Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What is the worst health issue you have had??

Double pneumonia from the China virus.

Only what I’ve caused myself.

AIDs?

MI with stent, but the worst, day to day is multiple ruptured lumbar discs, which led to one leg being 2in. smaller in circumference.

As far as I know crohns disease. Did have a staph infection once that might have cost me my arm had it not been treated a few more days.

My back hurts all the time so passing kidney stones was no big deal.
Gallbladder attack was pretty crappy as was appendix about to burst.
Broke a few bones, again no big deal...sucked day of, but was way better after that.

Worst crap has been immune system going crazy, first from a bee sting. 2nd time post covid.

Hives all over, for a month or longer. Been about 20 yrs between those events.

Had shingles a couple times, blah feeling for a week.

Nothing compared to that rash chit from the bee and covid
events.

Maybe take that back, botched surgery had me in excrutiating pain for 3 yrs, but it was constant the first year and a little less and less frequent year two w even lesser yr 3. That pretty much shut down any major activity ( my job had me working in a lab so was doable ).

Was fine when it finally freakin healed.

RH Factor at birth, Last Rites, the whole shebang.

Not bad since.

Paper cut.
No problem though, it was Worker's Comp.

Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis- in remission due to a loving wife who researches and performs critical fact findings. A low carb high fat diet combined with fasting has resulted in an incredible drop in my glucose numbers.

Had 6” of my pecker removed (yes from the middle). Was sick of it coming out of my shoe and stepping on it. Haven’t looked back.

Ducking bullets in Iraq. Definately bad for your health.

Had a case of Beaver Fever aka Giardia in 1987, just let it pass and never got it again.

Other than that, nuttin other than a flu bug maybe 20 or so years ago.

Prostate cancer surgery about 7 years ago. Didn't get it all, PSA went up. Had to get 49 radiation treatments to finish it off. Been cancer free ever since, thank God.


Currently down for the count with double pneumonia (non-covid) for the last 10 days. Not sure how long it will take to clear this, but it's a lot more serious than I first thought.

Cancer

Carotid endarterectomy last winter.

Broken collarbone (twice) riding dirt bikes.

Stroke in 2008.

might as well post this stuff on FB.

I'd be blind, and dead without anti biotics, anti-coagulant meds and modern surgery techniques, and my widow would be richer.....

I count my blessings. Very little health wise for me. Lost a finger tip and thumb tip in separate accidents. High cholesterol. Wife is another matter. Having to deal with all the things that accompany being the spouse of someone with dementia. Forced me to retire early to care for her.

At 61 nothing yet thank the good lord for that. Did have a nose surgery years ago to open up my airways from a broken nose.
