I hope they check his urine and do some blood cultures......sounds like he is getting decent care, just want to be sure he is not getting septicemia (blood infection), he is obviously a trooper with all he has been through, he is waking up confused and the fever may not be helping that. Godspeed TBone, hang in there!!!!!

Thanks for the updates.... I'm in for something... Johns presence is missed on AS every time I get a chance to log on.
I have a bunch stuff. If you competent guys decide to build him something, ask for parts and they will come your way ASAP.

blood infections
Blood infections are serious. There is a bad one...google 'CRE' antibiotic resistant infections. I had one in 1st week of Jan 2013. Once they find the most effective drug to fight the infection, he'll have IV daily for a month or more once out the hospital. Mine was 7 days in hospital + 44 days IV @ home @ over 600$/day for meds (@ home). Thank God for good insurance, but 9 mos later I'm still paying off drs. We may consider donations of $ for his assistance.
The doctors never found a source of my 'infection entry point', but as a fellow tree cutter, we all know the germs and stuff we're exposed to. I had 2 staff infections in 2012 & the drs finally surmised that the infection 'colonized' in my ankle which was injured in 1977 in a motorcycle accident. if anyone gets a staff infection, take all meds + follow up with more blood work to make sure the gremlins are gone.
T-Bone sounds like a true leader & friend & he'll need support in all kinds of ways.

While I am broke I think this is a great offer. I'll be bringing a 50cc saw to wiggs gtg. I'd be happy to donate it to raffle. It won't be a daily cutting saw it's geared more torwards play. If I'm sure it'll hold together I'll post it up either for raffle or have a little auction.

This I can do. Let me play around with some plastics from an 026 I have here. I think we should change Turbo to "Slugster" though...........
Too bad Turbo is a snail....LOL
