Rushed to hospital
« on: June 20, 2015, 03:00:40 PM »
I have to apologise to all the members for my sudden disappearance from the forum.

I was rushed by ambulance to hospital on Wednesday with an unknown infection, very high temperature and uncontrolable shakes. When checked at the hospital it was found that I had a severe UTI and a lung infection plus a dose of pneumonia and fluid on the lungs. Massive doses of intravenous anti-biotics and penecillin soon had the situation under control, my wife picked me up from the hospital and took me home Saturday afternoon. I'm still on another two weeks of oral anti-biotics and more blood test to be done on Monday, the doctors were unable to determine the cause of the infections. Hopefully all will be well again from today.

I am sorry to hear that, Des. Could it be a delayed reaction from that monster spider bite? I sure hope not and that you recover soon! Best wishes, Pietro Pinoni.

   Take it easy Des, and I hope you are over the worst of it, take care and let your body do the healing with the aid of the wonders of modern medical therapy. Part of the wonders of the "maturing process" as I'm sure you know.........just ask me! Best wishes my friend.
Cheers,
Lance
