Due to you most you you guys being "friends" ,I wish to share the
following:
Tomorrow, I go in for surgury to have isolated "pockets" of the
Streptococcus infection that has plagued me for the last year+ removed.
This is not major, but due to some of the locations, not minor either.
Immediately following the surgury tomorrow, I am going to recieve the
antibiotic vancomycin via IV tap for two weeks to make sure this stuff
is gone for good. If you read this before my surgury, please keep me in
your thoughts and prayers. I am somewhat scared, but this a monumental
step toward getting well; tomorrow is the begenning of the end of being
sick this the stupid strep infection that has plagued me for the last
year.
I'll be back working on my studebakers in no time <G>

My youngest daughter had recurring strep throat for quite a while as a kid.
It took surgery to remove her tonsils, which had a pocket of strep in one or
the other....
The antibiotics would work for a couple of weeks, and then it would come
roaring back.
After her tonsillectomy, she was fine (except for a redhead attitude which
she still has <lol>)
Good luck!

Kent,
You will be fine! Keep up the faith. Believe me when I say that. I went
through some "health" issues last year, and I learned as soon as my attitude
changed, so did my health.
Things will be fine.

I'm sure you'll come just fine, Kent. But do yourself and others here a
favor...give yourself a chance to heal! Don't rush back to work immediately
after the surgery. The consequences of exerting yourself right after can be
worse than what you went in for, or evan fatal.

Kent, you'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Are any of the pockets
inclusive of your tonsils ( previously mentioned)? It used to be
commonplace to have tonsils and adenoids removed at any sign of
recurrent throat infections. Had mine done in the 3rd grade in 1970. The
great thing about it was "having" to eat only jello and pudding for a
few days. They gave me the tonsils in a jar with solution to keep. the
solution ( formaldehyde ?) eventually evaporated and the tonsils dried
out. Tonsillectomy's are quite rare these days due to the widespread use
of antibiotics and the cost of hospitalization.
See you back here soon,
Jeff

You know I will be thinking of you Kent and let me know what I can do
afterwards. Meanwhile, get well, you have a whole bunch of life to live
ahead of you and don't be impatient for it to heal. Follow the doctor's
order and get well soon.

Kent;
We will remember you in our thoughts and prayers, for sure.
There is power in faith. Have some!
I can certainly understand what you are going through. Strep
throat has put me in the hospital twice - and once an ice bath
because of the high fever (you don't want to ever do that!!!)
This will be a great relief, once over. Try not to worry and
think positive thoughts.
God bless,
Rich
