911

I don't much feel like explaining all that has happened in the last 24 hours, but it was frightening. To make a long story short, Ron over-exerted himself scrubbing down and power-spraying our mobile home today (or should I say yesterday, since it is past mid-night), and quickly, it seems, something came over him, and his heart went racing. He came in the house, poured cold water over his head, had me get him water to drink, tried sitting down, laying down, whatever he could, and didn't want me to leave him... felt his heart racing and his chest was tight. Anyway, an ambulance was called and when they checked his heart rate, I believe it was over 230, and they couldn't even get a blood pressure!!! Off they went to a hospital I didn't even know how to get to, but it was the closest. They had to give him some medicine to slow it down at the hospital and it worked the first time. I think it was around 215 at the hospital. They got it calmed down, but later took him to The James Cancer Hospital, where he is right now... room 361. They've done some testing, and I guess some enzyme is up a bit, and they are going to test his heart some more tomorrow... if nothing too serious shows up, he might get to go home tomorrow.
Get this, the ambulance or whatever it was that transported him from Dayton to Columbus hit a deer on the way there, then the battery died on the machines that were monitoring him, and they had to have another vehicle meet them with a new battery, then I think they got a little turned around by the hospital or something. Ron thought is was hilarious! He joked about them giving him the deer meat, and he would buy them a burger... ha! Obviously, they couldn't do that... but, at least he could have a sense of humor.
That is the new news here.
Pressing on...
