Been following this story in the forums and all I can say is what amazing family and friends shack has. Tells you what kind of person he is without ever meeting him. Glad to hear of his recovery and all the fundraising. Get well soon Shack.

I may be down but sure not out. smile

H1N1 0, Shack 1

Passed all my tests and I think they got sick of me in rehab grin They let me out yesterday afternoon. It is so great to be home with my family. Just being home after 50 days away is a weird. All things that came and went. I am glad I am here to absorb all of it. I will be doing in house rehab for the next month or so and then out patient.

Just starting to read some of the Caring Bridge posts and the ones from FM/HSO. It is very cool that many people are pulling for ya. Kind of shocking grin

Still can not believe this happened. I was just sick. Thanks to my loving wife for dragging me to the ER. If I had stayed home even one more hour, who knows what would have happened. Once I got to the ER I draw a blank until I woke up the other week. Besides the weird coma dreams, the time went by in a flash.

Only things I have issues with are my legs and ankles. I use a walker right now. My taste buds have no sense to them (coming back but slow). My hands are not steady at all. I could not tie a double uni if my life depended on it right now grin

I have to thank my physical therapists Scott, Sue and Becky. Santa comes in many forms.

Just a little over a week and half ago it took three grown men to get me on my feet and for only 5 seconds. The pain is something else when your legs have not moved for as long as my did not. Now I am walking. Slow and controlled, but walking smile

Still hurts like mad though mad but I push the pain aside.

I refused pain killers/relief for the first week. I wanted to do this with out anything. Plus I was having major withdrawals from the drugs they used for my coma. I now know what a heroine addict coming down feels like wink

Thanks again for all the support from you guys. I have no doubt it is the driving force behind my fast recovery.

Josh (Shack)

This should also serve as a wake up call for even us younger healthier guys. If you are sick, go in! I barely survived a menigitis scare back when I was 19, if my dad hadn't forced me to the clinic, I probably would have died that night. We should all be thankfull for those looking out for us even when we are too stubborn for our own good.

Great to hear you're now at home. It's going to take a while, but it will get better. It sounds like you don't have long term lung damage which is great! Muscle control will come back, it just takes strength and stretching exercises. It's great to see you posting again.

Shack, we have never met, but I feel I know you through this site. I am so glad to hear you are back on your feet! Hopefully you will be well enough to get out on the hard water yet this year. May God bless and you have a very Merry Christmas!

Shack - Its pretty amazing to see a post from you. Its especially cool that you're home with your wife and kids for Christmas! The CaringBridge updates were pretty scary at times so its awesome that you're back in the saddle.

Enjoy the holidays!

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
