Hello, Dave!

Replying to a message of Dave Drum to Sean Dennis:

DD> This round of "emergencies" began with a bladder infection which shut
DD> down my kidneys ... that's scary - cuz when your kidneys die so does
DD> the rest of you.

The weirdest thing: after I was injected with the tracer (Iodine?) for the CT scan, everything hurt less.

DD> They fixed that with a massive dose of antibiotics. Which also woke
DD> the kidneyd. but led to the second trip to the ER.

When I was "treated" by the infectious diseases doctor at my VA hospital, I became allergic to five different antibiotics and he destroyed my gut biome so badly that I have to take three medications several times a day just so I don't get sick.  I lose a lot of water that way and I drink a lot of water to make up for it.

DD> The antibiotic used caused a bout of "antibiotic diarrhoea" which in
DD> its turn caused an anal bleed and I very nearly bled out. I was told
DD> that after the 8th bag of blood was put into the filler tube.

I'm glad you didn't wind up with C. diff.  That nearly killed my stepfather.

DD> Then came a bout with pneumonia which, thankfully, was not CoVid.

Still, pneumonia is terrible.

DD> Followed on by a collapsed lung. Then this latest trip to the ER. Much
DD> to the chagrin of my remaining enemies I'm still here. No plans to
DD> check  out any time soon.  Bv)=

Same here.  A patriuclar person in Fidonet even accused me of lying about my heart attacks to get attention.

After surviving two heart attacks, two huge pulmonary embolisms, and a deep vein thrombosis, I still don't have plans of leaving this earthly realm.
