[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 526879, member: 2318"] OTOH I had my brush with mortality last month. My wife woke me up in the middle of the night and said, “you’re burning up.” Also, I made zero sense when I tried to talk, and I couldn’t stand up. She called an ambulance. Got to the hosp and the above symptoms continued — BUT all the normal tests , even BP, came back normal, imaging came back fine, all organs of note were fine. So they kept me for 48 hr observation. Turned out, the day of the med incident, I’d stopped by the pharmacy in the local mega mart to get a flu shot. They said I was also just about due for two other vaccines. So I got all three shots — saved time! — and 12 hrs later I’m an effin zombie. Doc asked, “What the hell did you do that for?” “Never bothered me before,” I replied. “You weren’t 75 before,” he said. My takeaways: If possible do not get vaccines in a place where there is no bonafide medical staff. But if you must, call your own doctor’s office for advice first. And always keep your own record of scheduled vaccines, when you had them and exactly when they are due. In my case, I was very lucky my missus called the ambulance, plus I heard my daughter the APRN out in the hospital Hallway. I thought I was hallucinating, but, no, she came in and sweet talked her way in to check my reports, test results and treatment. (She was an ER Nurse for six years and was known as Nurse Bossy.). They pronounced me dumb but okay, released me, and the first thing I did at home was take a shower. Next, I smoked some Plumcake in a new Lacroix Pot out on the deck. Good as new. Well, not brand new, restored to my former state, I mean. Be careful out there brothers. The older you get, the more hostile the world becomes. [/QUOTE]
