Posted by Just Another Old Geezer on January 19, 2016 at 08:28:24 from (66.222.96.78):

After reading all of the posts and all of my interactions with hospital staff I have come to the conclusion that I am either; A. extremely lucky, B. extremely Blessed, or C. a generous combination of A and B. Over Christmas I was down with a bad cold that just hung on. I stayed home and wad in bed by 9pm new years eve. New years day I had a bit of a balance issue and a little double vision. it was worse on Saturday, so , thinking I had a inner ear infection from the cold, I went to urgent care. They sent me to emergency. Emergency did a CAT scan and drew a LOT of Blood samples. They concluded inner ear infection and sent me home with antibiotics and instructions to see the eye doctors if the vision did not clear up in a week. Sunday I was worse, but the sore throat had the popping in the ear had cleared up. Monday I was reeling around like a drunken Creation and unable to function with both eyes open. 3 hours in emergency and they concluded Guillian Barre Syndrome. I was sent to a room and given I.V. treatment. I was told it would get worse before it got better (it didn't). They took it very seriously, checking my lung function every 4 hours. I had 3 doctors listed in my board and my nurse set up her nurses station on a desk outside of my room. 4 days of treatment where I was unable to hold down food. Thursday I was transferred to the rehab unit. The receiving nurse said that I Was the first one of these patients that she had ever had still walking when I came in. 1 week of rehab for balance and I was released to Family where there would be someone around 24/7. I am home on my own now, still can't drive because of the double vision, but doing well. They say 2 to 4 weeks for the double vision to go away.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
