The closest of calls.
« on: May 01, 2011, 10:23:19 AM »
I wrote a few days ago about having trouble with my legs, and the doc's thought they had it figured out.  They didn't.   :-\  What happened was far worse.  My potassium dropped to 1.4, I was paralyzed from the waist down, and spent 3 days in the Cardiac ICU. All was due to a high sensitivity on my part to a new BP medicine.  The endocrinologist told me he's never seen a potassium that low in a patient with a beating heart.  :o  It was so bad that I had to stay in the ER for 9 hours because the ICU was full and no one else would take me.  It's pretty bad when the hospital says you're too sick to admit, lol.  All is well now though.  I think that prayers you all sent up really helped, as on  paper I should be dead, but in fact I'm now as healthy as I've ever been!

Wow. Glad to hear you're OK.

Life takes us down bumpy roads sometimes.

It's an adventure though, right?

 ;) ;D

They may talk of a "New Order" in the  world, but what they have in mind is only a revival of the oldest and worst tyranny.   No liberty, no religion, no hope.   It is an unholy alliance of power and pelf to dominate and to enslave the human race.

Glad to hear it, and... hang in there, brother.

Jesus said we should treat other as we'd want to be treated... and he didn't qualify that by their party affiliation, race, or even if they're of diff religion.

I've had some pretty bad reactions to meds so I can sure feel for you. Hang tough and glad you went in and are doing better. Friends are way to valuable to lose.

Glad to hear you are doing well now!  Nothing worse than unexplained illness.

Glad to hear you're doing better. Believe in the power of prayer. And thank God for giving knowledge to our physicians.
