AFTER 07 NATIONALS
After ’07 nationals all the wheelchair bodybuilders went to Outback stake house, I started having feeling a cold feeling, the night before I felt sick. I thought it was because off all the brown rice I had been eating. During Saturday night my sides started hurting, by morning came my ribs really hurt when I’d breath in. I thought I could make it home, at the Palm beach airport I had to wait four hours for my flight, no big deal, but the pain was so bad I couldn’t breath. My vision was grey and there was no where to lie down. I have had kidney stones two times in my life and both times I had to go to the E.R. because of the pain, but this pain was unbelievable. It was like doing hard crunchs and not being able to stop. Finally my dad and I boarded the plane, the pain grew. Before we reached Atlanta the pain was so bad that they gave me oxygen, they called for a medical team to meet the plane. They took me to the E.R. I had pneumonia, I had fluid around my lungs and Paracardioitis water around my heart, both increasing. I spent five days in ICU in Atlanta. All the doctors told me I could’ve died. I don’t think so, I’m coming back and kicking YOUR ASS!

Are you OK? How about you training? That sounds like it came on fast.

glad you got the proper care you needed. a lot of people (myself included) sometimes think "I will be fine," or "I;ll get over it" until it gets much worse and really hurts us. Hope you at lease got to enjoy the outback dinner a bit!

I’m o.k. I hate to say it , but most people with C.P. die from this and even alot of people with out it die from it too. If I hadn’t been in shap/ bodybuilding- I could have easily died. so they say,
