How's your day been?
- Thread starter Kevin
- Start date
And now we've got three down. My wife, our youngest, and myself. Had someone take our oldest to school today and will pick him up - neither my wife nor I are in any condition to drive right now.
New glasses yesterday, finally broke down and went to bifocals. walking into things and tripping on curbs today....
I spent Tuesday in the ER. I was puking for 3 days, and couldn't even keep water down.
They gave me some anti nausea meds & sent me home.
Not much help, but at least my pee doesn't look like pancake syrup any more.
I was able to drink a lot of water and even eat something today.
My blood sugar was completely screwed up, so were my electrolytes & my liver enzymes.
I was exhausted when I got home but never got a decent diagnoses.
Now I have to drag my butt to the pain clinic tomorrow, and then go see my regular Dr. on top of that.

Funny. I took that plunge about a month ago. I didnt realize how bad my vision was until I put the glasses on. It was an oh wow moment, now I can see again.

Still praying for you Herb.
Thanks man. I can use all the prayers I can get. I went to the pain clinic & my insurance won't pay for my regular meds for another 3 days, so they were nice enough to give me something to tide me over until I can get the r/x filled.
It's better than nothing, believe me. I am still dehydrated and not eating much.
I hope I get over whatever it is soon. I know it's not the flu, because the flu has entirely different symptoms than what I have.
I did good to drive today, because I am still dizzy & light headed.
I can't move too fast or I feel like I'll pass out.
Wonder how your oxygen level is?
Hope you and your family feeling better.

Drove 4 1/2 hrs up north on monday to go snowmobiling for a few days,went out riding on tuesday only to have my mighty yamaha breakdown(battery died) about 75 miles from the lodge we stay at, couldn't get it jumped so we left in in the woods overnight. Had to ride about 100+ miles double on the wifes sled. Got it going on wednesday (new battery) did some riding. Left for home on thursday, stopped at the itasca state park to ride. This is the state park where the mississippi river begins, Over all a great vacation.
On the older models, you could still run them without a battery. Guess you don't have a pull start ..?.. Don't think it matters anyway with the new ones, as they need a charge for the computer to work. We had a chance to go last weekend in central NY, but I got called in to work extra runs. Plus had extended family time that was much needed. So we saw family and lots of sleds the one day we were up there. Kind of like seeing everybody getting a huge steak, while you have just water because of medical fasting...
At the hospital the other day, it was 96%. That's normal for me.
I am back to peeing pancake syrup again. A nurse from the hospital called me yesterday to check on me (bless her heart), and gave me the results of my blood tests, and chest x-rays.
Both tests were within range, but my BP was elevated, probably because of stress.
I think I'm going to have to go back for an extended stay at the hospital next week. They need to find out what's going on with me.
I haven't been sleeping, eating, or doing much of anything lately. Just feeling bad.

Thanks, Troy. Right now all four of us are down for the count... There's at least two different things working its way through our house right now...
Not to discourage you @Sprung Matt, but my wife is a nurse at a children's hospital. They tested one child and he had 4 different viruses at the same time. These kids and the respiratory viruses they have these days is incredible. Hang in there, at least you aren't stuck on a cruise ship at a dock in Japan.
The yamaha is a four stroke so there is no pull start,it is the one thing about the new four stroke s that i don't like. I would love to ride in upstate new york.
Sorry to hear that matt.hopefully it will work it's way through pretty soon.

Betty and I have wittle ford focus that we have decided to sell. I parked it about 6 months ago because it needs front brakes, the rotors warped and where pulsing. I have a friend that is a certified mechanic and he'll do the job for $50 labor. So i picked up the pads and rotors and such. After the car sat for so long the rotors really rusted and it was making all kinds of noise, lol. One hard brake and the front left wheel locked up. I've heard of rotors breaking but never had it happen to me before today. It is now a 2 piece rotor, lol.
It might have wiped out the caliper too, wont know until he gets into it.

Herb. Thanks for keeping us up to date on your status. Hang in there.
It has been a good day. Walking along the Columbia River and saw some wonderful sights. Plan to take my call with me tomorrow and see if I can call them in closer.
Well, I finally got my regular meds on Sunday. That alone shocked me, because around here, every Sunday towards the end of the month, the pharmacy is usually out of my particular medication. I guess it paid off going on Saturday and dropping off the r/x, so I was in line to get them (so to speak).
Usually, if I wait until Sunday to get it filled, they are out until at least the following Thursday.
Maybe Jesus was watching over me this time.
