Temporary reprieve...

Ok folks, I have a legitimate time allotment in order to update everyone hehe.
I had a docs appt this morning at 7:30 a.m. - I got out of the hospital at 2 p.m.
Apparently I was rather dehydrated ... go figure. They did something call orthostatics?? where they take your b/p laying down, sitting up and standing up. Then they did a bunch of blood tests.
I failed 
When I woke up this morning, I started my day the usual way, I woke up, laid in bed waiting to see if my head hurt. It didn't so I stood up. I then promptly ran to the bathroom to throw up yet again.
Apparently, if I'd waited it out another day, the next step would have involved coma renal failure and other pesky little things like that.
So 3 bags of IV fluid later, a few prescriptions for the nausea, and they let me loose with the caveat that I would follow Clark's strict instructions.
Anywho, I'm alive and kicking (barely) and I need a few days rest and recuperation so they say, so I will be absent for a few more days.
sorry folks , there's lots I want to answer and things I want to be doing, but Clark's rules are pretty strict 
Take care everyone, and I'll be back to 100% before you know it! And I am now allowed personal emails at least, so I can answer those 
Luv ya
Cat

I went through that, so many times I lost count....
when I was in the hospital for DHE treatments.
I was so drugged up, I can't remember if that's
what they called it.
Good luck Cat, & get well soon.
Thank you Clark, for all you are doing.

100% seems to be your modus operandi.....(the way you operate, in Canadian). If it's Emails you want, I'll forward all the penis enlargement ads, the mortgage info, and the pharmocopias. Education is everything.

Thanks for the update. Mind your Ps and Qs during your "grounding" so you get better and can come back to the playground.
