What a coincidence that you wrote this on the very day I had to go to the
hospital for a week.  I guess I had a real bad reaction to the Thanksgiving
leftovers.  2 1/2 hours of diarrhea led to dehydration and extraordinarily
low blood pressure.

So, for the first time in 5 1/2 years I had to take an ambulance ride to the
ER.
In that up in ICU for five days and was transferred down to spinal cord for
a couple more.  My doctor finally released me on Monday telling me that I
should have been released the previous Wednesday.  The ICU doctors kept
telling me I had in a UTI, but I kept insisting that I had no symptoms.  It
seems they were only treating the bacteria and using the fact my white blood
cells were elevated from the dehydration.

Thankfully I'm feeling great now and I hope to continue to do so.
It's amazing after all that time I thought it would have 100 e-mails to go
through.
