The best thing they can do maybe is put you in a pressure chamber (Hyperbaric) and let your lungs and heart recover. I wouldn't let them give you any drugs at this stage.
I used to go to the altitude chamber (Hypo-baric) every three years on flying duty, and I found it fixed my intestines as they blew up to 10 times their normal size and got all the kinks out.
But that was less pressure, you need more. New Mexico may be too high an altitude for you, and you need to move to the coast.
Thanks everyone. Sam and I arrived a few minutes ago. Just spoke with the docs. He's not in great shape right now but there is hope. Please keep the prayers coming.
Keeping you in my thoughts. Have the same problem . . . COPD, Congestive Heart Failure. Know your struggle . . . but it can be lived with. Hang in there, Brother.
SN1 and SN2, glad you guys made it safely. Still sending prayers from here in Atlanta and thinking positive thoughts about your dad. Thanks for keeping us updated
I came from Jim (Suldog's) blog to let you know that I bow my head and my heart in prayer for you. I pray that God will give you clean breaths....comfort and peace beyond all measure....and I pray that you will rest easier. Please, know that I will continue to pray for you. "Dear Lord. I pray for Buck right now in this moment. I pray that you will help him with his breathing as only You can do. I pray in the name of Jesus, my Lord. Amen." Sending you gentle hugs.... Jackie
Aww Buck, this was the biggest cry I have had in a long time. Good friends are nearly impossible to find these days so please bounce back soon, okay? My serious prayers are with you and the boys. Lin
You're not alone, bud. We're all with you.
ReplyDeleteJesus, Buck. I thought you were seeing your Doc this week. Don't hesitate to call EMS and get to the hospital if it gets too bad!
ReplyDeleteBuck/ Just talked to my wife the RN She said it sounds like congestive heart failure and that you should be in the hospital! Call & go now!!
DeleteVirgil, great catch by you and your wife. Hopefully, you may have saved Buck's life.
DeleteAnyone here who reads this and has Bucks phone number, please give him a call and tell him to get to the hospital!
ReplyDeleteNoted, Virgil, and thanks. I'm on my way to the ER as we speak.
DeleteHang in there Buck.
