Get well soon Dan!!!

[Runs With Scissors]

I don't have any real "insider info" but I have a "suspicion", and that is all.

If my "suspicion" is correct, I would just like to say that I hope everything works out.

My thoughts and prayers are with you @TheOldHokie and your family.

(And if I am completely off base, then stop scaring us damn it, and correct some of these people!!!)

I saw this post this morning and it is a difficult one to reply to...

Wishing Dan the best if such wishes are due...well, actually wishing Dan the best in any event. His advice and help has been invaluable here at OTT.

Go Dan! Get better even if you feel fine!

 

[MOOTS]

Anyone heard from him? I see he hasn’t been on since Jan 8.
I hope all is well.

Thanks to all. I received a double lung transplant on 12/18 and am now in physical rehab and on the mend. The arctic blast postponed my return home by 4 days which is now set for 1/28. I told them if they could get me to the tractor i could get the lane open. Plowjng snow with an HST is easier than the crazy things physical therapists dream up

Godspeed to you on your recovery

 

[DustyRusty]

Good luck on the recovery. The tractor will wait till you are better and the cold is gone. No need to rush it, because your expertise will be needed on the forums, and off-tractor time will give you keyboard time. Best of luck going forward. Dusty

Glad you're doing well Dan, what the !@#$ caused you to need a new air system?

Pulmonary fibrosis - first diagnosed 1/22. Untreatablw, progressive, and fatal.

Its complicated by a large hiatel hernia and GERD that likely played a roll in the formation of the fibrosis. The plan is to repair the hernia as soon as my condition improves enough for that surgery. Mean time all my food and hydration is via tube

Wow, you have been missed here!
Sending wishes for a speedy recovery.

 

[Moose7060]

All the best on your recovery!

Hope you have a quick & pain free recovery, you've been missed!

All the best to you Dan and hope to see you make a full recovery ASAP.

Dan, thanks for posting. It's good to know what your dealing with instead of speculation. Your contribution to this forum is special. I'll be praying for your health to improve.

Thank you! The rather low level of pain from the incisions has surprised me. Now that the PT people havve me using those muscles its increased slightly but still needs nothing but a couple x-strength Tylenol

Dan - - glad to see you back. Sincere wishes for a speedy recovery.

With what you've gone through, a few days' discharge delay is just a small bump in the road.

Too damned cold to be venturing out anyway....

I can't imagine trying out new lungs in the cold we've been having (-10°F or below), it hurts to breathe as is!

Best Wishes Dan!
