Castle in My Dreams
Castle in My Dreams
Knocking on Death’s Door
About the Book
This is my account of the respiratory illness I had in June of 1994. My diagnosis was a severe case of pneumonia (which is why I was admitted to the hospital in the first place) and Staphylococcus Bacteria (which I believe I picked up while I was there) that attacked the lining of my left lung. I was hospitalized for the duration of over 3 weeks; in hindsight, I reckon that the facility itself was not the newest or the cleanest on the market. Nevertheless, there was no way to know the physical suffering that awaited me and lied ahead. I would not receive a simple shot 💉 or simply leave with prescribed medication. 💊
I was about to undergo something much more significant than that.

THORACIC SURGERY: (This is the process by which to remove a small "wedge" of damaged lung tissue and the removal of pleural scar tissue.)
My surgery was in 1994 via my left side; my ribs there were pulled apart to allow for room to conduct the surgery and insert chest tubes. I was in the ICU a few times; my hospital stay lasted over 3 weeks.

THESE ARE YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF MICHAEL JACKSON'S "GIVE IN TO ME" 🎵 🎵 🎵
When I was first admitted into the emergency room of the hospital, this song 🎶
played on loop inside my head. I like alternative remixes and extended versions
of music. 🎼 🎼 🎼 I select what is most interesting both musically and visually.
