Message 623292 - Posted: 20 Aug 2007, 14:22:19 UTC - in response to Message 623289.  


Just spoke with Dennis' Nurse (Tracy) she'll be goin' off her shift in 1/2 hr

> it's 7:15 AM Pacific (@ present) and the Nurse said that Dennis is STABLE - and that the time for anybody to call - is @ 8 - 10 AM -

Breakfast will be served and the Number to Sunrise is 702 . 731 . 8000 (Main Number)

ask for option # 2 (Emergency) Nursing Station - and IF Dennis is awake - the Nurse tending will transfer the call to Dennis . . .

again - he's STABLE - so things are a little brighter eh . . .


Respectfully

richard



Get well Dennis....

All my best wishes from Chile,
Tiare.-

11:25 AM Eastern - My Time in NC

UPDATE Rearding Dennis - Spoke to him @ the Hospital and He says Hello and Thanks to Everybody for their Words . . . He hasn't seen a Doctor Yesterday or Today - THOUGH - earlier - his Nurse said "Dennis is Stable" . . .

Dennis just woke up a few minutes ago and he's a little bit groggy - ya might say - from Nitro and Pain Medicines etc . . . he's 'seemingly Ok' from mi talk - but he's awaiting blood and other analysis to answer the Question regarding 'what is wrong (or was?) . . . so - Good News All (as much as that is when one is laid up in Hospital . . .)

Agian - he's Appreciative of Everybody's Condolences etc . . .


Respectfully,

richard

It's good that you guys are calling him, Keith! Thanks for the update.

It's good for the doctors and nurses to know that people care about him. It means he'll get better treatment. ;)

I've just come off the phone with the old codger. :o)

As Richard's said..he's a little tired and groggy..but the wicked humour is still there we had a good laugh about one or two things.

He sends his thanks to all for their concerns.

Thanks for the update Keith...needless to say me and Hev are really worried about him. :(

Any chance we could get a first name so I can submit it to my church's prayer list? Please PM me if he doesn't want it public

The first name is mentioned in the first post of this thread:

Dennis (Dogbytes) has been admitted to hospital for a suspected heart attack.

A heart attack is not something I would wish on anyone.

I only know him from his humourous asides in Ye Olde Pie Shoppe, but I wish him well.

He is in my thoughts.

I wish to thank each and every one of you for your wishes and kind concern. I'm back home now and on my own medication and a bit doped up. Tomorrow I shall be seeing my own physician as soon as possible tomorrow morning (who was never called by the hospital). My heart condition was a result of a bout of extreme hyperstension. When the paramedics arrived my bp was 240/140 and my pain level of 8 on the 10 scale. Too make a very long story short I left the hospital after 30 hours against medical advice because in all that time I never once saw a physican except for two minutes when I first arrived, and knowing that I was diabetic, they never once even gave me any medication for that condition, which I need daily. The hospital I was sent to was one of the Humana group hospitals, profit before care...there was only one nurse in my ER wing and they were extremely short staffed everywhere. There was also something wrong when I had to keep swatting at a fly when they served me my first meal which was not diabetic. But not being seen or examined let alone not being informed, or having any communication by any physican was not what anyone could call medicine. I had a friend and his wife pick me up and I have another friend staying over to keep an eye on me until I can see my own doctor and get this resolved. Any bill from Sunrise Hospital is going to be forwarded to my attorney.

On a positive note... the fire department paramedics and ambulance crew were of the highest calibre, and I am very grateful to them for their professionalism.

Once again to you all...thank you.

Dennis

Great to hear (see) your voice!!! Welcome back, but I hope you didn't leave too soon. It does sound like BS that you didn't get your regular meds.

If your doctor says you should go back. Do that..... Now that he is apprised, he will take all the right steps the hospital should have in the first place.

Take care DB.... I want to meet you later on! You set a scare in us all.
