Is this true, Em?

Is there something you could do with the helmet so you don’t skin your knuckles? Maybe somewhere you could put it?

When someone pisses me off on the ice, I need to throw down immediately. That ferocious is my temper.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

I’ve been beaten, bones broken, stabbed, tendons ripped and sliced, well over 500 stitches, 11 surgeries, hit by a car, etc… and none of that compared to viral meningitis. [/quote]

Dude.

500 stitches.

You need to work on your people management skills and whatnot…

[/quote]

Shit, I had six stitches in my hand when I wrote that post! Just got them out yesterday. LOL
[/quote]

I have a hundred across my abdomen wall and small intestine (most of the stitches are layered to keep stuff from spilling out of my stomach) at this point and five staples (and a few random stitches on the edge of the wound) across the dermis with my five inch stab wound.

Not to mention all the dozens of stitches that closed my intestines/rectum over the past seven months. Glad I can finally shit correctly.

Yeah, dude, who the hell stabbed you and why?

I only got stabbed in my extremities (hand, arm, other arm, shin, neck) and got cut superficially half a dozen times on my arms chest and face. Never took one to the gut. Fuck. That.

I wish you a full recovery, buddy.

LOL So AC, I take it your ability to read people and take in, er I can’t remember how you stated it in the past, the energy and flow of a social group, was a learned ability. Not one that came naturally to you?

The amygdala is the part of the brain most closely associated with fear and pain tolerance. Psychopaths have the highest tolerance to pain due to the fact that this area of their brain is underdeveloped or damaged.

LOL not really, I was always kind of a natural when it came to banging chicks and having fun at a party - I can “see the matrix of social dynamics”, I believe is what you were looking for.

Most of the reasons I got into it with people in prison was that either they were trying to rape me or they owed me money and it was cheaper to kill me than to pay me. Of course there was also the occasional “beef” over real or imagined slights that just had to be handled the hard way, but I was able to manage those fairly well. But when someone comes up to you and says, “blood on my knife or shit on my dick” I’ll take my chances with getting blood on either his knife or mine every time.

Nope. Although many women I’ve known seem to suffer from Histrionic Personality Disorder:

“Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive emotions and attention-seeking, including inappropriately seductive behavior and an excessive need for approval, usually beginning in early adulthood. People affected by HPD are lively, dramatic, vivacious, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. HPD affects four times as many women as men.”

Nymphos often tend to exhibit these symptoms.

Yeah, I guess I haven’t been on here very much because of all that stuff. I have ulcerative colitis. Well, I did, now I am cured. But, this summer I bled out internally several times so bad that I had to go to the ER (because I passed out) and be admitted while they gave me units of blood.

Eventually, in September my GI Doc told me to go up to St. Louis and talk to the surgeon, most likely I would have a surgery. I had two strokes, killed part of my left brain and I had aphasia and my right arm from elbow to finger tips was completely weak/numb to any stimuli. I finally got the strength back and my arm can feel about 40% of what the other arm can, now.

November 13th, I had my first surgery (total colectomy: removed my entire colon) and I came away with a ten inch incision on the bottom of my stomach (kind of looks like the incision that c-sections have that goes horizontal on the bottom of the belly) and a ileostomy (stoma, basically eliminated in a bag attached to my stomach). Also had a jp tube hole on my left side and a two inch incision above my belly button.

March 6th, I had my second surgery where they started to reconstruct my small intestine to form a fake colon. Came away with another ten incision, jp tube hole, two inch incision above belly button and a new ileostomy (which each stoma had stitches around the abdominal wall and around the dermis on the underside (usually hidden)).

In June, I had my last surgery (I had one minor surgery in between). This one came with a five inch incision and a reduced ileostomy (no bag anymore). So, I’ll ask my doctor in a few days how many stitches I have had total but I am assuming around 1000 (two ten inch incisions and one five inch one, plus two jp tubes and two 2" incisions, plus the rectum closer after the first surgery, and finally the created a J-pouch on the second surgery where they cut about 16 inches of my small intestine in half, folded it in half and sowed it up and then cut my rectum in half and sowed the bottom of the J-pouch to my rectum).

The past year I have been in constant pain from either ulcers in my ass bleeding out or post-op recovery. But, thankfully the pain will finally subside in about three to six months after my ass gets used to going to the bathroom again.

Thanks, it was more than a stab wound, but when they closed me up during my last surgery they had to cut the wound open a little more so that the muscle/skin could heal and come together.

54

Well that is likely the most horrible experience I have read on here or ever for that matter. I cannot imagine having to endure something like that. I was just bitching to my friend about taking a spanish class in the summer and how awful that was. Thanks for putting things in perspective. Hopefully they gave you a great cocktail of pharmaceuticals to help cope with the pain. I had no idea ulcerative colitis was so devastating. Anyways good luck with your recovery glad things are looking better for you.

Chris hats off, didnt know you were going through that, should have dropped me a line on G+ or FB man.

A-Rod. Spend some time in a hospital and you will gain some perspective on life for sure.

Maximus on here has had some similiar surgeries if I remember.

57

Damn, Chris. I can’t even imagine what you’ve been through.

I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Should have, but it was tough enough to get through the day. Plus after the stroke my memory is much worse than before. If I don’t write it down on my calendar, I rarely do it.

It was not to difficult for me, just slightly annoying that I was at 10-25% of what I was before. Yes, I have had plenty of MonoMorphone, Morphine, Percocet and other pain killers. Even had three epidurals. There is no loopiness with that, but it’s pretty awesome when you can stand up and walk around like nothing hurts right after surgery.
