Hi all. I am back in the hospital. Damn!
Had a scary evening Friday. I was at a friends house waiting to watch the Wisconsin football game. Suddenly I kept getting dizzier and dizzier. I was about to say something when I woke up on the floor surrounded by EMT types.
My friend, a retired nurse (so she has seen a lot) said it was scary. I glazed over, foamed at the mouth, and collapsed. She did say the EMTs were there almost immediately. I vaguely recall trying to say ”I’m okay.” At least I think I did. But my friend put an end to that nonsense. I was pale, clammy, sweating, nauseus, and barely able to converse. Next thing I knew, Im bouncing in an ambulance as they attached me to an IV and several other mecical devices. I know they thought I was having a heart attack. In fact, before they let me go today, one more check on my heart. And yes. Contrary to public opinion, I have one.
Much more likely, this is related to the infection I’ve been fighting over the past month or so (they pumped me full of antibiotics over the weekend). This Urinary Tract Infection (possibly caused by e-coli bacteria) may have impacted my kidneys and prostate. But all that may sound more ominous than it is. My readings were getting better before this setback.
Home today I hope. However, future posts may be at a slower rate. We will see!

You’re too tough to check out that way. When you leave this plane you’ll probably be ski diving or something similar. Get well, my friend.

I also had a frightening encounter with UTI. A bunch of antibiotics and some rest and I recovered quickly. I hope that you too will recover quickly.
Peace,
Don

At our age, these are nothing to take lightly. They literally can knock you on your ass.
