When I fell asleep I was 60, and when I woke up I was 90. Now I'm working my way back to 60 again. That's what septic shock does. I don't recommend going through it.
I am fully aware of how fortunate I am to be alive, and of how fortunate I am to be surrounded by so many good and wonderful people like all of you. Cards and well-wishes really do mean something, they keep someone in good spirits, give an outlook that things will be back to normal, and left one nurse with the impression that I am a member of the Duck Band, which tours heavily in North and South Dakota.
I also realized something I've known for years. My daughters, Taylor and Peyton, who were at and continue to be at might side, are the best daughters anyone could find. I wouldn't be sitting right here without them.

What I hope you also know is how fortunate we all feel for you to be alive.

Todd, it is so good to hear from you. Continue to heal, and we will be here to say stupid stuff when necessary.

Glad you are back. I texted quite a bit with your daughters and I know how worried they were. You are fortunate to have them.
Getting better and back to normal is going to take some time, but you can and will do it.
Just please refrain from scaring the total crap out of us in the future, ok?

So great to see your post Todd. You have a long recovery coming but it sounds like the worst is over, you have youth on your side, and things will just keep getting better. So happy you are home.

Todd, scary shit to go through. Good to hear you are still you.
(I bet you had some really strange and interesting dreams. Any lights or angels?)

Praying you break the 60 barrier and come out the other side with bags of youthful energy.

Overjoyed to know you are home and posting. May your reverse aging be swift. There a woodlot to be walked and guitar to be picked.

I am so, so glad you are headed back to a more reasonable age. You had us very worried. You mean a lot to us.
Hoping to see you in September, if you're up for it.

No lights or angels or any of that stuff, but some really interesting dreams; bizarre but never anything scary. There would be no point in describing them because they'd be nonsense and I'm slowly not remembering any of them, which is more than fine withe me. |

Todd, I'm so glad to see you posting again! I've accompanied a few patients along your journey in my time, and it is no easy road. You've overcome the worst now, though. With a bit of time, good care, and a few more prayers, you will do just fine.
You've been a big part of the soul of this place, and we are all glad to have you back!
