Guest guest Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Just an update on what happened to me in the hosp. I just seen a thread at my Thyroid Forum that I did not notice. http://forums.realthyroidhelp.com/vi...hp?f=2 & t=10475 Hardasnails posted the following and my reply is below this. I just want to thank all of you again for praying for me and my recovery. ===================================== Phils wonderful wife gave me a call and basically told me phil is lucky to be alive. He had 85% and 100% blockage in valves. After the operation he then got a staff infection and will be in hospital for another 2-3 weeks. He almost did not make it because they almost did not perform the operation because of the bone were so deteriorated FROM SELF ADMINSTRATION OF CORTISOL..DR's EXACT WORDS..His bone were so brittle that they his sternum almost calapsed, but the plastic surgeoun was able to safe it. LET THIS BE A LESSON LEARNED BY CHASING AND SELF ADMINSTRATION DRUGS NOT KNOWING THE LONG TERM SIDE EFFECTS>>>>GOD SPEED PHIL. ===================================== Wow what a strong thread here I can't tell you how good it feels to know so many people were pulling for me. This is the first time I seen this thread. But let me point out some things about my wife she is the reason I am here today if it were not for her I would be dead and gone. She was by my side day and night and my to daughters. I was never left alone in the Hosp. At times when the Dr.'s wanted to give up on me my Wife threatened them with a law suit. As for what Hardasnails said in the first part of this thread, yes my Wife told him what the Dr.'s told her the my bones would not hold the wire they used to hold my chest together. They told her it was the steroids I was taking that did this to my bones. And in saying this to her it just set her off saying I told him something would happen and go wrong on them hormones. She has a bad taste in her mouth about hormones because of the HRT she was on for her change in life. They had her on the meds that cause breast cancer in women and she was pulled for her HRT left to crash. Not one of the Dr.'s she was seeing would say there are other safe hormones she could get compounded and use. My bones being held together with wire became infected and this infection caused the bones to deteriorate. So the wire was ripping through the bones. They put a brace on you after this sugary with handles on each side of your chest so if you cough your to grab the handles and pull on them to hold your chest together. I did this every time I coughed. Still my bones became infected and when my wife asked why this happened they told her it was all the steroids I was on. And this is not what happened there is a 75% chance this could happen it happens all the time. They just did not catch it in time. I was out of ICU a week with this infection until it got so bad it dam near killed me. One reason for this is my Surgeon was out of town on Vac. for the holidays it was late Nov. when I had the by pass sugary. The dam Hosp. Dr.'s missed this and were the reason the wire pulled away from my bones. Had they caught this sooner and treated the infection the wire might have held. It was the Hosp. Heart Dr. that told my wife it was due to the steroids I was on what a joke. So after they dam near killed me I went back in sugary and because I was on a blood thinner they had to keep me sedated on the med that they think Michale might have been on that killed him Proposol. I was out cold on this with my chest open for 14 weeks. The first thing they did when the blood thinner was out of my blood was to put in a steel plate to hold my ribs together. This did not work because the damage done to my bones in this area due to the infection. The screws would not hold and pulled apart and punched a vessel and I was bleeding to death. So back in sugary still out could and laying there with my chest open because they put me back on blood thinners again after the plate was put in. So to make a long story short if it were not for my Wife and Kids I would not be here. They told the Dr.'s I started bleeding though my chest and this saved my life I was full of blood in my chest and just made it back in to sugary. So after all this I was in ICU for 14 weeks and then in a therapy ward for 3 more weeks the able to come home. Hardasnails is a good friend and my wife thinks we are nuts posting and talking about this day in and day out. Still after all this she still does not like my posting and helping people on the forums. This is her problem not mine she is a good wife and dam happy I came though this and am back home. Yesterday I had a 2D scan on my heart and every thing good dam good. I am lucky my Heart Dr. was an Endo in Italy and was treating people for Hypopituitary and Hormone problems when he came to the USA he found there was not much use for a Dr. like this and swifted to be a heart Dr. It was my Heart Dr that told me when I seen him after getting out of the hosp. From my chart he had a copy of it from the hosp. what happened to me. He said had he knew that they pulled me off my HCG and Testosterone meds he would have stopped them from doing this. But after he tried to do the Coronary angioplasty and could not do it was out of his hands. But Heart surgeon's don't believe in TRT and Pituitary problems they are legends in the own minds. The first thing I did before having the Coronary angioplasty was to have my chart Red Lined for Adrenal Insufficiency. And to make dam sure every time I went in for sugary to give me a big dose of Medrol before and after sugary so I could not die from Adrenal Crisis. This was done 5 times and my HC meds in the ICU were kept up. What they did was to stop my HCG and Testosterone shots saying this would interfere with my recovery. They were dam wrong big time on this and I am mad as hell at my Family Dr. for letting them do this to me. I crashed big time and what happened to my bones was this. They used wire to hold my sternum together. After the the infection not being found in time and not being on my Testosterone meds my bones flailed fast. This is what my Heart Dr. told me that was an Endo at one time. So doing HC or cortef even Medrol does not hurt your bones. I pray this post makes sense I went over it 3 times my mind is just not right for a long post like this. And I can,t tell you enough how your prayers helped me get though this. I do believe in the power of praying so thanks for praying for me. > > > > >Good news I seen the Heart Dr. not the one that did the > > bypass sugary but the one that first seen me and tried to > > fix my blockage by doing a balloon-tipped catheter.
