Good Morning, I am... still with you guys!

 

First, Thank You for many well wishes conveyed it is much appreciated.

Thought I was dealing with 9 days of the flu. However,  I was doing light wrenching in the shop, I started to violently shake, instant high fever. Connie and I headed to the ER, of course by the time we got there, the symptoms somewhat subsided, unable to find the cause and I was admitted. Two days later it reappeared in front of two Doctors in my room then I went unresponsive. I woke two hours later to bright overhead lights. lucky for me they were hallway fluorescent ceiling lights.  CAT scan confirmed a liver abscess/ sepsis.  A week later, I am home and feeling a bit better each day..... Again thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.  ~Alan

Alan-glad you are on the mend.It sounds familiar-Last year my wife and I had taken our granddaughters to the Zoo in Jerusalem and I started shaking for the first time ever. I hadn't felt well for a few days.My son took me to an emergency clinic and my white count was through the roof. I received  immediate IV antibiotics and fluids-excellent care by both an Arab and a Jewish doctor-was a urinary infection. I was supposed to fly back to the states the next day but that was out of the question.

We had taken trip insurance for the first time and it covered all medical and travel  expenses for us.

See you at Carlisle,

Joel
