[Cerek the Barbaric]

I've posted the complete details before, so I'll just give a summary version here.

I have a chronic illness called Chron's Disease. It can normally be controlled with a maintenance dose of medication, but it 1997, it pulled a very nasty surprise on me. It caused a massive internal injury that resulted in internal bleeding and my system being flooded with poison. A series of circumstances led to my having to suffer for almost 30 hours before finally being taken into an operating room. Needless to say, peritonitis was running rampant through my system by this time.

After the surgery, the doctor came out to my wife and mother and asked them if they believed in miracles. They replied that they did, and the doctor said "That's good...because a miracle is the only thing that is going to save him. I've done everything I can, but I don't expect him to survive past the next 72 hours."

Thankfully, God had other plans.
