... again a couple of years ago. (It's a habit I got in RVN.) Yeah. I went into the ER one Sunday evening after getting an infection from a boil on my leg. They told me I had a 78% chance of dying. Was under the knife within 3 hours and then in a medically-induced coma for three days, during a week in ICU. (I endorse Michael Jackson's choice of sedatives whole-heartedly. Propofol is amazing as a sedative and anaesthetic... lights out instantaneously and no drug hangover.) After 6 weeks in the hospital and several surgeries ... yeah, I was even part of the "show-and-tell tour" for all residents and interns ... I was given a reprieve and sent home with daily skilled nursing visits. After a couple of months, I was getting out and pissing people off again. 
Nowadays I'm swimming laps three nights a week at my local high school (remembering my college days on the swimming team) and haven't felt better since I was in my 30s. 
Welcome home, bro!
