I've just spent five days in the hospital and have been assurred that my heart, lungs and whatever else are all good. Apparently my instintive response to pain under my ribs on the left side, which was to curl into a fetal position and hunch my shoulders was the opposit of what I needed to be doing, I'm now straightening up and breathing deeply and feel much better. It was scarey. I still don't have a definative diagnosis but all the big nasty stuff that they can test for has been rule out.
I'm glad to be back and able to post, especially on such a happy thread.
My niece, who is much like a daughter to me, arranged to fly down from her home in Portland to visit me. All worked out perfectly with my release from the hospital and we are happily vegging at our hotel until Sunday. No agenda except I'd like to see "The Revenant." If we don't it's no big deal.
I was happy to report all the good news to my friends in Mexico. I hope I'll be able to head for home towards the end of next week. I see my doctor Tuesday morning.
The hospital took great caare of me. Two days in ER and three in the regular hospital.
Regards to Lucy the snake and everyone else. I'm too happy about the results of the hospital to post about much of anything else.
