10 years of HELL

My medical problems started on this day in 2007 (I remember it was the day after the AFC Championship game). I woke up with what I thought was a migraine which I had a history of, but it has never gone away. 21 surgeries, countless procedures, and so many trips to ER I lost count many years ago.

I'm 35, and sure never planned on this being my life.

So many of y'all have sent me prayers and good wishes, and I can't think y'all enough. I promise you if it hadn't been for that and my family, I wouldn't have made it.

Good on ya RATZ..... keep fightin and prayin

More prayers and good wishes for you.

I'm in Arlington 6 days a week so if you ever need anything give me a shout.

The wife has debilitating migraines so I understand hown they put a person down.

Ratz, I know I've PM'd you about this and am pretty familiar with your issues because of my professional experiences. Many prayers for you still as I know you continue to have exacerbations. You are one of the real good guys here in the OT and I know I lie reading your posts. May God's healing hand be on you and grace for you and your wonderful family is my prayer. Eyes to the cross, buddy!

I wish you all the best RATZ.

Where are you at now? Is it all done and over with or do you have more surgeries and problems in the future?

Keep the fight bro!

You know where I stand with you brother....TFF OT is a great place to share, poke and enjoy!

No question you are a big time contributor to all of the above -- AND THAT IS FUN!!! Love you brother and look forward to seeing you soon

Good luck to you .I'm going through something similar that started in my 30s.Chronic pain is terrible .I know the effort it takes sometimes.

You are a better man than me. Keep up the good battle, we will keep praying for you.

Hang in there!

The OT needs more folks like you RATZ. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Thanks for being one of the good guys on here.

Concur

We got your back Ratz.

Prayers for ya partner. Fight on.

Prayers for up for your healing bud.

You and your family are good peeps. Y'all have been very gracious and giving at every opportunity.

I recall at the Lake Fork tournament you and your dad offered to give my partner a ride home when he had vehicle issues and even help get his boat back to DFW.

When the girlfriend and her daughter were going to a concert at Jerry world y'all offered to let her park over there and give her and the kiddo a ride from there.

I don't follow college football but as a degenerate Gambler I always appreciate your reviews and predictions.

Thank you and I hope you get to feeling a lot better real soon!

RATZ, your 35? I'm 35! I figured you atleast 65, and now I'm ashamed of that. Great on you and keep fighting, you are a great man and I respect that! I wish I could be like you

Sorry you had to go thru all this. Hang in there

God bless Brandon.

Prayers for healing and relief from the pain.
