I hate my life. Ppl who can do this on the regular are saints. I feel like I'm on fire within. They took a bit over a quart and a half so I'm just burnt thanks for the support all and prayers.

Good morning guys,

Well it was the worst sleep I think I've ever had. My bones are on fire I have absolutely zero energy. My back hurts so much I can't even describe it. I'm trying to read messages but my eyes are having a hard time adjusting. I think I've lost 5 lbs just from the ridiculous amount I've sweat.

Now on to some positive. The amount they took from me should be more then enough for my cousin so I won't have to do it again lol.

I want to get up out of bed and enjoy the beautiful weather a cigar but the energy isn't there. The doc told me that healing varies from person to person. Some ppl take 4-5 days other can take up to 4-5 weeks. I'm hoping for the quicker of the 2 so I can be back up and running. The doctor told me I'm a heck of a specimen that I am very healthy and very well built I think he was hitting on me lol

Sorry for the stupid humour the brain is in shock mode and I can't seem to clear the fogginess. Thanks for the love and support from all of you I will be on here for a bit now but I think I'm going to go have a nap after I eat a little as I am completely exhausted.

Thank you
Jonathan

Stupid humor is always a good thing to fall back on.

Now your cousin has what she needs. Focus on resting up. You need to get your strength back so you can enjoy a cigar or two in these warmer temps.

By the way man you did the right thing. I know you werent excited to do it and it put you in a lot of pain. But it takes a great person to go through with it even knowing the pain will be there. Like I said man you got my respect.

Thank you so much guys. I just woke up from officially sleeping for 19.5 hours. I am so sore it isn't even funny. Feels like I've been on a bender for weeks lol.

My cousin now has what she needs to start her recovery full speed now. My mom is seeing a specialist and there are high hopes there too.

Feels good to be back on the positive side of things. Living in the dark hasn't been much fun. The love I've been getting from you all has been beyond words. I couldn't even describe what it means to me. Just thank you all of you from the very bottom of my heart.

Just got through reading the thread and just wanted to express my feelings to you...I've been where you are and multiple times at that. The thoughts you have are completely normal where you question the very things you are experiencing...we get angry and we feel depleted and then we get some energy again only to fall victim to the roller coaster ride that is life. The care and love you have for your family is something important and what you have been able to do is prove that love with your own life and taking on the things that give back to them. A lot of us aren't called upon to make these kinds of drastic measures as you have...it's going through the fire of this that makes you a better person because you have been tested and you know in your heart that you can do this. Many aren't sure what they are capable of doing when tested and sometimes that's more of a burden than actually knowing you can do this. You probably question yourself as to "what's the purpose" of things like this...well, first of all there are a ton of people who don't know what to do when "life" happens like it's happened to you....you now have the experience of 'knowing' and having this knowledge makes you not just a person who can help others....you'll be able to crawl into the hole with them and lead them out instead of just talking with them. It's the old story of a person who fell into a hole so deep he was unable to get out. Several people would walk by and send down their condolences and then keep on going. After so many of them did this the person in the hole felt totally hopeless and depressed and was about to give up all hope until one person looked down into the hole...called down to him and jumped into the hole with them. The first person looked at the jumper and said..."What have you done...now we're both in this hole and what are we going to do?" The jumper looked into his eyes and said calmly...." I've been here before and I know the way out." You are now that person who can jump into the holes to help others who go through life not being able to know how to get out of these "holes"...your experience qualifies you to help those who can't help themselves and what you will find out is that this is how you heal. You will heal and be a better person for it because you can supply the gift for those who aren't able to get through those things in life...we need people like this who go through the storms and come out the others side totally changed to help those who are in need.....this is how you get to the other side of your pain by helping those who aren't able to do what it is you've done.

Wow. You brought me to absolute tears just now. I thank you for that outlook and I am truly thankful for you helping me see the positive this will bring.

This pain I am going through is temporary but the gift I have been able to give will go on a life time.

Cigary thank you for this and I can say without a doubt and in full confidence if anyone needs help or guidance through this type of stuff my ear and heart is open for you.

Thank you so much brothers and sisters.

Jonathan

Hey all,

It's been 3 days now and I am still mighty sore. It's a pretty slow process that has been super rough for me. I've been to work everyday and haven't missed a beat but it is very rough right now I'm sore, stiff, and just lacking energy.

It looks like things are working for a positive but still on the path for everyone. I'm working my hardest to get back to fighting but I am pretty beaten down right. Still pray every night that everyone makes it through this. I'm tough as nails I will survive the pain.

Just thought I'd let you guys in.

Jonathan

Keep your head up man, I really respect you for the toughness you are displaying with what you are going through. I have fortunately never been in your position but I will be praying for you.

I feel your pain man. I am on the mend from my 2nd emergency eye surgery in the last 6 months.

People always say "God wont give you more than you can handle." That's not really true. Things happen to people all the time that they can't handle themselves. That's when the people around them need to step in. It sounds like you are surrounded by some very supportive people and its obvious "The Brotherhood" has your back. I have found in my short life that not only is it important to serve others, but to allow others to serve you. Sometimes we are the one pulling people out of the mud, but sometimes we are the one being pulled out. Prayers to you with your journey/struggles and to your family in their recovery!

If you ever just need someone to yell at, DM me. I can take it!! All the best!

Fighting is all you can do brother! You gotta fight everyday or none of it will be worth it.

We're still here for you if you need it :)
