Great news Keyzy. Don't know your whole story but sounds terrible. I can't imagine being dizzy all the time. I saw my neighbor yesterday and he told me he had an ear infection (hadn't had one since he was a kid). Anyway, we just started talking about it and I thought of you.

Maybe TWR can help you pass this next 3 weeks away quickly.

I just saw the title and got the giggles,lol!

I went to a Shriners meeting with my Hubs on Saturday.He said you just have to sit and have a coffee and a snack.Well I was the Bell of the ball.Everyone was hugging me because I finally made it out.I hadnt seen them in like 6 months,LOL! It was fun but they wore me out.I went home and took a 2 hour nap.I pray every day that this is it and everything is going to work and I can get on with my life.I need to get working and get everything back where it belongs.Im feeling good and i think Im doing good this time.I feel like Im on my way.Im feeling very positive.

Family and Friends, Prayers for Mike, he is in ICU at St. Joes for COPD. kidney damage , high potassium and what ever else they find. The kidney damage is most likely due to the 30 odd pills he takes a day. Today he just couldn't stay awake and he wasn't making a lot of sense. I will know more tomorrow after his tests are complete.

This was my post on facebook tonight..it has been a hella of a day. Mike was sleepy last night and all day today..by about 3pm he couldn't stay awake and he wasn't repsonding in a normal way so I finally callled 911. Daughter and son met me there. Mike is sleeping well, they said in ICU and I will find out more tomorrow after all the tests are in and the Kidney, cardiac and lung Dr's see him. (Too tired to look up all the spelling for those specialties).

This morning he would flicker his eyes and go back to sleep..the lung Dr. just said Emphysema and rough breathing and left! What a jerk.
I waited all morning but he was the only one to show up. later in the afternoon the kidney Dr. called me and said Mike had an infection and that's what caused the kidney's to go south. That caused the potassium to rise. No idea what caused the lungs to start filling with fluid. But the ultra sound on his kidneys show no damage or blockages. So they are hoping for a full recovery. he will most likely go home with oxygen..he doesn't know he quit smoking yet.
My BIL the patch quitter said since nothing worked for Mike maybe he should try some of those electric cigs, with smoke ..they even have some nicotine in them! Ya think? I told him Mike has had those sitting by his bed and chair for nearly3 years!
Tonight when I went back..Mike was AWAKE and complaining! Yea Mike! he made some sense but slid into crazy pretty fast and then back to sleep after fussing at me to get his glasses and chapstick. (Daughter is on her way up to see him with those things..I am going to get some sleep!
