So, after a bunch of tests, it was determined that I do have a clot in the pump. Because of my blood type, and long waiting list for a heart, I had to go in for urgent surgery Friday. I had to have my pump replaced. I'm still in ICU and a great deal of pain, but every thing is looking good. Thank you all for your words of encouragement. And I now have the 292 lol

 

Good to hear they got that figured out.

 

Anybody that can survive all you have, keep a positive attitude AND stay in touch with us fellow Ford Truck guys is a BAD ***.

John Wayne, Segal, Schwartzennegger and Rambo were larger than life bad asses in MOVIES. Surviving the un-survivable and still kicking ***. You're doing it for real!

Hang in there. Lots of prayers for you and your family.

 

^ good point! God bless.

 

Stay tough keep getting better

 

I will be praying for you

 

Yeah, what Scott said! Keep fighting.
I'm glad to hear they found a source of the current problem.

 

I have been watching your post and wish you all the best.

 

That's good news. It looks like the docs and nurses are writing all over your bandages. Maybe we should all stop by and sign them too. !
Our prayers are with you and yours for a speedy recovery
Get back to working on that truck soon

 

I thought it meant he needs more stamps, not enough postage!

 

Those damn taggers.

 

My thoughts are with you and your family.Not everyone in your circumstances would think to rescue a dog. Karma works in both directions. Hope this step gets you back on the road to getting on the road!

 

Wishing you a speedy recovery, not fun being in the hospital. You'll be home working on the truck before you know it.

 

Thank you all again SO MUCH! I could not ask for better support from an awesome community of people who share my passion.
Looks like I will be here until next week. Hopefully I'll be ready to go home and start recovering Monday. The staples have to stay in for about 6 weeks, so unfortunately I don't know when I'll get back working on the truck. I'm still having some pretty intense pain in the incision areas, but it seems to get a little better day by day

 

Hello everyone! I am finally out of the hospital after more than 5 weeks! I have over 60 staples, and probably 30+ stitches, so I wont be doing much until everything is healed and removed.
I am going to ask a large favor of all my ford brothers. I ordered some parts from a guy before I got sick and ended up in the hospital. I found the truck parts on ebay and spoke with him on the phone and agreed to a price off of ebay to save him on fees. Everytime I ask him for shipping info, he has another excuse. First saying he lost my address and didnt have my contact info to find it out. Then, he sent it via fedex and came back as wrong address. Then he was going to ship via greyhound bc he was out the fedex money. Now I cannot get him to respond to texts or calls. Please either go to his ebay account and message him, or send him a call/text and ask him to give tom the parts he owes me or refund my $300. His number is 541-331-7704 and his ebay page:
elcaco371987 on eBay
I think if enough of you badger this guy, we can get me what is rightfully mine and get this guy to do the right thing. Thank you! Rep points for anyone who can help
