Good Morning! Reporting back to life, after a total system failure on May 1st. My BP and heart rate went from the roof down into the basement and vice versa, finally resulting in an accumulation of fluids in my lung and my legs, both of which sent me to the floor and Petra flying to the telephone to call our 911. Minutes later the paramedics showed up and while they somehow got me off cloud 7 back to earth, the helicopter landed in the meadow behind our house - the place where we watch the deer play. The paramedics could not get me down the narrow and winding staircase on a stretcher, so the fire fighters came and moved me through the kitchen window and into the heli. The flight was a short one, so within 20 minutes, counting from Petra calling 911, I was in the ICU, all wired up, intubated and flooded with oxygen. Both BP and heart rate are fine now, nearly all of the fluids have left the body, but I am still feeble and traumatized. From what I was told it must have been a nearly fatal allergic reaction caused by the new medication. Lesson learned - never change a medication at the beginning of a weekend! At least I provided some unexpected entertainment to my not so beloved neighbors. I will walk in the slow lane for the next couple of weeks, but try to figure out, how we can change our way of life (basically it is only the question of where) to give the rest of my days a touch more quality. Changing the subject - I see we have a new face! A big and hearty [#welcome] to you, Yannis! Good to have another European joining in! Let´s settle down at the bar, which we call the Rivet Counter or, in short, RC, in this place, for some small talk, some καφέ&sigmaf; and ούζο! στην υγειά μα&sigmaf;!
