This is going to sound mystic, but something told me to call and check on Dirty. He did not answer his cell, so I called his wife. At first she did not answer either, but she called me a little later from the emergency room. Dirty is having extreme difficulty breathing and has a temperature that is through the roof.
Please take the time to say a little prayer for Todd and his family.
Wow, I was about to send him a PM seeing if everything was alright, because some of his last posts have been pretty down. This sucks. I hope you get better soon dirty.
I just talked to Skill, and he was about to do the same thing. Todd is apparently on our collective minds, and I believe for a reason.Originally Posted by MattB
Many prayers coming your way Todd.
You got it.

Prayers are on there way, who else am I going to crack inappropriate jokes with?!
Sooner, if you get any updates, please let us know.
Dirty, stay strong. Get well soon so that you may crack on me some more.
Vette (or anyone that's close to him), let us know if we can help with anything.
Wow! I had sent him a PM on Friday regarding his sister and wondering why he hadn't been posting. He had not replied as of this morning and I was going to call you today to get his number, but had not gotten around to it. Thanks for the update and we will be praying for him.
I was thinking the same thing. We're here for you, Dirty!
Thanks for the concern folks. I've been feeling very poorly for a while now and suspected it had to do with my recurring lung problem. I've been having trouble breathing at times but it always seems to clear up. I've had a low grade fever for what seems like eons, so never really worried about it. Anyway, it all caught up to me today. It really started last Wed. I had my dad cover at the shop for me because I couldn't breathe, but I got better about noon. Then Thursday, I felt perfect. Then Friday it started getting bad again, which actually felt normal to me. So I had trouble all weekend breathing, but pretty much stayed in bed. Anyway, I didn't sleep well last night-had a really bad dream about demon possessions and woke up out of breath. Finally went back to sleep and woke up for work short of breath. I figured I would be okay as I always got better, but my breathing got progressively worse. So, I shut the shop down. Drove home only having to stop 3 times to get sick then called Vette to bring me to the emergency room because I was extremely dizzy. Got to the emergency room and my oxygen levels were perfect as were my vital signs, so I got to sit in the waiting room for 2 hours laboring for breath and nearly passing out. Anyway, I had a 102.6 fever. After drawing what seemed like half my blood supply, they determined that my white blood cell count was way high. Anyway, they've determined I have some type of viral infection causing the high fever as well as a kidney infection. They couldn't quite determine if I have pneumonia due to the fact that I have such scarred up lungs. Anyway, I've been sent home with anti-biotics and directions for bed rest for at least a week. Unfortunately, I don't have that luxury, so I'll stay home tomorrow and hope that's enough rest so I can be back at the shop on Wednesday.
Once again, thanks for the prayers and concerns. I should be okay.
I pray you will be your ole self again quickly!
Take care of yourself, Dirty. We want you around when we play in that BCS bowl.
You've got my prayers. Get well soon.
That sucks man. I hope you get to feeling better.
