[Guest guest]

Hey my Dear Friends and Family!I must apologize for disappearing.....on May 5,

The Damn Dragon nearly slew me! Message to you new guys, and some of us not so

new....do not ever take this disease for granted....like one of my ICU Doctor's

said: we can't afford to let ANY sign or symptom get by us...at the LEAST one,

we need to seek immediate medical attention. Patty had been trying for over a

week to get me to go to the doctor...you see, I had been having this

greenish-yellow discharge from my eyes...well, on the date above, it all hit at

once wwith a vengance!!!!!! On that Monday, that I don't remember, I was

overtaken by confusion, shortness of breath, fever, rash, cold, clammy

skin....etc....Patty took me to the ER close to sundown....they IMMEDIATELY took

me back to an exam room and started testing...Shanna (my middle daughter) said

it was like an episode of ER! After the Doc had tried bi-pap and other methods

to get me O2 and CO2 balanced, he asked me if I wanted him to try a

vent....well, of course I was going to say " yes! " . Poor Patty said she kept

trying to get my attention asking me to tell her what to do...the Doc intervened

and said he thought I was completely out of it....he was right....so, that left

her with the decision to vent me or not....not meant that I would probably die

right there...remember my broken ribs...the Doctor said that any kind of chest

compressions would certainly cause fractures to puncture one or more organs and

lead to a painful death.....so, a vent was the best choice at the time.
