Bill Grant
Hello to all my friends,
I know i haven't been on FB much for quite awhile and wanted to let you know what's been going on in my life. I almost died a year ago. In one year I was in the ER 65 times, sometimes twice a day. In a three month period, I lost 40 pounds and I was totally devastated. Last year, my colon perforated and I only survived because of emergency surgery. Six inches of my colon were removed. In my age group (I'm 67 for those of you who don't know), only 50% survive this surgery. The doctor told me that due to my great physical condition, it saved my life. I am now recovered, I'm back to work as a personal trainer and have gained 35 pounds back. I'm fortunate that I was in good physical condition from working out all of my life, because my recovery has been very quick, compared to most people. especially people my age. I had to wear a colostomy bag, but it was only for a short time.
I thought I was immune from physical problems - I was the "Man of Steel". Now I know that I am not exempt, that I am also human. I am very grateful to have a second chance in life and have learned to not take anything for granted. I want to thank all of my friends that knew what was going on for their support and encouragement.

Colon perforation is pretty common in gay community. No worries. Remember mr.Hands ?
Wish him fast recovery.

Poor guy. He's always been a class act. How did he perforate his colon? Was it Coilitis?

Real nice guy,I wish him all the best.

How does the colon perforate? Glad he is on the mend. When your health goes I don't care how much money you have it's worthless. When you are young you never think about health. So many pin like there is never going to be a problem but when your health goes having a cut tricep isn't even a thought in the back of your mind.
