Life is fragile. I’m a big strong SOB and pneumonia nearly killed me as well 3 years ago or so. Spent two days in the hospital and lost 30 lbs in ten days. I didn’t even care if I lived or not by the eighth day. I coughed up blood for four weeks afterwards. Lung function tests showed considerable damage. I learned to not try and tough it out as much after that. I look big and strong but I’m really squishy on the inside. Apparently.
 

I’m glad he pulled through. Scary stuff.

What was the emergency surgery?

I’d guess to clear the infection.

He went into septic shock as his bacterial infection overwhelmed his immune system which caused multiple organ dysfunction and acute respiratory failure requiring a ventilator. 

Based on the article, I don’t believe surgery was required.

I bet you stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

Yeh I hear you... last Chemo did that to me... right before, called my brother up crying, knowing what I was about to go thru...I rhetorically asked him to come get me and take me away so I didnt have to go.  PS He lives in Bay area, me near NYC.... Oh and ps it sucked being SOB and waking up with intense sternal pain, gastric pain and throwing up bile and blood, I'd take a puck off my ankle any day then then repeat that stuff and I wasnt near death.

Really glad that your as tough as you are and got through it. Your a Sabres fan though. Toughness comes with the membership.
