Hive Saves!!
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I'm making my first official post of the year and the first normal post since my accident. For those of you who do not know, I was shot on the 8th of last month being December while trying to defend my sister from those who wished to harm her. I was in the hospital for three weeks before I was discharged.
MY TALES FROM THE HOSPITAL
After a chest x-ray was done, the doctors realized my left lung had collapsed because one of the pellets from the gun made its way there and filled my chest with fluid. A chest tube was passed into my chest to drain out the liquid and give the lung a chance to expand. After a few days, the fluid was drained out but I still needed some units of blood because I lost a whole lot from the shooting and the draining. Luckily for me, I could urinate properly so I thought my kidney should be fine. This is what the Xray looked like before and after the draining for those of us that understands.
The tube was removed later on but I still had trouble walking because of the pain I was feeling. The physiotherapist came to help with walking and breathing exercises. I felt like I had taken "walking" for granted all my life because I couldn't walk at the moment. After a few days of exercising, I could finally stand up. I was discharged from the hospital later on. The bill was sorted out (thank you to everybody that sent something, the people, the communities, I am forever grateful. It really helped with the bills).
POST HOSPITAL
Its really no fun when you can't move around the way you want to. I mostly just laid down and watched youtube shorts. When I wasn't doing that, I was sleeping but I gradually was able to move around a bit.
I went for a CT scan and by some miracle, none of the pellets hit any of my vital organs. The doctors were mostly worried about my left kidney but one just stopped close to it.
I'm back in school now because I have to finish my project or wait a whole year and do it with the set before me. Not to worry, I don't go out, I sit at home and someone helps me run around for a price of course. I am not yet at fully strength to move around for a long time.
The only issue now are the pellets still inside me (that sounded weird). The doctors say they can't go chasing pellets so they don't puncture anything but most of them have come to the surface of my skin and I can feel them on my back when I sit. I'm told I can have those surgically removed when I fully recover.
That's basically it for now. I just sit in my room planning to make hive posts and looking for my remote things to do while I wait. I want to use this time to learn how to animate and play the guitar so please if you know good online classes, you can suggest them here.
I go for check up every two weeks to make sure there are no other complications. The doctors prescribe some anti-biotics and multi vitamins for me to take
This is also the last time I'm tagging everybody to my post, I'm going to continue with business as usual. Thank you so much guys, you really helped and I feel my thank you isn't enough.

Praise God you are feeling better now.
Take the best care of yourself and God bless!
Thanks so much
It's so good to have you back, I'm so happy to hear you are recovering well.
I've missed listening to you sing and now you are planning on learning how to play a guitar, that's really cool, I can't wait to see you play, hehe.
All the best with your project and complete recovery 🤗.
Happy new year and you are welcome, just get well already 😜.
I really missed being here. Happy new year, glad we made it through together.
I can't wait to start singing again but the doctors advised I rest a bit
Yeah, I'm glad we made it.
No rush at all, I just said I missed listening to you sing, I don't want to until you've fully recovered 😂.
Oh my!
You still have pellets in your body? That sounds scary but I would choose not to worry much.
You'll definitely be fine totally.
I wish I could learn to play an instrument too 🥲 nice plan, I'm very sure you'll have fun learning it.
Can't wait to hear you sing again and come crack us up at COM 😁
Welcome back Nelson ❤️
I've missed our banter. I can't wait to get back with COM.
Thank you for the well wishes, doesn't mean I won't shade you at COM
Lol you will never stop, I'm very sure of it 😂
Well, I'm waiting for you
I'm glad to hear that! Take care of yourself!
!HBIT
Thank God you are now feeling better now.
Just make sure you keep going for regular check up, it very important. Wishing you success this year all the way
Praise God that you are recovering! So glad to know, and thank you for the update!
It's good to have you back and healthy, man.
Phew! You did go through something, and it was a lot. Thankfully, you are here and standing, despite it all.
It will be kind of rough, as you are having it, to get back to normal. But with time, you will be good as new again.
It shouldn't take drastic events in our lives to make us appreciate the things we freely have. Notwithstanding, they may happen, and they remind us of the things we should always be grateful for. I am glad you are here to testify to that with your mouth (or, should I say, your fingers?)
Picking up the guitar is an excellent choice. You'll find countless videos all over YouTube that you could learn from, but it can be overwhelming sometimes.
My advice is to start with songs you enjoy playing and look for videos to help you play them while singing along. Over time, you'll grow into knowing the kind of guitar playing you like (if you don't already) and then explore deeper from there. Keep in mind that the calluses will come for you eventually. When they do, just know that you are certainly improving.
Good luck, mate!
I have plenty of songs to work with, and someone here offered to sponsor me for a class so thats great. Thank you so much
It's alright, man. Good to have you back. And in a couple of weeks, you'll be back for Open Mic, and with a guitar too.
Praise GOD you are alright, take good care of yourself Brother.
Thank God you're getting better... Nigerian schools can be crazy, so doing your project this way is better eeeehn 😪
For the Guitar lessons... you can download the app SPICY GUITAR ACADEMY from Google Playstore it also has Web version for laptop and iPhone users.
It is an online learning platform created by OC Omofuma (Spicy Jazzy). He is one of the best, popular and vast guitarist in Nigeria. He plays for Adekunle Gold, Simi and many Nigerian artists. You remember Duduke, Uyo Meyo, Smile for Me and many other songs that the guitar is unique... even Airtel, MTN and Glo adverts with better guitar.. na him dey run am.
I know him personally and I am somehow part of the project as well.... (just that I'm really busy now)....
So, I'm sure you'd learn a lot from the step by step tutorials.. with close to a thousand videos...
You will learn from start (like someone who just saw guitar for the first time) to finish and ask questions directly to him from the platform.... and there are assignments to ensure that you improve and you get things correctly.
Sponsoring a 3 month's subscription for you won't be bad... but I'll be doing it one one month ooo... 😅😅😅 (its not expensive, but lemme sha support small) so you can be in the convenience of your room, watching, learning, asking questions, getting responses.... and growing... and very soon, you'll add guitar to your musical entries on Hive. 😁
Are you active on your discord?
wow, thank you so much. I can't believe what I'm reading this morning.
yes, I know him. Thank you for the sponsorship, its so helpful, I really wasn't expecting something like this.
I am active on discord
@Nelsings is my username.
I am glad you are back even though still with pellets 🤭🤭....it's well with you
You have gone through a lot Nelson but I thank God for ur life... gradually, you will be totally fine again
!ALIVE

@nelson-george! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @nkemakonam89. (4/10)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.
My friend, thank God you are well, I am very happy. I wish you a speedy recovery and keep going. Best regards.
Wow, I'm so happy to read this post, I was so emotional when I saw the post last month. Thank God for the quick recovery and I wish you more recovery.
Don't stress yourself please, you will be okay.
Welcome back man, you are a great survivor, nothing will happen to you legend .
thanks so much, the encouragement means alot
I am so shocked to find out this happened to you. Had to go back to your previous posts to get the gist. Sorry man. I'm really glad you're a lot better now.
@nelson-george I have to ask, why am I being tagged!?
I'm sorry, I just tagged everybody @chincoculbert helped me tagged because I couldn't keep track of the people that sent help and I just wanted everybody to know I'm okay
It's great that you still want to do something even in your current state. Most people was just want lay around doing nothing.
It's a good thing that the doctors at UUTH took and are still taking good care of you. I'm guessing everyone has their different history with that hospital 😅.
When you say pellets it sounds like they bullets were plenty. Did they really plan to end your life🤔?
The surgical removal of the pellets would be another phase. I hope you pull through it just fine.
Anywho, it's good to have you back☺️✨.
those little dots from the x ray are the pellets.
I don't want to think about it too much, but thanks, I'll definitely scale through
Alright then.
Stay safe ✨
Reading this article makes me understand how much we don't appreciate a lot of things.
I am happy you are recovering and things are getting back in place gradually. I wish you success in your project and learning the guitar is really a awesome thing to do.
Dear @nelson-george,
Our previous proposal expired end of December and the Hivebuzz project is not funded anymore. May we ask you to review and support our new proposal (https://peakd.com/me/proposals/248)?
Thank you for your help!
When we are healthy and okay, we don’t really appreciate it.
Sorry you had to go through this….. very soon you will recover. Amen.
You sure you can cope with school?
Well, we thank God for the saving.. if it has hit any vital organ.. it won’t be the same story.
Welcome back.. and stay strong!!!❤️
Glad that you are getting better, and please don't rush yourself, just take it easy and slow, gradually everything will be fine.
Your sister is very lucky to have someone who would protect her, this just shows the depth of your love and devotion to her, thank God you are doing alright and recovering well.
😱 I am very sorry that you are going through this situation, but it makes me think that you were able to save your sister and that is why you are not doing so well now. You were a hero and that and much more we are willing to do for what we love. I hope you can make a speedy recovery and that the time you have now can be used to cultivate a new hobby and also to dedicate more time to Hive.
Thank God you can get better from this. 🙏🙏❤️
