You think you have it bad

[Cardirt0]

I was in the ICU been there 7 days ,,Can not eat or drink..Food goes in one arm and drink in the other .. Well it was in my foot the other arm had gave out for drink...
Been there 7 days and the Doc came in.. I asked him give it to me the truth..Doc says.... Worst case you dont make it out of here over the next week...Or to make it short I die.....
Doc then says.....Best case you go home and you go maybe 6 to 8 mouths and have a relapse and you are back here...I said that $ucks.. the Doc LOL you have a way with words Gary.. well I got good enuff to go home.. Had a 7 pound pack on my back too feed me . But I could drink water Man that was grate.. After 5 weeks of food on the arm .. one day I could eat food it take 3 hours too eat lunch ... Got it down too a hour too eat a Hamburger.. Life was good got to go back too the race track things were great Doc says I was the first ever too improve this much....
Will that was 6 years ago.. My change of making it 6 years 5%
The best thing now is eating is not too hard too do...But now my skin is falling off.. the left side of my face has stop working most of the time....Can not stand more the 30 min.. going too a race just cant make the body work and the pain is so bad......So the next time YOU think you have a bad day come on here and tell he about the race you went to and how great it was ... Cause I get off on knowing my fiends can still go to the races and have fun....I have learned to live with what God has giving me...Now I will go back too being a key board Jockey cause its all I have left
.................................................. ......Thank you Gary

I'm sorry, man.

[CIRF]

Gary, that is a story that tugs at the heart strings. I promise we will say a prayer for you from time to time and I hope to God our prayers help in some way.

What you describe sure puts things into perspective in reference to what is really important in this life.

I'd would normally say hang tough, but coming from me it doesn't carry much weight in comparison to what you have and are enduring. You've already toughed it out more than I can imagine.

Best of luck in the future, sir.

Good luck. Hope your able to make it to a few more races.
This is one reason why I have basically stopped bashing tracks or drivers.
It just isn't worth it any more.
Might as well try to live life to the fullest and be happy with the family and friend you do have.
I've told people many times; my family and friends mean more to me they any amount of money and am thankful for that.
Just be thankful for what you do have and are able to do
There is always some else out there who has it worse then you do.

Sorry to hear about your health problems.

[racenut]

Hold your head up Gary, you have put in a good fight....you are a good guy, the one race I got to attend at Farmer City this year, I stopped, walked up to your spot on the third turn fence and wondered how you were doing. Hang in there old friend!

[MotoMatt]

Where's Dirt on Dirt and LucasTV on this site, I know they read it...give this guy a free login so he can watch all the races possible from home.

What you are going through sucks for you and your loved ones. Thanks for sharing and I hope you can enjoy this great sport until the end!

Prayers to you and yours!

Some people's souls are already dead.......even when they are alive^^^^^^^^^

Congratulations on sewing up that douchebag of the year award so early in the season.

Prayers to you Gary. Where do you live? I know Eldora still has turn 2 vehicle parking where you can sit in your vehicle and tune the radio to 87.9 and listen to the tracks announcers. Everyone needs to stop and think how bad things could really be instead of whining when things don't turn out how we think they should.

[rickybrown1952]

I don't know you personally but don't have to I will be praying for you and I will have our church pray for you God help us look at us complain about life

You are the most inconciderate #&@?#$*&!@$ basterd that ever lived. To post something like that is totally unexceptible. You did this to another member on here. You should be banned for comments like yours!

[plunks7]

Well Gary you know Where to look for someone to talk to. Amazing strength and the will to live is above and beyond what Dr.'s , Family and Yourself ever imagined. Just keep it going for many more years from all of US here on 4m. One of these nights maybe we can have a good laugh on here, with the people that aren't so lucky to attend races due to medical issues. Of coarse anybody else that is up for a bs and laughing night, your more than welcome to join us!!!!

Racenut knows were I stand LOL...Just cant stand long or walk far and then when I get home sometimes I had too sleep in my car cause I cant get in the house legs just stop working ,,, When i lived in the T-park my next door N ,, use too leave the light on on his porch so I know hes up,, I honk the horn and he help me in too the house..... Now I live on the 5 floor and they get mad if i sleep in the car,......

You are an inspiration for all of us. Keep on keeping on and thanks for the eye opening post. Most all of us on here tend to whine and complain over such stupid little things and I for have learned a great lesson from you. Prayers to you and please keep us updated. Have a great day!
