Well, it's been a horrible couple of months. Lucky, I'm still kicking. Here is the list of everything that went wrong and is still going wrong. I'm not out of the woods yet by any means.

1. I found out to have a rare disease called "Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis' it is not curable but can be managed. It makes my body attach its self and in my case, it attached it's kidneys.
2. It wound up taking killing my kidneys all together. Finely, when my kidneys were down to 10% left, the medicine started helping. I am recovering at the moment. I'm at about 24% now, but it is unknown how kidneys will come back.
3. with this time at the same time, I was the Vasculitius also went after my blood. I have (still have) blood colts in both legs, and they will probably been there for at least another 3 months.
4. It also attached my skin, with were painful but were fixed with drugs.
5. As I just started to get back on my feet, I had a blood clot make it to my brain and I had a stroke.
6. It turns out that I have a hole in my heart. It is from being born. Everyone one has one (like a soft spot) but it should fix itself while you're a baby. 20% of people never fix it, and it is not a big deal for most people. However, it wets blood cots go from one side to the other of my heart and into my brain. So they will probably be fixing that in the next few months.
7. I have lost a lot of my speech and are working on that as much as possible. It is like how to talk, write and read again. It's not easy, and it takes forever to read or write something. This post took me over a half an hour.
8. I also have a doctor looking into any possibility that I still have Lymes disease just to make sure, although it has been pretty much counted out.

I have a long way to go. I've lost 50 lbs since November, but I may be starting to get my feet on the floor. I came very close to death 3 different times where I rushed to the hospitals. Finely, last week, I was able to get into my wood shop and do some things. If nothing less that keeping my mind busy. I made a nice stand for a Handpan I bought and have learned to play. I'm post some pics later this week. Like I said, I'm till in pretty bad shape and anything can happen. I ask for your prayers for my family as I do what I can to try to become well. Thanks- Finster

Continued prayers from the Eastern Shore. Hang in there buddy!
