jpl2ci Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 I hear dc rom Adam this afternoon and he has undergone an unexpected turn for the worse. He is still in the hospital, now on steroid therapy and are running additional tests for autoimmune adrenal disease. He is upbeat but disappointed by this latest setback. Stay tuned for further updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted October 14, 2013 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yes, the rumors are true, I am home from the hospital. looks like on top of the brain surgery to be concerned with, I now have Adrenal insufficiency disease. Dont really have the energy to explain at the moment. still on some strong meds. maybe later. Looks like I have a lot of messages to keep me busy. I am not going back straight away to work. I will touch base again in a few days just wanted to say hello to everyone. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camille Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Really good to see you back Adam!!! It's just not "HearPeers" without you! Wish you a speedy recovery!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted October 20, 2013 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Camille, I missed chatting with you guys. Everything as far as the brain surgery went well. They did have to tweak the setting of the shunt a day or two later. unfortunately I was also diagnosed with Adrenal Insufficiency Disease. It can be life threatening but if i stay on top of things can live a normal life. I am still in the learning stages as right now it is a bit overwhelming. Heck 33 surgeries havent killed me, I'm not gonna let this stop me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Adam, I have to disagree with you - actually, people go to the operation more rarely than obligatory to the operation in acute state. Surgery is well-known process - illness/sickness is not.
