Where's the smack'm across the face with the butt of a rifle emoji when you need it?
 
Well, sitting in the ER with my son, went for his fallow up with our family physician had a severe headache and vomited twice. They called an ambulance but my wife, working at the hospital downtown told them to cancel it , filled me in and I picked him up. I feel bad for him, he’s missable.
 
Does Katrina71 have a nickname?
Not that she ever revealed, she was very active here for about a year and then disappeared. I think it was something Tim said. She was the one that talked me into getting a tailspot blenny. She was on R2R for a long time and I think jumps in and out. Her birthday was last Sunday.

So sorry to hear this Kevin. My prayers are with you all. Be safe on your travels and keep us posted please
 
Probably only one podcast of cooking with Kev today. Angel hair pasta, olive oil, TONS of Paul’s garlic, garlic salt, parsley, sliced cherry tomatoes, Hungarian hot peppers, greens and smothered in Parmesan cheese.

wow kevin! i was just wondering how he was doing! im really sorry!! i hope they can figure out something for him soon!!!
Thanks, they took him right back and he is in a bed, blood work taken and iv in. I’m sitting with him, I’m praying that they don’t want to do another spinal tap.
 
Still waiting for a doctor, my daughter ( nurse practitioner) suggested a cerebral spinal fluid leak from the spinal tap. I looked up the symptoms and it matches exactly.

I don't understand? What exactly are they looking for? Good thing I googled it first because I thought you were referring to brain fluid because brain in spanish is cerebro

Cerebral spinal fluid is produced in the brain and surrounds it but also flows down the spinal cord to the low back.

How's your boy Kev? Have the doctors said anything?

Nothing yet, you know how ERs are. The gave him something for nausea that seems to have helped. He’s better if laying flat sitting or standing causes excruciating head pain and vomiting. I wish I had one or twelve of your cold green bottles!

You have our prayers, and we've all been thinking about your family all day. I do agree that a cold one would be more tangible support though! You guys just hold on tight until you're both on the other side of this mess Kevin. ❤️
