Sunday Morning

It has an unpleasant night. Around 3:45 AM we lost power. The whole area was dark as the wond blew very hard. I figured out, thanks to my iPad that a collapsing storm line was throwing massive winds and that was what had taken down us as well as many other folks across the area. I did the reporting thing and we finally came on about 6:40. So, I guess the fridge should be okay.

In the course of the darkness, I fell twice. So, the normal back and leg pain I have is way worse this morning and my neck is sore as heck. Once was on the hallway of the house. The other was when I was out in the yard around 4:30 when I was worried that the line from the ally to the house might have gone down. I can report that 6 year old carpeting is slightly softer to land on than wed covered dry ground. 

The antibiotics continue t work me over, but, I think they are doing what they need to be doing. At least I hope so. I am spending almost all my time in bed watching tv. I am a mess and just physically can not do much right now. Going down to  the hospital yesterday just wiped me out.

As to Scott.....I do not know anything from this morning as ICU is way too busy to update me. When I was in the ER with him Thursday night and again for me Saturday night, there was a constant stream of calls of Code Blue (cardiac arrest) and various room numbers in ICU. It happens every few minutes. Nearly all of the calls are COVID-19 patients they try desperately to bring back. It was not quite as bad yesterday when I was allowed in to see him, but pretty close to it. 

I last talked to him around 10 last night and they were letting him have a little snack of juice and jello. He was a little more alert, but not by much. He pretty much does not remember anything from around midnight Thursday to sometime yesterday morning. He is in tremendous pain from having the seizure which the Fire Department paramedics estimate lasted at least 18 minutes. That is count from my call to 911 when I found him to when, after they had been here several minutes, they could get him to respond as he was still in seizure when they arrived. He calls it being worked over with a baseball bat.

At this point, we still do not know why it happened. We do know that almost everything was way out of whack body chemistry wise. The MRI ruled out anything abnormal like my big fear--cancer--and some otehr stuff. They have a kidney specialists involved now as there is concern there is something wrong there. More tests are planned, but I do not know when. 

While he is more alert, as of yesterday, they were seeing things  that gave them concern that he could have a second seizure or even a stroke. I won't bore with all of it, but basically there are still body chemistry issues that are arising as they try to make things normal and  his heart rate and BP are doing funky things. So, more worry there.

Just want to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and support. I have not bee up to trying and write everyone personally back, but know it is very much appreciated. Scott appreciates it too.
