He did contact me as well last night & was in high spirits albeit not in the best shape. Godspeed to him & his family in this difficult time. He has been such a massive contributor to this forum & I hope he continues to do so. If I hear from him I will also revert.

Good afternoon forum members,

Update regarding @TaliaBprogress in hospital. I spoke to his wife this morning and was given permission to post what happened his symptoms and his progress. He suffered a pulmonary embolism and had difficultity breathing. He was placed under sedation for the past 2 days and is currently receiving high flow oxygen therapy and was placed on an Streptokinase drip to dissolve the blood clots in his lungs. He is still in high care unit and not out of the woods just yet but doctors are positive of a full recovery after blood clots are dissolved and clears. 

Derek.

Thank you. In our thoughts.

Sincerely 

Jason

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family🙏

Thank you guys for keeping us posted on @TaliaB

We prey for his speedy recovery. 

Oh no! he's such a generous and knowledgable contributor to this forum. I hope he pulls through and is restored for full health. Embolisms are well understood and are treatable these days, so I'm sure he will be OK.

Almost certainly there was deep vein thrombosis first. I have had at least 3 DVTs (per the specialist, who could see the scarring in my veins) though none of them resulted in an embolism. In my case it's genetic, and I have to be on anti-coagulants for life. 

The reason I relate this is that if you get swelling, throbbing pain, and/or reddening  in a limb (usually one limb, usually a leg) then don't tough your way through it. Please go to a doctor and get it checked out. As with embolisms, the condition is well understood these days and treatment has a high success rate. Tests for genetic conditions (as I have) are also simple and reliable now.

Just got a msg from his wife and she indicated they will decide tomorrow if they might have to operate to get rid of 2 clots in his right lung. 

@Derek3 will keep us updated. 

Morning all,

Spoke to his wife this morning, he is moved from high care to Icu and placed on a ventilator as the high flow oxygen treatment is no longer viable. They will surgically ( Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) ) remove the 2 clots in his right lung that has not been dissolved by the IV medication. He is scheduled for 12 today in Mauritiun time 2 hours ahead of SA. The specialist is positive for a favorable outcome. I will report any further news.

Have a good Saturday.

You are in our prayers @TaliaB  for a speedy recovery. 🙏

Strongs for all family and friends. 🪔

Good evening,

I had word from @TaliaBexhausted wife after a very long day at hospital as the surgery lasted 10 hours. The physician said that the procedure was a success and both clots was removed. He will be in ICU for the next couple of days. He was removed from the ventilator and back on high flow oxygen treatment that is a good sign. Futher as precaution he is receiving anti coagulant medication and antibiotics through iv placed in the main artery in the neck. His brothers and wife has also joined the family today so from here forward i am sure all will be on the up and up. Thanks to all on the forum for rallying your support around him it is much appreciated by the family.

Have a good evening 

Derek.

@Derek3 many thanks for the update and I and others continue to wish @TaliaB a swift and full recovery. He's truly and invaluable member of this community who is well regarded, knowledgeable and amiable. Kindly also pass on our warmest regards and best wishes to him and his wife.

Good afternoon all,

First of all @TaliaBis doing much better and is now in the general ward awaiting pathology tests that has been sent to Paris 'Laboratoire Cerba" operates on the French and international markets of specialized clinical pathology. The reason the physician had made the decision to seek specialized intervention is they can't find any traces of DVT( deep vein thrombosis) where the blood clots could have originated from and no injury or surgery that could have been the causes of the clots in the lungs.  According to @TaliaB brother they are not comfortable to discharge him until the results is known from the pathologist in France. He is taken off all oxygen and breathing freely and comfortable. He is still on blood thinning iv as a precaution measure. By the sounds of it he is now desperate to get back home to Cpt who can blame him.

Hopefully this will be my last update as i am sure he will be back on the forum soon then he can share more detailed information about the cause of the sudden blood clots.

Regards

Derek.

I got the latest from Belinda. @TaliaB has been discharged after they received the results of the tests from France. He is still very sleepy and on his way home. 

I am sure he will be able to give us an update shortly. 🙏🙏

Good evening all after being out of action due to above medical reasons. I will keep this short so we can concentrate on solar matters.
It was close for me leaving this life. I am thankful for world class physician and surgeons in the C care Welkin hospital in Moka. Special thanks to my wife that endured the long waits at the hospital.

Just a brief summary as to what got me in hospital.

I was originally admitted for hypoxemia where my blood oxygen saturation was below 82%.with 3 blood clots in the lungs.

I was diagnosed (Laboratoire Cerba) in Paris with a clotting disorder called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), and it is rare—an updated safety analysis showed that, as of March 19 out of more than 2.2 million people who got J&J,Vaccines 294 cases of TTS were reported and thirty people died due to clots in the lungs. I am currently on Rivaroxaban (Anticoagulants) under the brand name Xarelto.

I will be home soon to rest for a while before getting into my daily routine. 

Many many thanks for all you guys that rallied your support around me in my diffucult time it is highly appreciated.

Forgive me if any above is written a bit bonkers i am still very queasy from the op and all the medications that is now finding their way out the body.

Have a good evening.

@TaliaBvery glad to have you back & well. You had a close call but we are relieved that it went in your favor. All the best with your recovery!!!

@TaliaB all the best my mate during your recovery. Also a thanks to @Derek3 and Belinda for keeping us informed. 

A relief to know you were in good hands. 

@TaliaB  Welcome back and I hope you get to top condition soon.

So great to see you back on the road to recovery, may you go from strength to strength to a full recovery as soon as possible.👍

Unfortunately, it was not just the J&J that had unhappy side-effects, some colleagues at work now have serious medical conditions due to "needing to fly" during the plandemic, which required the jab.

Hope to see you fully engaged in solar discussions again.😀

@TaliaBVery happy you are feeling better bud believe you are on your way home from MRU to OR Tambo then to CPT. Take it easy have a good rest and you will be back in the saddle in no time.

Regards

Derek

Glad you back sir. Best of luck on the road to full recovery.

Glad to hear you're OK. I've enjoyed your contributions to this forum. They're very helpful to folks like me who have a little bit of (mostly outdated) knowledge.
