I'm Not Dead

[McSatan]

That's been a humdinger of a year since last March. Throat cancer, malnutrition, sepsis and pneumonia. 18 stone to 9 stone. 8 weeks in hospital, blood transfusions, two pipes in my back to drain my lungs, pressure sore on my back down to the bone, drinking 80mg Oxycodone shots all day and night, IV antibiotics etc etc. I nearly died.

But I didn't. I'm back, baby

I'm just surprised you can get purple hair on the NHS now.

I'm surprised after all that lot ^^^ that there's any hair left to dye purple!

[Sunny]

If you're going to do it, do it in style

Glad you're not dead

[McNab]

Good to see you back.

Some fell out but grew back. More of a bastard is having hardly any salivary glands, they were burnt out by 31 continuous days of radiotherapy. That, along with a badly scarred throat makes swallowing difficult.

Yumpin' yiminy! What, with all that and a dose of sepsis chucked in for good measure you've survived more potentially lethal assaults than Rasputin did.

Hope your rehab is on track. You're probably ready for a nice quiet holiday with a good book or two!

[Rockburner]

I was wondering where you'd got to! Good to know you're still kicking and screaming!

[Cousin Jack]

Bloody hell ! You don't do half measures do you. Most of us moan a bit with man flu.

Good to see you back.

[Skub]

Needz a purple goatee.

Genuinely good to see you well McSanta.

Yeah, that.

I'll add throat cancer, malnutrition, sepsis and pneumonia to the list of effective (but not recommended) ways to lose weight.

[Taipan]

Ha! Glad you're still spitting in deaths face. Top man!

[crust]

Top work on swerving the grim reaper's attempts.

How's the woodland?

[IccyV2]

Great news, glad to hear.

I'm recovering from my own similar issue, I don't want to talk about it, it's been grim and I stepped away from here to deal with it because I was losing my mind and being too much of a prick (even more than usual) under all the stress.
I'm still trying to get off the Oxys, addiction (even for genuine reasons) is a bitch.

But this isn't about me, it's about you and great to see you still this side of the ground.
God bless you brother.

[the_priest]

Well done! Now work on getting back into good shape for woodland wanders and sunset drinks with the loved ones.

At least you have hair to dye!!

Saw a friend yesterday who's been through a lot of treatment, with hair loss. Starts another lot today, likely the same side effect.

But, as she delights in reminding her husband, at least hers will grow back
