Info on me!

As most of you know, I am a one man band for this blog. If I go down, the blog stops!

This is what happened last Fri. I went to the ER with blood in my urine and wound up unconscious and in the ICU for 4 days! They say I stopped breathing  and responding to anyone. But, I came out of it Sat. and woke up OK.

I didn’t get out of the ICU until Tues and wed and thur were filled with visiting nurses.

So, I will be taking a few days off for the next week to get myself right.
