I started with the smoker's cough...

I started with the smoker's cough, then I would get bronchitis/pneumonia. That was about 40? Now I have been intubated, tubes down my throat, arm tied to the bed rails in the ICU 5 days, wake up you have panic because of the tubes you want to tank them out but you can't. You're panicking all this time, choking trying to get those hands so you can pull them out.

I've had rectal bleeding, lost 6 liters the first time, it happened more times. I have had 22 liters of blood, I had a tube put up my nose and had to swallow it, that was for the stomach. I have a fistula in my colon, a hole that leaks stool into my body then I would get septic. Many people die from this, I had it many times. 2 more times ICU, I just had a pick line in my arm, many many times but this one was 7 months antibiotic. I have very thin skin if I scratch my arms they bleed. Mother/father/uncle died from lung cancer, my wife had lung cancer 10 months ago - cancer free to this point. They cut off the bottom of her lung.

I am now starting to have trouble eating, can't breathe well. Sometimes a tiny little piece of hamburger will stay in my throat. When I got septic I had antibiotics 4 times a day. There's lots more but I am very tired now. Go to YouTube and type in Grainger Hebshie, that is me 4 months ago. I hope I did not bore anyone but you asked and I want to help anyone I can. God bless us all.
