Dear friends,

I am writing to inform you of the scary experience I had this last week.

Last Sunday we went out for breakfast. Came back everything was fine. Then about 1:30 PM Cynthia had terrible cramps and went to the rest room. What followed was a very scary experience. She called me for help said she felt like she was passing out. I called 911. They took her to the hospital when admitted, her blood pressure was 64 !!!
After 3 days in intensive care unit The diagnosis was an extreme case Ischemic Colitis. The doctors do not know what causes it.


Cynthia was released from the hospital after a week. She is on a restricted diet for 2 weeks. She must be very careful to guard against any further infection. She still has a lot of discomfort and is extremely weak.
I am just glad she is home.
Rod

Thank you all for your thoughts - - NO that is the scary part of it. The doctors do not know what causes it. Just know it is vary rare and happens.

Am sure Cynthia has had enough of the "medicos" to last her a long time.

May she have a speedy but thorough recovery.

Cheers! Ray & Penny
