| | Posted : 16 Sep 2012 - 10:03 Post title : Bedouin - SS nr 2 - Waiting for the bullet. | | | What I will describe below may sound a little dramatic ... but all ended well in the end.
This story more or less commences on my return leg back to Greece from the BA.com rally in Andorra, at the end of July. It has been a few weeks since being released from hospital and am glad to be here to tell the story.
Since it was an America/Speedmaster rally it goes without saying I should have taken the Speedy, but it had been occasionally firing on one cylinder and I hadn't the time to take it to the dealers before leaving.
I was also riding through some pretty rough roads in the Balkans so I decided to take the GS 1200, a capable war machine for this type of terrain.
I had ridden from Greece, through the Balkans, southern Europe to the Iberian peninsula westwards to Portugal and then coming back eastwards into the Pyrenees to Andorra.
On the Monday (30 July) we finished our "rally" and I left Andorra and went south-east to Barcelona to meet an artist friend (he had helped me fix my motorcycle several years ago).
I stayed there for an hour and had a coffee with him and then left Barcelona and was heading for Chamonix-Mont Blanc which is just below Geneva but still in France.
From Barcelona, the plan was to go to Chamonix - into Switzerland - Germany - Czech Republic - Austria - Hungary - Romania - Bulgaria and then down into Greece. (see yellow dotted line on map below).
It seems my body had other plans though.
Original intended homebound route through central Europe and Balkans (yellow dotted lines)
Going from Barcelona north into France I chose to go on secondary roads (for the most part) and keep off the boring highways.
I knew this would make an already long journey longer ... but that's me ... your lost street dog friend :-))
As I was heading north it was nearly midnight and it was getting very cold as I wasn't wearing my leather jacket yet (I was too lazy).
Eventually I put it on around 02:00 (you will see later why I am mentioning this).
Around 04:00 in the morning I stopped and found a hotel in Annecy - about an hour or so from Chamonix ... yes it was a looooong day.
The next morning I started to go to Chamonix - it was a very slow journey as I was feeling a bit sick ( ) and had a lot of pain in my lower abdomen (in the area where our appendix is).
After an hour I got to Chamonix - booked a hotel room ... and went straight to bed (at 11:00 in the morning).
Those that know me would know that I am a tough stray dog and that for me to go to bed before 02:00 in the morning ... there must be something very wrong.
I had hoped to hook up again with members Birdy68, Thatch and Bodger in Chamonix.
By this time I had pain all over my abdomen area - I thought it may have been a stomach cold (remember me not wearing my jacket?).
The following day (Wednesday) I decided something more serious is going on and decided to head back to Italy to get a ferry back home from Ancona and to forget the route through eastern Europe etc.
Actual return route from Chamonix back into Italy for ferry from Ancona to Patras in Greece (cyan/blue line).
That day I eventually reached Brescia in northern Italy (not a major achievement).
On the Thursday morning I left Brescia and headed for the port of Ancona from where I would get the ferry to Greece.
Now this journey normally takes about 4 hours ... but I did it in 19 (I am not joking).
I was unable to keep high speeds on the Autostrada so I took secondary roads and took it slow ... each bump in the road was painful.
Also, after Bologna I was stopping at gas stations every 20 km's to take a rest, it was that bad.
I eventually got to Ancona at 05:00 in the morning.
I went to the tourist port (not main port) and lay down on a park bench that I knew from other times I had been there.
It was actually a major effort to lay down and finally started to rest a bit.
As you will understand, I was already very tired from the journey and the pain had also exhausted me.
By this time I had realized my problem was much more serious than a stomach cold. I had pain all over my abdomen.
I started falling asleep and my last thoughts were (please forgive the drama but it's true) "If you die here on the park bench guy ... you go out with a smile"
I was thinking that I have had a great life until now and have no reason to complain as I have done things many people only dream of, or need 4 lifetimes to do.
So yes, as I was passing out I had a small smile on my face.
A moment later I heard the sound of a van's sliding door closing.
This was strange as it was still dawn and the whole area was dead.
I immediately thought that someone is stealing my bike.
I slowly got up but all was well with the bike.
Of course I was fully awake by now (the shock that someone was stealing my horse ... you see:-)) )
It was at this point that I decided to go to the local hospital which was about 4 km's from the port (I had seen it several times before and knew where it was).
So, I slowly rode my bike to the hospital (just like a wounded cowboy in the movies).
I don't know how I made it but I finally got to the doors of the emergency section of the hospital without falling off the bike.
I had to mentally plan how to stop the bike and simultaneously kick out the stand withought keeling over ... together with the bike on top of me. 
I must have looked like a bus had hit me because the hospital staff rushed me in to a doctor for initial examinations.
The doctors did a sonar test and then a magnetic tomography and in 45 minutes I was in the operating theatre getting ready for surgery.
I was amazed at the efficiency of the doctors, they were already holding a meeting (2 surgeons and the initial doctor who examined me), when I came back from the tomography.
The surgeons told me my abdomen was full of Peritonitis and that they had to do surgery to clean it all up before my organs were poisoned and went into septic shock.
They were amazed I had been riding for 4 days in this condition.
I don't know if you know but Peritonitis can blow out your candle very quickly.
So, I spent 2 weeks on a wonderful vacation in the hospital in Ancona.
I also have a beautiful 30 cm (with about 55 stitches) souvenir line on my abdomen.
I am told women find scars sexy so it's time to check this theory out.  
They cut a piece out of my lower intestine which had gone septic and was causing the peritonitis.
They sent this piece for biopsy and I got the results a few days ago.
All clean - no tumors or anything - but it does seems that I had this condition for quite a while, or so I am told.
One of my many new friends from the holiday resort (Ancona State Hospital) This is Monica.
When I finally was released, the surgeons were pulling their hair out because I was going to ride my bike to the port.
What did they expect, that I would leave my horse behind???
Anyway, I am not stupid. This was just a small test for my strength as the port was only 4 km's away.
The ferry left Ancona late afternoon so I had a good (another) rest for the next 24 hours.
The next evening when I finally reached Patras port in Greece I rode another 200 km's to Athens. All ok (I took it very slowly - 7 hours instead of the normal 3).
Like I said to Lee/Birdy68 during one of our phone conversations while in hospital ... a good captain always brings his ship home.  (We had examined the possibility of hooking up again somewhere in Italy (or wherever) a couple of weeks or so after the BA rally, so I called him with the news).
There is a lesson in all this for me.
If you'll forgive the dramatics but when the thought entered my head that I may be "checking out" ... I was at peace with myself and above all, content.
So here I am ... again waiting for the bullet that will take me out (maybe haha!).

The good bit is you are here and able to tell the story, peritonitis is very bad shit, as you already know. Proves that you can't keep a tough biker down and someone is keeping an eye out for you.
I really hope Monica looked after you properly

No offense taken. In hindsight I am inclined to agree with you.
At the time though, I initially thought it was a stomach cold or something.
Also, I was gunning for the port of Ancona after Chamonix so that I could get on the ferry and see a doctor/hospital in my own country.
I am also extremely tolerant to pain, plus I am very cool in stressful situations, which, of course, in this case is a huge disadvantage and could have proved fatal.
So, I initially thought the earth was flat until I figured it was round.

| | Posted : 16 Sep 2012 - 13:50 Post title : Re: Bedouin - SS nr 2 - Waiting for the bullet. (Re: Bedouin) | | | Having been a little bit, in Europe I was wondering how you actually followed the roads around over there.
I know you put big miles down.
But, man, that story is too chilling for me. I had been schlepping around for weeks with gut pain. I thought I
had pulled a muscle exercising and was taking over the counter pain meds. One day I felt so sick on top of pain, I fortunately
made it over to the Clinic where my friend works. I don't think you were being over dramatic. The body knows.
Mine did know enough to get me in the door of the Clinic.
But, the van door closing, was what woke me up in the ambulance on the way to Hospital. I too, had terminal rot gut.
Mine turned out to be a colon cancer that had exceed the bowel. So, only the beginning for me.
I am so glad you woke up on that bench and had the presence of mind to go to hospital. I am also very glad
it's something that could be fixed. Wild story with a good ending. I like those. 
In the cowboy days, the horse would bring us home. Now we have to do everything ourselves.

| | Posted : 22 Sep 2012 - 18:08 Post title : Re: Bedouin - SS nr 2 - Waiting for the bullet. (Re: Bedouin) | | | About 5 years ago, I got a call in the middle of the night from the mother of a good friend. She was crying hysterically. My friend was in Rome, and had been hospitalized for perotinitis. They did surgery to clean him up, but he ended up with a small bowel obstruction after the surgery - no pooping no eating. After a second surgery to fix that, his condition continued to worsen. Basically the doctors were no longer doing anything more for him, and were waiting for him to either get better or die. As one of his closest friends, his mother was asking me to try to get him out of there or at least to go be with him so he wouldn't be alone when he died. I kissed my wife goodbye with tears in both our eyes and set out on the first flight from JFK to Rome. When I got there the hospital was overcrowded, with dead bodies laying in the hallways on stretchers, and people screaming and moaning for help all day and night. My friend looked like just a bag of bones when I saw him, and smelled like a homeless person, but I"ll never forget the smile on his face when I walked in the room. In broken Italian and English, I tried and failed to negotiate with the doctors for his release (they didn't want to let him go - the arrogance was confounding). In the end it was like a hostage extraction. I showed up with a cab at 4am the next morning, with a pocket full of 100 dollar bills. Within 10 minutes, and about $1000 later, I had my friend unhooked from IV's, dressed, shaved, and in that cab to the airport. I'm leaving out a lot of terrifying details here (just getting on the plane was a trial by fire - you should have seen the looks we got), but by the time I got him admitted to the hospital in NY he weighed in at only 110 lbs. (normal weight 145) It took one more surgery and 6 weeks before he left hospital in NY.
Not trying to upstage you, just saying that what you went through was no joke, and i"m so glad you're OK. Word to the wise while on foreign soil - always travel with a buddy if you can. If you can not, make sure you have a way to contact someone with the resources to save your ass if you need it. Those nurses were cute, by the way!
