    It's early. The beached whales don't have their bathing suits on yet. :D

    Trust me I'm doing other natural things also. Not a big fan of drugs and their side effects but when something like this hits it hits like a sledge hammer all I wanted was it to stop. After years of abusing my body sports and motocross I've gotten used to pain and having to heal. I'll take another broken femur over another embolism. Appreciate the idea checking into it now.

    Unless they're union grunts. Then they get to pick and choose what they deal with.

    The meds are needed for prevention. I think they said she had at least 7 total, more on one lung than the other. We were surprised, but relieved that it wasn’t something worse. In 5 yrs. since She’s been with Me on the Truck, she’s been hospitalized 4 times. 4 days each. Twice with Kidney stones, once for a gall bladder surgery gone bad, of all things. Don’t ever believe that’s a simple procedure. There’s a lot of screw ups doing routine gall bladder surgery. Have to pick the right Doctor for that one. Simple out patient money making procedure, is being performed by inexperienced Doctors. Often they cut the wrong tubes, leaving people with a lifetime of problems. These are things I wish I’d never learned. But it’s what it is. Slightest little infection, after 50 yrs old, easily turns into sepsis. Requiring Intravenous Antibiotics for 3-4 days. Made me a believer. Can’t just blow off a locally infected cut or scrape, or abscess tooth, and the older you get, the worse. It’s like pneumonia, sepsis kills people, after they’re in the hospital being treated. Not to be a bummer, just something to be aware of as we age.

    I wondered about that when you described your 1st fiasco. Dumb friend asked smart friend how he managed? Smart said smart pills. I've got a few left at $5.00 each. Dumb buys, examines little black pills.
    Takes one, states: Um, tastes like goat ####. Smart says see:? You are getting smart already...
    Obviously you used experience rather that smart pills. Our compliments.

    Sounds like a typical Memphis attitude, even from many years ago.

    Everyone has a dumb pill jar. Every day we take only one pill. Yet every once in a while we screw up and take dumb pills by the handful.

    Do what the doc says on the 2 hrs and walk. That's the reason for the stretchy stockings after heart surgery,
    keep BC's from even forming and it do, keep from raveling upward.
