Religious tilapia? Now there's a marketing ploy if I ever saw one! Bill be careful you're giving Ken Holyoke ideas!
Rex glad to see you're doing better!

Cecil, Tilapia is known worldwide by it's more common name....The Jesus fish. It is widely accepted tilapia are the fish Jesus fed the masses after telling the fisherman to cast out their nets.
Heart rate is stable finally and I am now out of the ICU. Next on the list of fixes is the lungs.

Rex
Sorry been out for the last 9 days in MT. I emailed you, but wanted to double up my thoughts and prayers on the forum. I am relieved to hear you are on the mend.

Rex, some advice from a guy that has spent a total of 16 days in the hospital this year, let me give you some advice .... Keep a positive attitude - best med ever! Sweet talk your nurses - pays huge dividends! The reason hospital food is so bad is they want you outta there - and so do we!!! Get well soon my friend.

I got to speak w/ Rex yesterday. He sounds surprisingly strong on the phone. He's keeping his spirits up. He had Cathy and some of his grandkids there with him.

Rex glad to hear your doing better, hope you get to break out of there soon. Remember sweet talking the nurses can be a plus, but not when your wife is there, that could end up biting you in the butt.

Rex, tilapia are so fertile that they can feed the world, right? At least the equatorial world.

Cecil, Tilapia is known worldwide by it's more common name....The Jesus fish. It is widely accepted tilapia are the fish Jesus fed the masses after telling the fisherman to cast out their nets. Come to think of that I have read that somewhere. Heart rate is stable finally and I am now out of the ICU. Next on the list of fixes is the lungs. Get well soon! I have thousands of Bairdello bluegills available to you at some point. Good numbers in three different ponds. Just need to know what size you want them at if you're interested. I may get them tested this fall or next spring. VHS testing is good for one year.

Rex, Are you still in the hospital? I'd like to call you but I know you need your rest also. Anyway , Good luck . Lots of rest is the best way to heal your body.
Also, give the good looking nurse a pinch!!! Blame it on the drugs. She might pinch you back kinda like you did Mason!
Get well bud.

Get well bud. Mark, yea, I'm still in the hospital. The heart and lungs have cleared up, but my liver got jealous and wants to play now. I have another ultrasound scheduled this morning on the liver and if it is not worse, I hope to head home today. The doctors still think what nearly killed me was a severe allergic reaction to Bactrim (sulfa based drugs). It also seems I had Rocky Mountain Spotted fever that had been dormant until the reaction lowered my immunity and it also began to rage out of control. Thanks again to the PB family for all the prayers!!! To whomever sent a letter addressed to "Rainman Rex" from Louisianna----God bless you and I thank you very much!!!!

Symptoms usually develop about 2 to 14 days after the tick bite. They may include: Chills Fever Severe headache Muscle pain Mental confusionRash -- usually starts a few days after the fever; first appears on wrists and ankles as spots that are 1 - 5 mm in diameter, then spreads to most of the body. About one-third of infected people do not get a rash at all. Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease: Abnormal sensitivity to light Diarrhea Excessive thirst HallucinationsLoss of appetite Nausea Vomiting So THAT explains some of the fish deliveries!! The quicker you get out of there, the better. I'm pullin for ya!

Rex, thats great news about your heart and lungs. Are your heart muscles alright? Viral infestions are a b--ch. I got my fingers crossed for your liver too.
Do those blood people come in at about 4:00 am in the morning still? Man, I hated that..
Anyway, good luck on your ultrasound. We're pulling for you.

I've been gone for a week and just saw this thread. Ricki and I are sending our love and prayers to you Rex.
And I promise that I shall refrain from any GSA activities that might have affected your physical and or mental condition until you are back at peak condition (which is a shame because I have almost perfected my nuclear itching powder formula).
Get well soon my friend!

I finally got to come home yesterday. It was nice to get some uninteruppted sleep!!!
Who would have guessed that at nearly 50 I'd devolop a severe allergy to a common antibiotic?
The final discharge diagnosis is congestive heart failure from 10 days of heart muscle dying due to the allergic reaction. The liver was effected as well but seems to have stabilized now. Only time will tell if the damaged areas will regenerate or not.
I guess I'm holding true to my beliefs that if you are going to do something...go all out!!!
Thanks again for all the prayers and support....They made a difference!
