hospital again

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?

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

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.
