hospital again

I’m still wondering how this happened? I’ve paid the thing at least 9 times and they’re still saying I owe more. I’ve never even been to Florida.

I get those texts all the time too, only for PA EZPass tolls! I also have several UPS packages that are apparently never going to be delivered unless I give them all of my personal information first, LOL!

My phone rings of the hook. Apparently, everyone in India wants to buy my house.

Saturday I started feeling woozy and disoriented and it felt like my friends description of his stroke. I called 911and they took me to the ER. Turned out to be very low blood sugar. They fixed that but I still was in bad shape so I spent 4 days undergoing lots of tests. Lots of theories and lots of tests. I improved but I'm still not all there. They pumped me full of drugs and minerals and released me.
I got home to find one of my guy wires had become unattached. I mentioned that to Bill (kb7epr) and he came over and fixed that as well as putting up a skybridge for my cables. As usual, "Tom you just sit and watch!" I'm so grateful for all my radio friends!

Are you a type-1 diabetic?

Are you a type-1 diabetic?

No, I'm not diabetic but they say I'm getting close. All my life I've gotten a little jittery when I fast.

When fasting, it's not uncommon to become jittery as your body adjusts to the lower sugar levels. This is especially true if your typical diet has included moderate to high carbs. Not sure what they mean by "getting close" to becoming diabetic. If the term "pre-diabetes" was used, that's an unscientific term. Though it can be a a good term when looked at as a yellow caution / warning light in the world of diabetes. Diabetes may be prevented by heeding the warning signs but once there, can never be reversed short of a new , good-condition pancreas transplant.

With prediabetes, blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Prediabetes is a serious health condition that increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

How's your blood pressure? About 20 years ago I suddenly got so weak and shaky that I couldn't stand up to pee. Wife took me to the ER and by the time I got there I was too weak to walk. Turned out that, for some reason, I was dehydrated. Spent the next few hours hooked up to an IV. I think they got my BP a little too high because when they removed the needle my blood started spurting out.

I never knew what caused the dehydration. It wasn't summer and I was drinking as much that day as usual. It's never happened again since then even when mowing the lawn in July.

Pretty much what I said without the drama.

No drama, just medical fact.
