I wanted to be left alone and if anyone tried helping me I would want to bite their head off for trying. I was forced to go into the hospital (my wife, my vida who saved my butt) my 2nd week post. The docs and my wife convinced me I was near death so I agreed to a nasal tube and within 2 weeks I had removed that sucker myself and was eating solids and on the road to recovery. Hopefully he won't have to reach my low before he listens.
