I'd like to thank all those who were asking about my health lately, its been quite a roller coaster ride, on Friday I had to drink 32 oz of water before having a Ultra Sound and then they wanted me to pass it, just like that, if I could I wouldn't have needed the ultra sound in the first place, so all day Friday I spent the day getting rid of all that water, come Saturday I'm drinking liquid trying to make sure I didn't become dehydrated but passing nothing and by sunday I was a mess, my head was spinning and I was emptying my pouch every couple of hours and not eating so it seems all the liquid I was drinking was going to the wrong place and by sunday I had to go to the ER and after four hours I was threatening to leave when one of the nurses realized I was in no shape to even do that so they took me in and out comes the catheter with very little to show for it and now they decided I was dehydrated. After a regimen of whatever and antibiotics they kept me in until today, Friday. At least they don't believe I had a fistula which was a big relief, as long as they are right, and after all the Xrays and CT scan I'm hoping they're right. To make a long story short, I was sent home with a catheter and next week my family doc will remove it in his office and maybe by that time I'll feel a bit more human. I thank each and everyone who asked about my health and wish you all the very best, Ed
