WOW is all I can say about the outpouring of get wells, empathy, and overall friendship of so many individuals that have expressed their concerns and thoughts for me.
When I joined this club, I have to admit that even though I had an admiration for our diesel products, I was joining for a very selfish reason and that reason was to sell my product.
Then over the next few years I realized that not only was the TDIClub 100% responsible for my success in my livelyhood and all my accolades of being able to state that I had become the #1 volume rated salesman in the country, that I had forged a great relationship w/ a whole set of very diverse and passionate individuals! And for this alone, I have the most gratitude and humble respect for all of you that have posted on my behalf and any of you that have thought of me in your thoughts and /or prayers.
It really means the world to me as I move foward now on a new lease on like so to speak!
What I mean about the new lease on life is the fact that I am out of the hospital and hopefully out of the woods so they say! I am home resting w/ anticipation of my first sleep apnea testing scheduled for this tuesday. I am dilligently taking my meds to get my blood pessure controllable, and to say with conviction and the hardest thing to do is I have stopped drinking my normal 10-12 litre bottles of soda per day!
It was a very scary feeling driving myself to the emergency dept at 4am, parking approx 50 feet from the entrance and having to hug the walls of the hospital to get to the entrance. Shortly after arriving, I was on a bed being told that my blood pressure was reading 247 over 142 and that was not a good thing! Then the nurse {rough area, I guess} telling me I am only 38 yrs old and to get my **** together} was my first turning point.
So in closing, Thank all of you once again for your thoughts and prayers!
Not to say on a somewhat funny note, see how easy it is to get along w/ Leonard!
All respect,
Chris
