Tuesday 7/2/24

2:00p.m. I’m having one wild night. I was very very sick. I got very painful heartburn after supper. This went on for a couple of hours before I got some Mylanta. The Mylanta made things worse. I ended up puking my guts out. Nurse I had internal bleeding. There was blood in my stools and vomit. 

I consented to go to the hospital. I was taken to Weirton Medical Center. At the er they inserted an IV and gave me meds for my belly. I was there for three or four hours. Fortunately the bleeding stopped. I’m back in the nursing home. I never thought I’d be so glad to see this place.    

The whole experience that scared the shit out of me. I did not think I would make it. I told them I’m too young to die. I just turned 73. I really did thought I was a gonner. But fortunately I’m alive and kicking. I’m not ready to die just yet. I have too many books to read!    

Speaking of books Here is a list of books I bought on my birthday. 

1. The Making of the President 1972 by Theodore H White
2. No Ordinary Time by Doris Kearns Goodwin 
3. The Mission Song by John le Carre’ 
4. A Perfect Spy by John le Carre’ 
5. Battles and Leaders of the Civil War Vol 2
6. Battles and Leaders of the Civil War Vol 3

The person who sent me this generous gift wished to remain anonymous. I respect that I want to thank them fom the bottom my heart

I can’t go until I read at least a few of these books.

3:45p.m. I went to physical therapy this morning . Other than that I slept in my wheelchair almost all day. I still feel very weak and tired. The aides just put me in bed not too long ago. I’m afraid I’m not out of the woods yet. I must be sick because I couldn’t think of reading today.

6:32p.m. I didn’t eat supper. I didn’t eat much of  anything today. But I think I’m slowly recovering. The nurse checked my blood pressure. It was normal. She also gave me a pill for nausea. She said I just needed a lot of rest and that was what I did. I hope to read tonight.
