It is never good to hear of this type of thing. Get mended fast tRoy.

Jake
Fred,
Thanks for informing us
T-Roy, Get better soon. Good thoughts coming your way from every direction.

Never good when a 'family member' falls ill. Get well soon Brother T-Roy.

Just got off the phone with Fred and a friendly ICU nurse at the hospital. Troy is stable and having a lot of tests done but as of this morning he is not in a room with a phone. Fred will be posting up more later, but reports that T-roy is in good spirits. If he is still in ICU tomorrow I may drive down for a visit and drop off a pile of magazines. Hunington is only 2.5 hours from me, and a nice scenic drive. Hopefully I can help keep his spirits up. I will probably print off this thread and take it with me so he will hear all the good wishes.
Bill, thanks for the heads up on our brother TRoy. Please let him know we are all pulling for him and his recovery. Great idea to print off this post to let him know so many are thinking of him. I know it meant the world to me.. Good on you for taking the trip to see him... Your a good friend...
Eric M
Heal well tRoy! Bill, if you visit him - give him a big sloppy kiss for me!
tRoy, prayers headed your way buddy..
Thanks for the heads up Fred, please keep us posted.
tRoy,
Get well soon, ya knob!
Jon
I may not know ya, TRoy, but I know how it is when a fellow forum member falls ill.
Get well soon for your sake as well as for those that love you!
Leon
damn it , that sucks .
T-roy you have my best wishes on a quick diagnosis and remedy, keep your spirits up and think of riding your fj over a cool mountain pass with no traffic. :gamer:
Just got off the phone with T-roy. He is feeling much better this afternoon, eating solid foods and getting ready to move out of ICU into a more comfortable room. Fred has kept me updated and T-roy is very appreciative of all the good vibes sent his way. I will let him describe what happened when he get out, but it sounds like it was a pretty traumatic experience.
Thanks Bill, thats great news to hear TRoy will be getting out of ICU. I hope he can make a total recovery and be back to normal soon...
Thanks for the update big guy..
Eric M
Crapdangit.
Troy, lots of good thoughts headed your way, buddy. Hope you mend well, fully, and quickly!
TRoy, Your in my prayers get well soon.
Got a message from T-Roy last night and he is now out of the ICU. Looks like he may be going home tomorrow.
I will be heading out soon to pay him a visit, pass on your messages and eat greasy fast food in front of him...I may even sneak in a cold beer.
Forgot to mention T-Roy is at Cabell Huntington Hospital room 5910 pretty sure he has a phone in his room, if not give me a call on my cell and I will give you his number.
8 five 9 - 486 - zero 5 four 9

Very good to hear! Get well tRoy!!
Bloody hell,
That's no good mate, being in the sick house sucks.
You get outta there just as quick as you can,people get crook in those places and the clothes they insist you wear, really.
T-Roy was wearing an FJ rally T shirt yesterday.
UPDATE:
T-Roy called a short while ago and talked to me and Jon Cain, He is home and feeling better, but still getting used to his meds. He plans to go back to work Tomorrow on a limited basis.
Good news Bill.
Don't overdo it back at work tRoy...... give yourself a chance to heal.
Harvy
Dear friends!, thank you for your prayers & wishes :good2:
Sliding back into work this morning, actually feeling pretty good! ..won't be over-doing it, no worries.
Saturday, noon... got a little croupy for a short spell and coughed up just enough blood in a loogy to make me go hmm... Kate & me went about our day as usual, even worked a few hours, little or no blood, and no pain or sickness.
Saturday, ~10PM... all at once I feel really croupy, like I have pneumonia, and start coughing up serious amounts of blood.. thick, rich bright blood. A couple minutes later I feel like I am drowning in blood, like its filling my lung(s) faster than I can cough it up. Pretty scary. A call to Regina and she is there in a few minutes to take me to the ER. The leak intensifies and I am pretty much choking on blood, spewing blood when I cough and its now basically running out my nose & mouth. Did this for a few minutes then it pretty much stopped by the time I get to ER (~40 mins) and I have filled up a styrofoam cup with blood. I am admitted to the hospital, scheduled to see the pulmonologist sunday. Still no pain or sickness. I have high blood pressure, 170/110, get on HCTZ and brings it into spec.
Saturday night goes by with little or no fresh blood, just darkened blood left over from the flood. Still no pain or sickness. Sunday goes well, little or no blood, lots of tests, scans, xrays etc...they can see some leftover blood in my left lung, right lung is clear... but there are no signs of all the regular stuff that causes blood in the lung. All my scans xrays and bloodwork come back negative. No cancer, no this no that... the only thing thats out of the ordinary is the presence of the old blood. Sunday I must have talked to 12 doctors. They pull the team together for consultation with me and have me scheduled for a broncoscopy Monday morning. I'm instructed to not eat past midnight. Still no pain or sickness.
Sunday ~10PM: I'm sitting in bed and it comes again, this time stronger than before, and the medical staff is there to witness. So they start moving real fast and eyes get big. They start calling around getting people out of bed and within an hour or so I am in SICU on the table under about 15 people and starting anesthesia preparing for the broncoscopy. The blood flow has stopped. Next thing I know I kinda wake up while they are still in there! I can feel the scope, however I don't feel it in my chest/lung, I feel it up the left side of my face/neck/head! Its a very weird sensation! Oh well, little more drugs and I'm back to sleep. I wake up several hours later in a dark room and a couple sexy nurses. I am sick as a dog with a major pounding headache like none I've ever had before. I am just able to talk/listen to the Dr's, all they saw in there was the leftover blood... no source, no nothing (no diagnosis). Its a mystery.
Major nausea and headache stayed with me for about 36 hrs, couldn't even keep down ice/saliva, sometimes I would go ahead and force down some ice/water just so I could go ahead and vomit & heave it out so I could feel better for a half hour or so. Figure it was my first ever anesthesia and not-empty stomach that made me so sick.
I finally came out of this tuesday afternoon, and started eating and drinking a little, by tuesday evening I was well enough to be moved out of SICU. No blood since sunday night.
Wednesday I'm feeling OK, eating everything in site, brother Bill comes to visit gets to meet part of the family, life is good! :good2:
I continue feeling better & better, no more blood. They continue doing lots of bloodwork scans xrays at least twice a day, looking for something to find... nothing.
They let me go yesterday at noon, and here I am. Feeling good, got a new daily pill for bloodpressure, finishing up some steroids and precautionary antibiotics. And several Dr visits and bloodwork scheduled over the next couple weeks.
No blood since the 2 episodes Sat & Sun nite. So I'm getting back to life with a mystery & crossed fingers. And I'm taking better care of myself.
Again, thanks to everybody for your prayers & wishes! Peace & Love! Gotta get to work! :good:
Holy Crap T-Roy!
Harrowing tale for sure. That scared the sh!t out of me just reading it. I really hope it does not come back.
Stay healthy.
Dan
Holy crap!! I haven't checked in for a couple of days and then...this!!! Take it easy and heal well, brother.
-Rossi-
TRoy glad to hear you home. I'm sure that was very scary for you just reading the account of it scared me. Things can change in our lives very quickly. Ask the doctors lots of questions and hopefully they can explain why it happend?
Take it easy brother...
Eric M
Glad to hear your home, take care and listen to the doctors.

TRoy,
I hate it the Doctors cant come up with an explanation for why this happened to you .....
they should have at least been able to tell where all the blood was coming from.....
well at least you're home and hopefully recovering from whatever it was that caused this malady.
take care of yourself Brother...... i got prayers going up for you every day! :good2:
KOokaloo!
FM
Doggone it! TrOY, I'm so sorry I didn't know about this sooner. Brother, please get well quick!

Wow, glad to hear you're past that experience. Prayers for your good health...
tRoy,
Wow, miss a couple days and this whole thing goes down. Glad to see that you're doing better. Don't let those docs give you some BS "uh, damned if we know..." answer. Keep pushing until they figure it out.
Let me know if you need anything, bro.
Dam tRoy, very glad to hear your out and feeling better. Now get the docs to figure out what the hell that was. Stay well man.
Gotta suck not knowing what started everything. Hope you continue feeling better...
TAKE CARE
Damn, tRoy.
Heal well and fast.
