Bummer Gene, so sorry to hear. Getting old sucks. Recently my sodium level dropped, passed out, and fell down peeling my scalp back. Ann called an ambulance because of all the blood loss. EMT guy fell down when he slipped in the blood on the floor. Eighteen staples in head, MRI, CT scans, ultrasounds, etc. Not a drip IV, but two pumps injecting solution into the back of each hand. Five days in the hospital, and told them I'm ready to go home - I said they couldn't keep me there against my will. Had a hard time walking for a couple of days after.
After falling in a fire in my burning pit last year tripping on the brick fire ring, third degree burns resulted. Three surgeries later, back at it. Nice battle scars I have. Ann says I'm not as young as I used to be. I'm more careful these days. Ann shut me down when I was climbing a ladder with a running chain saw recently to cut tree branches. Only the good die young I say.
Take care my friend.
