Sad to say this hard to put into text on the forum. Christmas Day I was working around the house and thought I picked up a UTI of some sort. It got worse through the evening. The next morning its started to clear then turned into I can't urinate. I drove to the hospital and found out I've got a tumor in my bladder partially blocking the right ureter. Never the less I was outfitted with a catheter and sent home with an appointment for a specialist in Meridian, ID. The ran the camera in me and sure enough, there is a fair size growth. The plan is by next Wednesday to have it removed. 

 

I'm going be out of action for a while. Anyone local to me I would like to ask for assistance if possible. My Great BoD's here are going to have to pick up the operation of the site for a while. 

 

I'm alive and well for the most part. Shaken by this, Oh hell Yes! The huge burden of trying to take care of myself and MoparMom dialysis. Then the mental stress of it being possibly cancer. Today I'm going to try and just as much as possibly gain some strength so I can just keep trucking. I've got to keep rolling for MoparMom's sake. 

 

Again I'm tapping @BrianAtSmarty for the day of my operation being I will be in the hospital for at least two days. He's going to put us up at his place and shuttle MoparMom on my days I'm down.

I'm sure Nick is just kidding to cheer you up.

 

He had me laughing on the phone. Yes, I did get his joke.

But most definitely alkaline body naturally resists virus, virus likes sugars and low ph. Make body alkaline and eat healthy, it will heal itself. Just remember nothing happens in a day, it took years to get to this point, so it will take time to get better.

 

As for that, I've been trying my best to eat the best I can with all the road time. I typically can resist cold and flu bugs rather well I've got a strong immunity being I only had one minor cold last winter. I'm typically pretty good about keeping up with a multi-vitamin and just trying to eat the best I can on the road.

God spoke this place in to existence, that means vibration/frequency has power, so if you tell your self that you are fine every day it will play a role. We're made out of water and dirt/clay and water has been proven to have a memory and is affected by electricity, vibration, frequency even thought, may sound crazy but it's a fact.

 

I look at it a bit differently. The Good Lord gave me the talent to share with the world. I'm doing exactly that. I see that it will be the family members of the M73M that going help me through this. Basically, see it in reverse. I created the vibration, but the vibrations of the family members here are going to give me the strength to overcome this.  I've already talked to @JAG1 , @IBMobile and @dripley . All these wonderful people have been taking the stress off my mind and allowing me to relax. Again thank you all!

@Me78569 and @Mopar1973Man I can be of use on the site as well if needed.

At this point I'm letting @Me78569 make the lead decisions for the site. I'm hanging around to give guidance so when I'm down and out the BoDs will be in control. Part of my agreement back when the BoD was created.

As we spoke about earlier my recovery was fairly simple. Our problems are similar at least in the way they have to be accessed so I hope your recovery will be as simple as mine. All my best wishes from the Chicken Man.

Sucks to hear that kind of news, but hang in thier, wish the best for both you and your mom. I know I’ve had my share of ER and hospital time in the last couple years, not for my self but immediate family members in life threatening situations, A lot of times being  

in a hospital and  looking for ways to pass the time I find myself surfing this site and it’s always been good therapy just to get your mind off of things . It’s good to know you got members close by that’s willing to give a hand 

 

@01cummins4ever be careful I might have to call you when I'm bummed out and need a voice to talk to... 

Prayers for a speedy recovery mike. I’m sorry to hear this. God bless you and your efforts to keep this site a great place! 

Sorry to hear this! Hoping for a speedy recovery! Rest up! Get well soon.

Hard to rest up. In still driving 250 miles 3 days a weak. Like right now I'm in Ontario. Be heading home soon into a snow storm. Be home by about 7:30pm tonight.

 

Still even with what happened to me Mom still needs dialysis treatments.

Good luck to you Mike, I'm sure you'll be back on the road in no time. 

I understand completely. However it takes a heck of a man to keep doing what your doing and not forget about her. However if your like me ya ain't got a choice either. I hope you can rest when ya can. Just keep ya head up! Sometimes staying busy is a good thing too.  I am here for ya any way I can be. 

Thank you, sir, for the wonderful comment there. It does take a lot to do what I'm doing. MoparMom is the only family I've got left. No brothers, no sisters. As for Aunts or Uncles I've got some but talk to them since I was a little boy. I'm not even sure if they are still alive. 

 

You guys (your family too) is more or less my extended family now. There is few of you that I've met in person then there is most likely about 100 of you that I get phone calls on a regular basis. Most of you I've never met but talk to you on the forum or the phone enough times you like family to me. 

Took me a long time to learn that family is just blood sometimes. I got maybe 2 friends but I hold them higher than some of my own family. Like I said I am here for ya. You seem like a hell of a guy and you have helped me every time I had a question.  I truly hope the best for you and Mopar mom!

Keeping you in our thoughts & prayers for a speedy recovery. 

Prayers for you my friend.
