Thanks for letting us know Miles.  I'm with you.  Paws crossed they get a handle on it quickly.   


Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃

Update:  NO aneurysm !

Now they are considering whether or not it was more than just Heat Exhaustion, like....maybe Heat Stroke.

I say...NO

I have my own theories, diagnosis, assumptions, and.....I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express on my way to the USCA National Sidecar Rally.

MRI is done.  Will be interpreted tonight or tomorrow. Planning to move me to stroke floor bed tonight yet.

Updates to come when definitive.

You have to mop the floor to pay for room and board?  Sheesh, these co-pays are getting crazy!  

Sounds like some positive progress.  Glad to read you are getting out of ICU.  Must have been your good behavior.  😉

Yeah breathing unaided is considered exemplary behaviour in ICU.

That was a 3 click like.

On a serious note,  I believe that I know what El Presidente' has wrong with his brain. 

(yes, I am talking about Thane, not The Donald)

On a much less than serious note....drop him off at  Dairy Queen.....and he will be fine.

Eat

NPO tonight.  Fasting lipid panel to be drawn around 4am so they can get cracking at morning rounds.

BTW, this is a very good, very large teaching hospital.  One of the very few they brought Ebola victims home to for treatment several years ago.  All survived.

NPO tonight.  

Since Thane believes he can simply post medical abbreviations now, and somehow get away with it, I shall explain to those that don't know each and every medical abbreviation:

NPO means:  Nothing by Mouth, which means he is to NOT eat or drink anything for the next 100 days, or until he loses 57 lbs. Shut Mouth  

Which means...NO Dairy Queen for YOU  ! Excitement

Sadly probably too close to truth except my primary care physician will likely require 101 lbs.  Enough for a Honey Bun

Wait... No Ice Cream????!!!!!  Is that even legal?  Head Explody  

In America we grow sweet corn to feed happy cows to make awesome ice cream.  Depriving an American of ice cream is very... un-American!  Are you sure you weren't sent to a Canadian hospital that just looks American?  

Here's hoping you get home soon! friday

Scott....look at the post above yours from Thane. I had already posted a LIKE to his post, but then you come along, and you post a LIKE to his post, but....because you are in an ice cream haze, you didn't take notice that your single click LIKE removed my LIKE.

You have got to pay attention...Man ! This is the stuff I have been making noise about...you LIKING a post can remove the LIKE of someone that came before you.

On the Planet Sidecaria, you need to do a triple click of the thumbs up LIKE icon, so that you register a LIKE, and it also keeps the user names of all those that LIKED the post before you came along, with your sticky ice cream fingers.

Oh, the Humanity ! Scared

Update on Heat Exhausted Thane:

Approaching his 6th day in the hospital/medical center, the Shrek-like Man is still in-patient, still undergoing tests, and awaiting results of other tests.

Without beating a dead horse, this is the perfect example of just how bad things can be, and get, if riding a motorcycle or driving a sidecar rig in extreme heat.

Be Smart....stop at every Dairy Queen. Wink

Thane, did not realize the severity of your situation. Hope heat dehytration is the extent of it. 

After an earlier reading of your condition, opted to add additional gallons of water to the rig for an upcoming trip. 

Now adding coconut water as well.

Listen to the doctors and heal up fast.

Does this postpone the scheduled knee surgery?
