On May 27, I left North Carolina headed north to participate in a peaceful protest. Yep, that’s right……I am a hippy. After the 11.5 hours drive and a short spell of sleep, I joined the group I went to meet. Our protest was good, drew attention, but was peaceful. Unfortunately, there’s an idiot in every crowd. Some pissed off who-ha in a big 4WD SUV decided to shoot into the crowd blindly and I was one of 7 that got hit. None of us fatal.
On that Saturday, May 29, my brother also had a massive heart attack, kidney failure and went into a diabetic coma while I was unconscious in some hospital where they didn’t know my name. (baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad idea to not carry ID). When I woke up Sunday night and located a seriously over run message system on my phone I found out what happened. The next morning the doctors came in to talk to me about removing the bullet from my groin, and wanted to cut me from appetite to *******. Since they didn’t know beans about me, my immune system or apparently guns, I declined their services and checked myself out that evening with the minor infection that was setting up in the wound. Yeah me right!!!!!
Several hours into my trip back down south, I was instructed to go to where my family lives due to an emergency. This is where I spent the next 3 weeks dealing with some personal issues.
After a minor surgery and some heavy duty antibiotics I’m back on my feet and I suppose you could call this healing. Funny how the doc’s version of fine, and mine of “hurts like hell” have the same meaning.
While I was away for almost a month, I managed to sell off a lot of my stock or move it. I’m actually down a few hundred animals and only have a few left. Funny how things sneak up on you.
5 dragons
23 gex (of all species)
3 collards
3 pd frogs
5 balls
7 corns
4 boas
I gotta tell ya......it's been a h_ll of a ride.
Wow when you said you had been "dealing with some things" I didn't quite expect it to be that extent.
Glad you are healing, I never been shot directly, grazed once but thats a different animal entirely. Congrats on rehoming your animals.
I didn't notice any further info in regards to your brother. Has he come out of the coma?
I wish you all the best.
