I've been in-out of the hospital again. 1st time 2 was for months.

Butt sore, Bone infection, (antibiotics caused), Kidney failure – Respiratory 
failure (dialysis and ventilator). Finely weaned off both.

Since then I've had 4 ER 1 day visits, a 12, 7, 5, 5, and a 3 day visit.

A number of other bad issues, but mostly my lung keeps getting fluid around it. 
(Pleural Effusion) Had to drain it a few times a week. Finely had surgery. 
Looks ok now.

I lost so much weight and strength, I couldn't take big enough breaths at night 
to get rid of all the C02. Id sleep in my chair all day, no one could wake me 
up. My CO2 levels were in the 80s, supposed to be in the 30s. Other times I 
would act normal for a few days, but then remember nothing.

So now I have to use a feeding tube at night and eat during the day. Plus I 
need to use a Bipap machine to make me breath deeper at night.
