To answer the questions you posed in the thread subject...

No, and stop being a pussy.

But seriously folks

I'm NOT comparing my 6 week hospital stay with rocky mountain spotted fever to your dying 15 times and being in the hospital as long as you were BUT.. I can totally relate. Having an infectious disease doctor trying to figure out why I was getting fevers high enough to kill me required IV's and blood letting every hour, on the hour for weeks on end. My veins collapsed, there was only two people that could even get blood from me after a while.

Now these days, if I even get a chill that feels like a fever chill, I get a total anxiety attack and basically have an internal freak out for about 15 minutes before I can settle myself down. It sucks ass. I can imagine what you and the Niner feel is about a millionty times worserer.
