A BIG SALUTE to SWdrgn from the 125th, and the HTC world.
SWdrgn (Bob) was rushed to the hospital last night with chest pain. What they found was blood clots in his lungs and Aorta valve clogged/blocked. Bob's one of the "Good Guys", always friendly, offers help to anyone and everyone. According to his wife Bob will be in the hospital for a while. Currently they have him sedated so as he won't move around and possibly break one of the clots loose. Once the clots are cleared up they'll address the heart problem.
Bob's a good friend. and my thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

Our thoughts are with him and his family. I can't count the number of times he has shot a tank out from under me.
-
I've had a few good ones with SWdrgn lately. Sorry to hear this. :(
Hopefully all will be well in no time!
-
God Bless you Bob! It was great having you, Chef and others at A5 in Mindanao the other day. You're a good person and I sincerely wish you and your family the best wishes. :rock

Appreciate all the warm wishes…..Salute.
Just got off the phone with Tammy (his wife) and Bob. They’re allowing him to get up for bathroom break only, otherwise tied to the bed. Currently the hospital is working overtime to control the blood clotting and dissolve the ones that he has. They’ve got him hooked up to thinners and whatever they use to dissolve the clots.
According to Bob…….34 VILES OF BLOOD drawn and counting (lol), CT, ultra sounds of his legs, and about 8 EKG's. Needless to say Bob is already climbing the walls (lol), to the point of being threatened with DUCT TAPE and BED. I advised Bob I would send Tammy some of that GOOD duct tape if need be :D.
Will advise when I hear more.

Duct tape would not hurt so much after 8 EKGs as he is probably hairless by now.
Get well soon.

"Yesterday we were told they are running test they belive he may have Lupis on topof everything else, but on the other hand a little good news today, no blood clots in his legs. But they still have not found out were thy came from. But like Bob says he has to crawl before he walks with this. Thank you all again Love and God Bless you all Tammy"

:( Keep fightin' Drgn!

:pray Thank goodness our friend did the smart thing and went to the hospital :salute
I pray for a speedy recovery, and ugly male nurses... so he doesn't get comfortable and makes it home soon :) Also :pray the doctors are pursuing all possible causes and hopefully Lupus is only on their radar, but not the cause. In any case, they are doing the smart thing by getting an early enough diagnosis.
Please see this America's Got Talent video. It will give you chills (no pun). They are affected by another disease but the message is clear brother, when you have this kind of support, nothing is going to keep you down. Pass on our prayers :pray :pray

<S> Folks,
Meant to post this Monday for update from Mrs. Drgn, got busy and forgot. Just got another update this morning so I'll post both. Todays update is looking real good for Bob. They finally got control over the clotting and from my understanding, from the meds used, clots are cleared from his lungs, and pose no further threats. Of course he's on blood thinners from heck, and I told him jokingly to watch those paper cuts, or he'll bleed out :D
I'd like to thank everyone for your posts. Your posts did no less than bring a smile to his face, and raise his spirit big time. I salute each and every one of yas.

(Mondays Update)
I wanted to update you all on Bob. They are still having a rough time getting his blood to thin out. When they do get it at the levels it needs to be and his body holds it for 48 hours, then they need to put filters in his heart valves. We have been told that it is not just one clot in each lung it is a mass in both lungs, the meds are not taken care of them either and he still has to have oxygen all the time. He is in pretty good spirits today he asked for some pain meds and wow was he was knocked out and slept all night, first time since Thursday. He is a bit happier now he can get up and he dont have to pee in a bottle but he can only be up a few minutes. I will update you all as we get the news here. Thank you all again Tammy
(Thursdays Update)
Hi Guys, Update on Bob. We have some great news. No heart damage, and his blood levels are holding there own. So if his body holds the levels the rest of today Bob will be going home tomorrow. He will need to go to the Dr's once a week to make sure his level stay the same with the meds. They still dont know why his body did this but they have taken serveral test they are waiting to get results back, but we can wait for them at home. Be looking for Bob flying this weekend, he is going through withdrawls..... I want to thank you all again for everything. to each and everyone of you. Tammy

best wishes & speedy recovery

Hope he's back home. When I first read his symptoms, I was thinking A-Fib, but that's pretty obvious / easy to diagnose. Weird.
-
I broke my leg and ankle playing hockey a few years back and got blood clots from the surgery. They broke loose from my leg and traveled into both lungs. I was in the hospital for a week. I totally know what he's going through and is going to go through (blood thinners) for the next year or so. My best wishes go out to him and his family :salute
-
good luck sir :salute
-
Just flew a sortie with SWdrgn earlier today in Blue. He seems to be doing great. Still some blood clots, but he is coming around just fine. Get well soon!

I can't believe you dropped eggs on his tank without checking with me first. I'd have brought some toast and bacon.
