Steve_S update.

Steve_S said:
Well folks. Here's a whallop of an update !

My recovery is progressing incredibly well after a few more specialists got involved. The multiple teams and their efforts have been beyond outstanding. In fact, I went for a walk yesterday... Non stop, a distance that I have not been able to do in over 3 years !. I can now take a full deep breath of air and my lung O2 level is sticking to 92-97% ... Prior I could reach 74% at best.

They brought in two specialists from out of province because my particular case was so complex, apparently this level of necrotizing pneumonia is extremely rare. They are writing it up for a medical journal.

Next, they have me on a trial for a new super antibiotic which I am responding to better than they hoped. Intravenous only and supposedly 3x stronger than anything else out there.

The cancer... Oi....
They decided to revisit all that massive mess as well. Well Holy Shit! Quite a bit is benign, some has slowed drastically but a couple are still hot (prostrate) for one. Terminal "EVENTUALLY" but chuck previous 5-7 year projections out the freakin door with a steel toe Boot.

Simply put... I AM IN SHOCK WITH ALL OF THIS... SO MUCH TO ABSORB. To believe even.... My goodness, since 2014 I've been thinking that I was dead in 5-7 years!!!!!!!!!!! WOW.

Last but not least... Yeah more !!!
It's 95% chance I'll be released to HOME this Friday ! I'm

What a 3 weeks +/- it's been. What an emotional, physical & mental whirlwind it's been.... And so much to absorb.

Well there it is.... Feel like passing out after writing this. "Overload".

Congrats Steve!
 
Thanks guys....

Thanks to the top notch medical teams here in one of the most advanced medical facilities in Canada ! This complex is actually 5 specialized hospitals glued together, teaching hospital and has some of the best teams in Canada.

And. All FREE thanks to universal health care.... I'd be mortified to think what all this cost.

You cannot convince most Americans of this but I have been abroad and seen people get really great care for free.
Great Medical Care and Free are two things that are diametric in the psyche of the American population so I guess this is why the drug companies and hospitals have such a tight grip on the system.

I do seem to."ruffle feathers" for the youtoob u wizbangs and armchair experts. My tolerance for misleading and garden path strolling will remain at zero.

The Steve_S-Tech series will continue to flesh out. Some of you may have noticed the waiver in there that bs, argument etc will not be tolerated.

Like a crusty ol' rust nail...... Hahaha. For some anyway.

I've always been an Open-source shareware freeware kind of guy in all my public projects, regardless of what they were. All started back in 1988 when I was running Bulletin Board System with 4800 baud dialup modems. Sharing of information & knowledge for the benefit of all without reservations or compensation.

That's why I wrote the Chargery bms stuff and helped them and now the JKBMS stuff and the Luyuan assembly guide etc. All of which some folks took issue with.

Never gonna stop me. Lol. Even when I was in ICU.... Sheesh what a nutbar.

Uh, glad your OK Steve, but all that care was not FREE. It was paid for by taxpayer dollars, and over worked and under paid medical workers.

Hey I like it. I've bookmarked a few to review whenever I finally get around to building out some of this stuff.

Every time someone brings this up, and every time it has to be pointed out that, yes, we know that, and that 'free' means 'free at the point of use'.

Awesome news Steve. Hadn’t seen you on the cabin forum for awhile and admit I was fearing the worst. Came here to look for news and it was fantastic
What a relief. Enjoy every day as none of us know what is going to happen
 
No, please no.

Let’s not turn this into a thread about socialized medicine, overworked etc.

Just no.

HUGE Congratulations to Steve on the latest developments. Keep on delivering knowledge in the old school, no BS fashion.

That is too rare nowadays IMHO.
 
Wow, what an amazing turnaround! Congratulations Steve, we're glad to hear you're recovering so well!
