good to be back. wish i could see the words on the screen . it hurts my eyes to look at it and everthing is still blury. i dont rember too much till few days ago i woke up to sarah staring at me. befor that it is just bits and pieces.

I think that is all we are going to get out of him for now. The screen is too bright for his eyes yet. He said he can't look at it any more right now. but at least he tryed.I'm going to see if i can't turn it down a little so it dose not hurt his eyes.

Welcome back Tigger....Real glad you are doing better..Hang in there..:)

Very glad to have you back Tigger. And a very big thank you to Missy, too.

Welcome back Friend Tigger !! I hope that you will be well soon.:)

And thanks to Missy that has given courage and comfort to us all and Danielle, to know on the news on Tigger.

Well after posting last night Tigger complained of a varry bad headache. so the DR looked at his eye and said it didn't look right, so a eye DR looked at it this morning and there is some damage they took him to the lab and got a better look with there stuff there. his eye is cut and some of the eye fluid got out . They were able to fix it and said he should be able to see beter in about three days. They have his eye bandaged so he can't see any thing right now. They will remove the dressings tomarow. I just wanted to keep you all updated. The radio must have hit him right in his left eye, the DR said there is a dent in the bone right above his eye.

I hope tigger's eye heals well. And I hope that they've found everything now. I will be wishing for a good and speedy recovery from this latest complication.

Tigger
 

I have really tried to follow the ongoing story on Tigger but... could someone please sum it all up? WHO is Tigger? Where is he located? Is he in the military? WHY would the miltary give him a computer? Who is Missy? Who is Sarah? I know these boards are supposed to be sort of discreet but Tigger has gained a large "following" and I'd like to know the whole story.:)

Tigger is an ex-marine who drives a tractor-trailer hauling explosives for the military. Right now he's located in a hospital in Ohio. I believe it was his marine buddies that got his daughter the computer. Missy is one of tigger's co-workers, she's one of ten people on the team that handles security for tigger's truck. Sarah is the name of tigger's daughter and also the name of tigger's boss (no...tigger's daughter is NOT his boss...lol) :)

Thanks WhyYou. That seems to sum the whole story up quite nicely. I appreciate the effort.:)

Whyyou is correct Tiggers Marine unit (recon) got Sarah the computer. All the Marines chiped in and payed for it.

Pore guy it is just one thing after a nother. But he is taking it in stride. We knew about the eye before they just wanted to take care of the more important things first. And no the nurse is not trying to break his arm off!

even though i am new here and though i dont know tigger.. i wish him special thoughts for healing. I hope recovery is quick and he is back to full speed soon.

Does seem like he can't catch a break lately...I'm still hoping for the best & believe he will be healed up soon..:)
Thanks again for all the info Missy

Yeah it seems like when Tigger was getting better then he has a relapse sorta with them finding something else wrong.Hopefully the eye problem is the last of the relapses.At least they are catching them in time and getting them fixed. Tigger is a strong guy with alot of caring people who cares about him so I know things will go great at the end for him. :)

They knew about his eye right after the wreck but couldn't do any thing till the swelling went down, and when he complained about it they decided to go ahead and fix it now. We are just waiting for the infection to get under control. He is laying here snoring like a chainsaw right now. The nurse worked with his arm a bit ago and they gave him a pain shot so he is pry out for the night.

I'm going to go for now, I won't be back till tomorrow evening. Tomorrow is my hubbys birthday (40) so I have a nice day planed out for him. Good night and sweet dreems.

Well I had a wonderful day with my hubby. We just stoped by the hosp.to see Tigger he is sitting up the bandage is off his eye. and he is eating a nice porkchop with applesauce and a piece of pie. and he is eating on his own. It is good to see him up and eating.

Missy: Wish yer hubby a belated Happy Birthday for me :)...& good for Tigger, if he is eating on his own, he will be getting better faster..Good News

Tigger is doing varry well today. Some of the bigshots were in to see him today. My hubby got yelled at by the nurse. He used Tiggers bathroom and stunk it up while I was out for lunch and the nurse walked in just after and Tigger was lying there with his pillow over his face, didn't take long for the nurse to figure out why. Must have ben the BBQ. Just can't leave them alone for a min. We had a little bit of a problem last night between Tigger and his mom . she said somthing totaly uncalled for about the military and the war and Tigger got pissed. I mean rilly pissed. And told her to get out. and he didn't want her back this morning so we flew her home. I'm not going to get into what she said but it upset me and Sarah as well. He does not get along real well with his parents. and that coment set him off. But he is better now. He and Jer are watching an old movie. And im on here and Sarah is reading .

BBQ will do it every time...LOL!! :D

Missy, tell Tigger to get well soon. And tell his daughter, he has friends all over the world. (She doesn't need to know where they met him. ;))

I'v just read about Tigger the past few days. He seems to be a great person. My thoughts are with him ever since.

When I read about Sarah's Laptop being stolen, I thought about a donation for a new one. But you guys found an even better solution. Tigger can be proud of all of you.

Sarah knows about the sight. She read all of the posts and she dosent mind him being on here. Tigger is doing vary well he got up and walked around today, still week , he had to rest at the end of the hall but he is trying .that infection is still kicking his butt.

Tigger just got back from the eye lab. They dilated his eyes and put some meds in them, the DR. said he might be able to see better this afternoon. I have read all the things you all have posted and he said to say THANK YOU to all of you for thinking of him. The infection still has it's hold on him, they are give him some varry strong meds to try to get it under controll. They will not let him go home till then. If he can see this afternoon I am going to see if he can get on here . I got a filter screenfor his laptop to make it easer on his eyes. Sarah is trying to feed him his lunch , she cut up all his food. lol she loves him so much. They are so close.

Sarah is just who he needs during these trying times. I'm glad they were able to set up the tutoring for her so she could stay and take care of him. Thank you for getting the filter screen fo his laptop. Hang in there buddy, the infection won't win, your stronger than it is. I'd hug you if I could. :)

Tigger is asleep right now the meds nock him out I have had a few of you ask me a few thing so I thought I would post the replys on here. Tigger is getting his meds. in a IV and a pill 2 times a day. Sarah is doing varry well she spends a lot of time with him, she loves her laptop, she is on it now. The truck is in VA. at our shop, the cab is off of it and they are putting a new cab on it. It will pry be ready by the time he is ready to come back to work. The rest of the team is working back at the office back in VA. The team will be kept together and as soon as Tigger is ready we will all be back together.

That's so cool that they are keeping the team together! Tigger will really appreciate that. It would have been rough on him had they broken up the team and given him new team members to break in after all this mess. :)

We all work so well together and get along so well. And after almost 4 yrs. we know what the other is going to do witch means a lot. We are like a big happy family.

hay guys im back I think! my eyes are still a little blury but I can see enough to get on here. thanks to ya all for thinking of me. it has ben a ruff cupple weeks but i will pull thru. Missy has ben great along with Sarah and Jeromy. they are taking good care of me. I hop to go home next week but we will see. a lot of new names on here glad to see ya all.

Welcome back..:) glad to hear you are finally getting up & around...had us all pretty worried for a while

Hi Tigger its great that you're back again.The place wasn't the same without you. :D

Tigger's brother flew in today. so I don't think he will be on today.

Man i lost a hole day somewair. The nurse came in and gave me 2 shots. 1 in the iv and the other in the butt cheek and i woke up this afternoon. She gave me the shots yesterday morning.

That can happen sometimes,those shots can put you out like a light and later on you realize you lost some time in between. :D
I was in the hospital when i was 13 to have my apendix out and was there for 10 days.I lost a day somewhere in the beginning. :D

Missy is helping me so my spelling will look beter.lol Missy got me the new HULK AND INDIANA JONES movies and we watched them last night . They were good, not what i was expecting but good. My safty dir. was in to see me today, she brought me a model of the USS ALABAMA. so I have somthing to keep my self ocupied. DR. said if my blood work continues to improve i might get to go home tue.

The dr. Was in a bit ago and said i will pry get to go home tue. I am so glad im sick of being in here. I have to still take meds for the infection for a few more weeks so it dosent come back.

I think it's great that you're going home, the hospital is not really a fun place to be.

that is great you will be going home soon. not easy to be laying in a hospital bed.

Missy and amanda went out on the town today exploring and missy snaped this photo of amanda. This is the skirt she wore the first day she was here.

I knew you would post that you sh*t. I think you do like her!!!!!!!!!!!!:p
