bandolin i'm sorry to hear this, keep the positive attitude up mate and you'll be fine. I can only tell you that after a dirtbike accident at the age of 13 my young brother had his spleen removed because of the damage the accident did to it. He is now 40 and has been living a very active life and still rides dirtbikes, he started riding them again a year after the accident and operation. I know its not the same thing but i believe he is also taking tablets for that reason, whether they are Antibiotics or not i don't know, he takes four a day is all i know.

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
