I just spoke with Theresa, she said Jig and her went to lunch today and he collapsed.  She called 911 and the EMTs took him to the hospital, which sent him to another hospital.  They have done a lot of tests, but so far nothing stands out other than his blood pressure was very low.  He will have a stress test tomorrow.

If you'd like to give him a call 734-246-6000 room 302 bed 2.

I called but he couldnt hear me

Hope for the best for him, Theresa and their family

Geeze, they can't catch a break.  :-\

Collapsing isn't a good sign but I hope it turns out to be something easily taken care of and simple to manage.

Hate to hear this.... Hoping for a quick and full recovery. No fun hanging out in a hospital!

Oh, man! Just now seeing this. Thanks for the good thoughts  :smitten:
At home, diagnosed: dehydration/Low Potassium/Low Blood Pressure  :  :o
Got to eat more bananas and reduce HBP meds  :D
OSS, hospital phone was pathetic, couldn't hear, didn't know it was you.
Glad to be home where Theresa's working on raising BP  :roll:

Glad to hear you're home and you know what's going on.

Take good care of yourself and hope things go well as you adjust.

So glad to hear it GIG!  BP is nothing to play around with.  Mine is high every now and then, but I take daily meds to keep it under wraps.

Glad your home and getting better. Listen to Dr.s orders (especially Theresa's!)

I'm glad to hear you're getting mostly back to normal.  It was scary to hear of your collapse.  Dehydration is bad enough but adding blood pressure (low) is especially concerning.

Keep getting better.  Adjustments to the meds that keep us going is a good thing.

Hi, Jimmy, Jersey, Carl, & Henry! Great to hear from you guys, very encouraging  :angel:
Glad to be home & adjusting. Got to take a couple rides in ambulances and doctors
Ordered every test possible (EEG, EKG, Cat Scans, blood... more),
They pronounced me "Normal" ( I was sure to get in writing to keep in my wallet!)  :2funny:

Miss you all, would like to be in Slade now, but not to be...

Thanks for brightening my day! You guys are the best  :cooldude:
I'm doing better, feeling ok but did have a bit of an incident last night.
Fell and Theresa rushed in to scrape me up.
Didn't pass out, but something weird is happening. Adjustments to meds & such...
