How not to build a 750/1500 gallon build thread-Khaosinc 3/5/71-8/30/11

[erics3000]

I just found and read your hole thread. Wow what a ride so far. I loved the begining it was full speed ahead. Love your style. Please do take it slow and give your self the time you need to heal. I just had an infection in my foot and was down for a couple days. What a PITS that was. They think something got into a scratch i had. Funny a day after the scratch I cleaned my skimmer with sandals wonder if that had something that helped my infection.

Anyway I look forward to your build

I'm digging the Misfits shirt. I would'a thought they'd all worn away to dust by now. I hope you make a good recovery!

Just spent the last 2 days of work reading the thread at work. Even got the girl next to following along. That tank is gorgeous, love the rock work, Hope your feeling better. I work at a doctors off and almost got one of the other girls here to upchuck when i had the pick of your open chest up lol. Def subscribing and following. Best of luck.

You know, Khaos hasn't posted since the split. Maybe he hasn't found the new thread yet.

Hi guys, Tink here again.
K is in the hospital AGAIN.
He went to get his picc line fixed yesterday morning and was told he was being admitted again.
We are getting a lot of mixed information but from what we can make of it, he has a fungal infection in his blood (similar to a yeast infection if that makes sense)...probably triggered by the antibiotics.
Their concern is for the mechanical valves in his heart. Yeast likes artificial surfaces and they are doing a transesophagul echocardiogram today to see if there is any "vegetation" growing on the valves.
If so, they'd like to cut him open again. K is pretty fed up and threatening to just walk out if that's the case. I'm curious if there'd be a way to treat him without opening him up. That'd be three times in two months. I'm not sure how much trauma his body can take!
So let's just hope the test comes out negative. If so, they will probably send him home soon for home health care and more treatment through his picc line. That would be the best scenario.

Best of luck and many prayers out to you both!

 

[Eleez]

I hope that test comes out negative....best wishes to you both!

Hang in there!

THIS IS A REAL BAD INFECTION ........... I STAND MY GROUND BINGO FEVER GONE .............

 

[robot2222]

I AM NOT SAYING THAT YOU SHOULD DO THE SAME. BEFORE I WOULD LET THEM OPEN HIM UP AGAIN I WOULD HAVE THEM TAKE HIM OFF THE ANTIBIOTICS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS .BY THE WAY I AS IN SEATTLE WHEN I GOT HURT .

K, it's not like you to not reply in a couple of days. Hope you are feeling OK.

I knew there had to be something wrong as well.

Tink, thanks for the update and let K know we are thinking about him!

But nothing K can’t beat and be home real soon

O wow tink. I'm so sorry. I just said a little prayer for you and K.

Geesh! Can a brother catch a break!! I am thinking of you guys. Keep us posted.

 

[oldreefer76]

Hoping and praying for the best once again .........hang in there Buddy and also you Tink

 

[khaosinc]

Apperently I can't catch one. I have bugs they can't even identify.

Either way I am leaving the hospital tommorow. Doc's not very happy and I don't really care. I see no reason I have to sit here 24 hours a day to be monitered when I come in to this dang place every day. So I'm going AMA....

screw them.

be on when I can.

 

[skippy2]

I wish you the best of luck.
