Not with it yet just out of the hospital today. Was admitted with a BP of 70 over 40, in ICU for a couple days. I'll tell more later once I am up to it.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

Thanx guys. I got sick and ignored it and kept going to work as always. I loaded a Corvette and had to actually lay on the groung to apply the hooks. It took all my strength to get back up. I jst thought I had the flu or something. I then went home early, something I never do. I made a doctors appt a day later. That's when I found out how low my BP was. I went right to the ER then the ICU. My sugar was all out of wack and my potassium and sodium were both dangerously low to the point of organs shutting down. they thought Legionairs Disease but turned out to be really bad pneumonia. then it was just IVs and constant blood being drawn and needles. I had some massege things on my legs to prevent clots. I had fevers come and go et6c...

Sounds like they are getting ahead of it now.
Good luck, do what the doctors tell you to do.

Oh man, I know about your problems! My departed wife suffered with low blood pressure and "problem" sugar levels for years. She nearly died twice (wrecked a car once) from low sugar, with a reading of 14! Jeez, I kinda chuckled, you and I are so much alike in some ways. "Sick"?, yeah just ignore that, "we're tough"! Yeah, buddy, I been there done that! Trouble is, we ARE tough hombres, but, OLDER! You just have to learn, like I am slowly still doing, we just ain't as tough as we USED TO BE! Ya gotta change with the times, buddy!

Get well Ian. It seems like many of us are at the point where it really pays to play self defense with our health, I’m just out of the hospital, too, and I know how that affects everything around you.

Get well soon. Man don't neglect your body you have to live in it
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
