Another member in need of cheering-up.
Oldgixxer will be undergoing a nasty male procedure and currently in a lot of pain.
He could use a bit of cheering-up right about now. I'll let him explain. |

I am truly sorry to hear about your predicament. With medicine being what it is today I am sure that you will beat this, and be back to slinging snark in no time. Grit your teeth and hang in there, you have a lot of friends pulling for you.

Ouch. Old age seems to be catching up with a few of us lately. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Oldgixxer.

Oldgixxer , wishing you a speedy recovery and I hope you're treated well by the medical staff the whole way thru.
We never did get that ride going, but I'm sure you'll get back on two wheels soon enough!!

Hey thanks for the thread and well-wishes Lady Jane,and all who replied I want to say thank you for the well wishes too.
Long story short,I was diagnosed w stage 3 testicular cancer back in August. Totally took my family by surprise. I had a mass removed from my neck near my clavicle that was malignant. I had that removed,had a chemo-port surgically installed in my chest end of Sept at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville,Fla end of September and started a chemo regiment for 9wks. My body rejected a total of 3 ports over the 9wk chemo cycle. The last port was put in Veterans Day and shortly after I had my last round of chemo,then a few days later became extremely ill. I was stubborn yet in significant pain and after 6 days my wife forced me to the ER since I had turned a nice shade of yellow from jaundice and my internal organs beginning to shut down. At the ER they removed the port from my chest as it was infected,dripping with puss. Turns out that gave me a staph infection and ultimately MRSA.Was in the hospital from 11/27-12/7 and was released to do at-home antibiotics for 3wks. Happy Holidays for the Oldgixxer fam. Was doing ok until nasty lumbar pain set in a few weeks ago. Now I needed a walker to get around. As my lumbar spine is fused from L2-S1 I didn't know wtf was up so I just dealt with it til I saw an ortho who diagnosed me w Discitis. I planned on moving fwd with my scheduled orchiectomy (google) a few days later. Upon arrival at Mayo for the orchiectomy they were at 1st ok w moving fwd w the procedure then ultimately decided against it and admitted me on the spot to treat the discitis which was last Monday the 19th. Tests,and a painful needle biopsy into my T12 vertebrae showed the MRSA had settled into my spine. I was discharged yesterday and I'm home now with my wife giving me IV antibiotics every 12hrs through a PICC line. The pain is immense. I'm barely mobile. The infection(both times) ate me up;I lost 40lbs due to the MRSA and have a lot of issues I'm dealing with. The Dr's say the 8wks of 2x daily antibiotics will eradicate the infection but I dunno. I haven't driven my X3MC since mid November and decided to sell it back to BMW a few weeks ago,had a lot of positive equity in it so instead of sitting there collecting dust making a lease payment to sit in the garage for who knows how long didn't make sense. The drive to the dealer was extremely hard on my MRSA infected spine. I plan on getting something new once I'm done w the IV meds in April if I pull through. Looks like it'll be a 2025 X5MC. I've only been on the forum a couple times since this all happened and literally just saw this thread. Thank you for all the well wishes and kind words everyone,much appreciated

Damn. Sounds like a terrible experience but you looking forward and working towards getting better is admirable, inspirational, and most of all, a great mentality for you to have in order to persevere. Glad to hear you haven't given in to despair.
You got this! Wishing you and your family the best as your health improves. Looks like you have an amazing support system to help you get thru this difficult time.

Thanks for the update, you're very strong going through all that. I hate this disease, hope you can kick its butt and run it over a few times with your gixxer!

Dang, hoping the MRSA clears up to reduce some pain.
I bet that 40lbs was all the muscle you've spent years developing. At least now *I* have a chance to look better than you Once it's all cleared up, you may want to talk to a lawyer. MRSA/pain/trauma of the malpractice could buy you that new X!
