Hello tidefans and friends. I have been having some medical problems starting March 24 when I went to the emergency room finding out I had a kidney stone. After a catscan and x ray, 2 shots of Dimerol or Morophene I stopped crying and they sent me home with a bucket full of Percocet. I took so many pain killers I was hallucinating and doing some really comical things they said llike urinating on the den floor in front of the family. Six days later I passed the stone and was worn out. Two days later I went back to the ER short of breath and was admitted with a severe urinary infection, high co2 level in my blood, weak heart muscle and low low blood pressure. St Patricks hospital was horrible. The food was aweful I was living off ensure and saline water. They ran a lot of tests and sent me to a nursing home for rehab after 13 days. In that 13 days I had no bowel movement and had lost all the strength in my arms and legs. I coulld not walk or stand or pull myself up using my arms. It took the nursing home 2 days to get a bowel movement but I never was impacted or uncomfortable and had a normal movement twice at day 15 and every day since. I am taking physical therapy trying to reach a goal of being able to stand and transfer myself from wheel chair to toilet, bed, bath chair, recliner, etc. That might take a while but I have 100 days here before they kick me back home. I am in good spirits, miss everyone but this is more important right now. I should be home after July 4 sometime. At least the food here is pretty good, I have a mini fridge in my room, flat screen tv, snack drawer and it is a nice nursing home not some run down dump. Thanks for the prayers and best wishes and I will be back soon. Roll
Tide.
