Thank God! Awesome. Makes my day in a big way. I could tell it was weighing on him and Cindy and to be honest that had me a little nervous as tough as he is. Its good to have a woman and family like that to get through his recovery.   :clapper:      :clapper:      :clapper:

Well,long story short. I had a bad experience with my post surgery care and was not allowed to rest at all. Also luckily Cindy found out that the guy that I was roomed with may of had spinal menengitis(from his mother) both were amazed they had me room with anyone with possibly even a cold! I was told the risk of infection with brain surgery is not to be taken lightly!! Finally roughly after less than 16 hours after my surgery I had enough!! I pulled all my IV's and told Cindy to pack my stuff I was leaving and that is what I did!! Stupid, yes, good decision YES!! Turns out I may of set some type of record for staying the least amount of time after having a brain tumor removed and leaving the hospital. Good news is that I am feeling good and actually doing quite well. I just tire out real quick, no shooting my bows for a few weeks but can shoot my handguns all I want! I have been home since yesterday afternoon and got to sleep in my own bed which is what I needed, my Molly(Llwelen setter) at my side since I have gotten home, she is my best medicine!! Thanks for all your support, this site is good medicine!! Thankyou all!!! Shawn

I can assure you if there was still money to be made, it was A.M.A.

Shawn I hope for the best for you. Good Luck
Title: Re: Prayers for Shawn Leonard
Post by: Winterhawk1960 on March 03, 2011, 09:39:00 PM
I hope you didn't misinterpret my post, the reason that I was concerned with leaving a hospital AMA.......was because IF you do, the insurance isn't liable to spend one red penny on the whole ordeal.

A lot of people don't know that.......I work in a hospital and you wouldn't believe the people that leave AMA only to find out later that they are responsible for the WHOLE hospital bill.

I wish you the best Shawn......I've had you in my prayers and will continue to pray for you and a complete and speedy recovery.

Shawn,

I know you are tough as nails. I hope you do well and pray for the Lords healing for you.
Title: Re: Prayers for Shawn Leonard
Post by: Shawn Leonard on March 04, 2011, 05:38:00 PM
No papers signed and no mention of AMA so insurance has no issues, but I was not to leave until today at noon. I am feeling awful good, but I have developed diabetes insipidus which is common when you have brain surgery or take a severe blow to the head. Hopefully my pituatary regulates itself and I won't need to be on meds the rest of my life. Feelin great just tire pretty easily. Bought myself a present, Belcher ILF riser with 2 sets of limbs, wanted to try something new and this was a deal I could not pass up. Thanks guys! Shawn
