quality of life improves after it all. | ||

Greg, don't hesitate to lean on your friends and family to see her through this passage, including us. Prayers up and ongoing, friend. | ||

Thank you Ann for sharing. It sounds like welcome relief is on the way at the expense of some temporary pain and suffering through the recovery, but we know all too well how Dave deals with pain and suffering. He endures and overcomes. His character is strong, and his will to conquer such a challenge near unbreakable. After all, others have done so, and Dave has so much to live for, being so blessed with you and family and friends. I'm praying to the author and sustainer of creation and the savior of us all that His spirit may enter, sustain and empower you all, that the surgeon's hand remain true, and that Dave's recovery be quick and strong. I'm being selfish too. I want to meet y'all in person before we depart this life. Please tell us and let us help if you are want for anything. (Message edited by blake on February 10, 2019) | ||

Gerard, the art work is from Glitch. Prior to his first round of brain surgery a few years back, he was quite an artist designing t shirt art,lables,and logos and such. After that surgery his recovery was in question. For months he could not talk, walk, or feed himself. Anne, his wonderful wife had to do everything for him. She communicated with the members of BadWeB here for him. As I recall, his first drawing, still before he could talk, was that top one. He explained it a few weeks later as his miraculous recovery was taking hold. That was him " kicking Death's ass". A great first communication from where it was not expected he would even return. The second graphic illustration was his done a year or so later for a Buell gathering, a design for a t shirt. An annual meet up in Suches Ga, wherein he and his wife were for several years a major part of organizing 'March Badness'. The name of the meet became 'Glitch Badness' the last couple of years. | ||

OIC, Glitch is the quick March Hare, very clever. Surgery and recovery are tough on patients and the caregivers. I wish you all luck and courage. | ||

Yeppers, he's quick! The last time I got to ride with him was my first BITA (Buells In The Alps, Little Switzerland NC), and he was in a group led by certified maniac NoRice and his woman... I cooked the rear brake on my Triumph Sprint ST trying to keep up. He's not allowed to ride street anymore, truly a tragedy- not only for him, but for all of us too. Hey Anne/Glitch, is there at least a "fiddy" or maybe a small displacement thumper out there in the woods? I do know there are toys out there... | ||

I am also asking for prayers for one of my sisters. Greg, I've added your sister, you and your family to my prayer list. Thank you for asking. Blake: Beautiful words, amigo. | ||

My heart is so full. You guys never cease to amaze me. Once again, I am humbled and encouraged by the outpouring of genuine support and love among this group. We love you all! He's been pretty miserable the last few weeks. The doctor took him off of antibiotics because he didn't want to make a resistance for the antibiotics he's going to need after surgery. About the only thing he can take is Mucinex, but it doesn't help too much since the sinuses don't drain. It relieves a bit of the pressure, but not really. Because of all the gunk in there, he's been dealing with a bit of vertigo. In a nutshell, he feels like crap. Today was pre-op day. Nothing really to report - just a lot of sign here, initial here and here's your instructions for next Wednesday. They did tell us today that even though this is being done as an outpatient surgery, there is the possibility that the doctor may want him to stay overnight, so pack a bag just in case. It's being done at Eastside Medical in Snellville and they are absolutely amazing. Can't say enough good things about them. I kid you not, we lived 2 blocks from Gwinnett Medical, but would drive 20 minutes in the other direction to go to Eastside for any emergency care over the years. That being said, the hospital, along with Dr. Hoddeson, will not hesitate to admit him overnight if it looks like he might need extra care or more extensive pain management. This is the same hospital where his brain surgery and recovery took place. He's kind of a legend there (wink,wink!) They truly saved his life. It is a great relief and comfort to have complete confidence in your care team. I have thought of something we could use from you guys that would be helpful. Cards! He loves getting them! Our new address is 4802 Calibre Creek Parkway, Roswell, GA 30076. They'll certainly boost his spirits while he's laid up! I will sho nuff be back on Wednesday with an update once I'm able to let y'all know how everything went. Hugs! | ||

Greg: Prayers for comfort, strength, and peace for your sister and your whole family. Her decision to stop treatments sounds like she's accepted the inevitable. And that, in itself, can hold a peace and sense of freedom to her. (Lost my dad to lung cancer in 2008. He too decided to stop treatment. He wanted his last days with his family to be as full as possible - not sick from the chemo. It was a way for him to have some control over the cancer.) May I ask her name? I would like to add her to our prayer list at my church. | ||
| Gregtonn |
Thank you so much. Her name is Diane Thorpe. Greg | ||

This is the last track on the Steel Woods' CD, "Old News". The last 3 songs are covers. One copy heading to N. GA, and I recommend everyone order a disc- those that love guitar, southern rock, studio geeks, and lyricists. The title song in particular. | ||
| 86129squids |
Glitch, Anne- I've been listening to my copy of that disc heavily, it's truly superb, but be advised, the lyrics are very powerful. I've not run across a band with such incredible songwriting in a long, long time. Next time they come to town for a show, GOING. I advise the same to all youn's.  | ||

Prayers and dreams deployed. This evening after work, I learned of a great friend passing. Dunk was just the salt of the earth... a legendary HD mechanic, retired USMC. Pray for his family. | ||
| Glitch |
Thank you everyone! Matthew, that thing is great! Once I figured out it wasn't a mini Rubik's Cube... Who knew they made hi-tech worry stones? Thank you. Brad, the CD is great. We definitely have similar taste in music. Thank you. All the cards! Thanks everyone! I love cards, looks like Ann already told y'all that. FB&D y'all are awesome. Tomorrow is the day. It's really nice to know there are people thinking of you in the time of need. Thank you thank you thank you. |
