Unfortunately I had a lot of complications and stayed in the hospital for one year to recover. I had multiple organ failures and almost died three times. I started rehab after that for another year. Now I feel much better , I am very lucky to be alive. My wife had to leave her job for three years to take care of me, until I went back to work. It is a mircale that I am doing better now. Everyone thinks that I am a mircale person, and I belive it too. I became diabetic of course and I take insulin with evry meal. I eat normal with enzime bills and check my blood sugar 4 times a day. I use insulin pump to deliver insulin based on my carb intake. I found it very easy to use the pump and less hastle than injections. My main problem now is that I am always tired and short of breath and energy. My right lung has a scare from the surgery which affect my breathing, but otherwise the Doctor said it is ok. Following this bad experience I had major depression which took some time to get better. I just wonder if there is any thing to help with my energy and the tirdeness. Appreciate any comments or tips that might help. Samy11 Sat, 08 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT
