Welll guys I’ve had quite ride the past few months. Started toward the middle February. Got Flu A and wa pretty sick. Started feeling better however the wife got real sick and ended up in the hospital with double puenmonia. One evening after visiting my wife I decided to grab a bite to eat at a local. Midway during the mea I started feeling quizze so I headed home. About 0200 the next morning I started montezumas revenge from both ends. Real sick. By early morning it subsided and I fell asleep. Suddenly the doorbell rang and I jumped up to answer it. Big mistake. I took a few steps and down I went. Vertigo. I do remember my head hitting the floor. After a bit of time I managed to get back on the couch. I called my granddaughter and asked her to come over. Thinking it was food poiening I called the restaurant where I ate and talked to the manger. I then called 911. The paramedics showed and did their thing. They loaded me in the ambulance and off we went. They weee super busy with me. I noticed they had the jump start kit out so this can’t be good.
Anyway after that my mind is blank. Just remember the talking but that’s all
Apparently they took me for a CT scan and while I was in the tube I threw up, and aspirated. They took life saving measures and performed CPR for two minutes, I was revived and since Inhad fluid in my lungs I was put on a ventilator for four days. I was sedated after that. I do remember my son and granddaughter buts still foggy. I finally woke up in the ICU. I was transferred a few says later to the Stroke floor. Apparently in all this I had several strokes. My right arm was swollen because of fluid retention so the had me on IV Lasix. I peeded myself multipule times. ICU took out the carth. I was in that floor for seven days. They did an evaluation and it was decided they would send me to a rehab hospital. I was a mess, couldn’t stand or walk. This thing kicked my [censored].
After 23 days of rehab I’m at my sons place where he’s been helping my wife. I’m getting home health care.
Oh, when I was wretching out both ends it turns out it was mostly blood. Turns out I also had bleeding ulcers so the gastric doc took care of them. Turns out I took 3 units of blood.
