FROM FLEXED1 I AM HOME (long)

flexed1

Elite Mentor
Platinum
WOW, this was the first time I have read this post. My other half brought in copies from chat and the mod baord for me. They kept me in good spirits and where kept on a table by my bed.

Its been a very painful 10 days. I am still very weak and mostly sleep since I got home yesterday. Life has changed in the past two weeks. You are all so very kind to have posted such great thoughts and prayers. I had many phone calls from elite members and it was great to hear voices to put to names. Except Bouncer who kept waking me up with a deep Irish accent. Made me crack up.

This visit was not steriod releated. I've always done moderate doses though I do mix in quite a few things at contest time so it may have pushed or accelerated the problem. It was accute pancreatis and my second bought. It was kidney stones ( 6 new ones) but I have had 3 surguries on these and well over 100 stones. It was enlarged prostate ( steriods for sure) my prostate is huge and I am on medication. My liver was because of being exsposed to hep c but my body fought it off years ago and my enzymes will alwasy be high and I will never get it or pass it. It was interesting how I amy have got it back 9 years ago or so. Snorting coke through a straw with others. Blood in the nose they have hep c guess what we all do now. There was nothing else i have done except that.

To those on the chat board and on other board who dished me, wished for my kidneys to expolde and claimed I had no insurance it s called Karma and it will come back and bite you in the ass. In real life the people who know who I am laugh at shit like that. I have more money than god and 100% insurance and have never posted on not having insurance. It was my friends and there concern.

You are all great people and your commments today had me in tears. I never knew folks cared so much about me and it felt great. All I can say is THANKS.

I WILL NOT COMPETE AGIN BUT i WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT AND EST THE LIFESTYLE BUT WILL NOW ENJOY MY LIFE SO MUCH MORE AND MY OTHER HALF WHO WAS WITH ME DAY AND NIGHT AND SPENT EVRY NIGHT BY MY BED. THATS WHAT LIFE IS REALLY ABOUT.

My doctor will moniter my blood and I amy go on small cycles here and there but no stage and no pushing the envelope. My family and friends and a fun life are in my future.

god bless
 
Bro, good to have you back! I'm glad you're ok, but you wont compete anymore? C'mon. Dont quit. I didn't read your entire message yet because I wanted to say welcome back first, but I'm sure you have a good reason for it :D

Fantastic to see you're doing okay. Glad to hear you'll still be around on the boards and will still be able to continue living the life. Best of luck to you my friend. What kind of assholes would say things like "I hope his kidneys explode"?
 
Glad everything is stabilizing... Hope to get to know you better, I've prayed for you since learning of your troubles on EF..

peace,

CK

Simple. Ignorant ASSHOLE's who have nothing better to contribute because their lives are so boring and dull. These are the same people that post pictures of me at other message boards claiming to be them! :D

It's awesome to see you back and in better health, much blessings to you and I fully support your thoughts and views on not competeing, enjoy your life.
 
Great to have ya back Flex! Congrats on your recovery & best wishes in your further recovery. There's way more to life than the stage but, seems like you realize that. Best wishes to you & your family, god bless!:angel:
 
SAF to compete as you know takes 100% dedication to a show. You work your ass off to go on stage to win a trophy. Just a trophy which feels great but for me I need to look at the price the trophy cost. Little or no time with my other half and friends, no eating out or traveling. I want to always be a bodybuilder and look great and trust me I will. But my life will be centered around what I think life is about. I have not quit the sport only the stgae and until one goes through a death experience ( my pancreas was about 125 enzymes short of exploding and bleeeding to deat they were 550 normal range 0-99 death range 650 up) you just see things different. Judge me from here on by my time with whats important to me plus you may not know by the pics but i will be 40 on june 14th. Most think I am in my early 30-33 range.
 
Hi flexed1,

I really just caught this, but I wish you the best and pray for a quick recovery for you. It must be hard to face all these problems, I am glad you have a lot of support!

Take care.
 
yeah, I know what you mean. It's called "dying to please." Some people put their bodies through hell and back in order to achieve a prize. Sometimes things need to be put into a different perspective to realize and appreciate the other more important things in life, such as family and friends, which of course always come first. It's sucks that you had to end up in the hospital to come to this realization, but that's ok since you are ok now and plan to keep things under control.

anyway, glad to have you back, catch ya later,

SAF
 
bro i dont know ya but i did pray for you when i read the first post--God answers prays and its a blessing to see that the Lord has put His healing hand on you...welcome back--youve been through a ton in the past two weeks and im glad to hear that your looking at things in a positive outlook and i hope the Lord has shown you things---God Bless thelegacy
 
It is so very horrible that this has happened to you. Yet this will all one day be a bad memory, something thought back upon many years from now. For this has not gotten the best of you. You have tested your own inner strength, and you won. You also have what appears to be a beautiful new outlook on life. I wish you well, and a 110% recovery. Your journeys in life will now be that much more sweeter. I look forward to reading many more posts of your continued wellness and happiness in the future...
 
Welcome back bro, I also prayed everyday for your recovery and it is being answered now I see.Theres always going to be some people with no compassion for others don't know who was questioning your insurance plan or how much money you have but it makes no difference anyway if you are broke or rich, God is healing you and brought you home. BTW God has alot more money than all of us the bible says he owns cattle on a thousand hills and he owns everything we have because he gave it to us in blessings so don't forget what hes done for you ok. pittbull2
 
FLEXED-glad to hear that you are going to make it! Although we have never met or talked, I have prayed for you since I first read the post that you were sick. I have two friends that competed for years, one just underwent a kidney transplant, the other is on brain surgery number 16.

I saw your pics just before you got sick, remember:
NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY ACHIEVED!
Any time you get depressed just look at your pics.
 
Thank God

Glad to have you back Bro. I must have checked the Sticky 100 x's/day looking for an update on your condition. I'm glad you made it home okay.

glad to see you doing well and home bro... i was wonderin how you was doing.. get healthy bro...:)
 
I'm glad to see you are better flexed1....I hope that things continue to get better for you. Again...I really appreciate all your help and advice for my comp. You are truly a good guy, I'm sorry that things like that had to happen to you. Those kind of things should be happening to those kinds of people who were talking shit about you. I'm sorry you won't be able to compete at the LSC with me...I was looking forward to meeting you and thanking you in person. I tell you what....I will dedicate my performance at the show to you!!!

bigmag

P.S.
I know you're not competing but are you going to be able to be there. If so, I'd still like to meet you and thank you in person. Thanks again!!!
 
I don't really know you bro and I kinda lurk here but I enjoy your posts and you seem like a great person.. I am glad you are back home and I hope you make a full recovery and come back stronger than ever !!!

Its good to see good people getting a second chance !!
 
Great to hear that your improving bro!!! I am honestly glad that everything seems to working out for you. Me and the people around me were and still are pulling for you.

And to all the fucking goons who posted about Flex's kidneys exploding and what not: insert foot in mouth biatchs,
 
Glad to have you back and mostly your family Im sure is glad to have you back. You are right about pushing the envelope just for a trophy. I have just qualified for nat'l competition but I just dont think I have what it takes or am willing to take the quantity of gear it will take to compete at that level. I am willing to do only so much. I too am married and have a 5 year old and that is what is really important. I might do a JR USA or JR Natl in a year or 2 and if I place last so be it. I am not going to take 2k mg or more a week along with all the GH and still not make the top 5.
 
I hate to see a Iron Warrior go down, i am glad you aredoing better

flexed1


Welcome home and thank you for the update,

We will all say a prayer of thanks that you are getting better, hope for a healthy future.

Take care.
 
Flexed1- I'm not usually on the boards over the weekend, but
figured I had a little time. Glad I came today! I am SO happy
to hear your home and know a little more about your situation.
When I first found out, It really fucked me up a bit. I have been
thinking of you a LOT since this happend and thinking a lot
about life in general. I understand that steroids wasn't the
reason (or at least main culprit) here, but it still makes you
think. Why do we do these things? REALLY glad to know you
will make a full and speedy recovery. Live life to the fullest!
You never know when your number is up. God bless.

Hey fellow iron mate, good to hear you are feeling better. It takes twice the man to make it out alive from such a trajedy such as yours, but you are doing so with grace. Keep your head up and with the prayers of all the good guys on this borad you will make it out better than ever. Just remember: "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Keep ya head up! Bigty
 
Great to see that you are at home and on your way back. I too have been checking the board to get updates on how you were doing. It's wonderful to see that so many people truely care about you, with nothing more to go on than by the way you have treated people on the board. It says a lot about you as a person and a lot about the people here at elite. Keep your spirits up and enjoy every minute life has to give you.
 
its damn good to hear that you are better and hopefully will recover fully very soon:angel: :)
 
welcome back flexed...glad to hear you are in good spirits and

MY OTHER HALF WHO WAS WITH ME DAY AND NIGHT AND SPENT EVRY NIGHT BY MY BED. THATS WHAT LIFE IS REALLY ABOUT.

your a lucky man....that's when you know someone cares bro...

b.A.
 
Glad you are back and on the mend, as you can see I don't post much but have been around a while. Take care.
 
had a weird black and blue on my bicep wek before. no rashes just pain after eating.
 
Good to see you logged in Flex. Just wanted to add that even if you will no longer compete, you have much to offer others involved in the sport you love.

Hows your recovery going by the way?
 
Flexed1, Damn I'm glad your feeling better. Now if we could just get suicide victims to realize how many people can be afected by their untimely passing. It has got to feel pretty good to read all those posts and get the calls, too bad it takes you almost dying... ;)

Speedy recovery friend.
 
recovery going okay. getting stronger just tired alot. will start training in two weeks and I will AlWAYS suppourt others in search of knowledge when I know the answer. This sport really is about helping each other and growing with each other. Will one day return to a light cycle but will take protectors as well as monthly blood test. Nothing will ever sneak up on me again.
 
obviously God is out there somewhere heard mine and everybody's prayers to make you recover fast... The worst part in this situation was not knowing what was really going on with you at the hospital... At any rate, I'm glad you, bro back and sound alright... take it easy... we still need you here for advice and help, you, walking steroid library...
Glad you are back...;)
 
Glad to see your back flexed; take it easy and enjoy that lovely woman at your side as well as the rest of your family. I wish you a speedy recovery and best of luck for the future.
