Randy posted this to FaceBook just a couple minutes ago. Since it's on FB, I don't think he'll mind me copying it here. If he does, he can just give me a whuppin' in May, if not sooner. Here's what he reports:
***************5:20 p.m. EST Sunday
I just left Vanderbilt. I checked myself into the E R at 11 a m Saturday. Symptoms were cough and congestion for two weeks that I could not shake. Friday night I was chills set in and I now had abdominal discomfort with occasional sharp pain.
Saturday morning at 3:55 a m I had fever still spiking.
Next we arrived at the E R at 11 a m. They wanted to do blood work, urinalysis, and a chest X-ray
I thought it would be a urinary tract infection The sharp pains worried me because I had a five hour reconstructive / cancer procedure in 2013. I wanted to make sure something had not come loose.
The test so far proved inclusive. The Doc said a CT scan would be the next thing to look at. So around 4 p m I went for a CT. At 1:30 A M they move me up to the fifth floor (deluxe apartment in the sky). This morning a Doc came in at 9 o’clock and said Mr Dawson after looking at you med list and vitals , you are the healthiest 66 year old I have ever seen. He continued the scan gave us a definitive diagnosis that was easy to see
Diverticulitis.
After two days of I V meds I am on my way home typing this as we drive east on I-40 to my little piece of HEAVEN.
God is good.
