I got a kick out of the "non-serious" replies and thanks guys for the well wishes. I feel really well now but for fun I'll tell you about the week I had.
On Monday, 12/01, having had some shrimp in three of the previous 5 days, I found that I was allergic to shell fish. By late afternoon I was frantic with a rash and itching like crazy. My wife drove me to "Urgent Care" and I got a shot in each cheek, one of which was 50mg of Benadryl. By the time I left there I would say I had been turned into a zombie, but that's not right because a zombie can walk and talk. I had to be wheel-chaired to the car and my wife had to get help to get me out of the car and into the house. The next couple of days I felt lousy and finally on Thursday, 12/4 my wife called 911 because we couldn't get my heart rate over 46. I have had Bradycardia (slow heart rate) for some years and at night my heart rate would go into the 30s).
So I was an add-in at the hospital to have a Pacemaker put in which didn't happen until late Friday, 12/5. When they X-rayed my chest back in recovery to see if the probes were placed properly, one was not and the doctor had already gone home. We waited for him to return and when he got there I was put under anesthetic a second time and the procedure repeated. It was 9:30 at night when I finally returned to my room.
I was released from the hospital Saturday, 12/6 but it took a few days to feel OK probably from all the stuff that had been injected into me.
Here I am in Florida, can't play golf for four weeks, and my trains are home up north. However, I feel great now and happy to still be on top of the grass.
Here endeth the Epistle,
