POWIP Piece of Work In Progress – Former Abode of Dan Collins

19Feb/1094

Prayers for Dan

Dan was admitted to the Emergency Room this morning.

If you'll recall, some months back he was admitted for feeling dizzy, then faint, then became disoriented, and finally unresponsive.

It was thought at the time he had mistakenly taken someone else's meds.

But I am told this is not at all likely this time around.

So, please say some prayers.

Thx
Enoch

Update - 10:15DANTIME (EST) - Blood Pressure Up to normal levels.
Update - 10:22DANTIME (EST) - Blood Pressure Up but not to normal - still low. Sleeping. Can't stay awake. Running EKG
Update - 11:30DANTIME (EST) - Blood Pressure tanked again. Can't stay awake. Being Admitted.
Update - 1:40DANTIME (EST) - Blood Pressure still low. 3rd Unit of Liquids. Still can't stay awake. Doctors are doctoring.
Update - 4:18DANTIME (EST) - Blood Pressure still low. 4th Unit of Liquids. Still extremely sleepy. But is oriented when roused. Still speaking like a moderate drunk. Doctors are still doctoring, as far as we know.
Update - 8:00AMDANTIME (EST) - No new news, save for lots of tests this morning. Doctors are befuddled, but indicate "it" is presenting most like an environmental reaction (ie. Meds, Wrong Meds, Doubling up on Meds, Taking Someone Else's Meds by accident, etc). Let's hope. Hormonal tests this morning as well. More updates as I get them. Thanking all well-wishers.

As an aside: that someone (one person) would have the Audacity to post something shitty in these comments is so very sad. As you know, since the inception of this Blog, Dan has been adamant about NOT banning anyone - no matter how obnoxious and base their comments - a month or so ago, after some particularly NOT "okay" comments (and accusations of raaaaaacism) Dan mentioned maybe it was time to change this policy. That is, he considered maybe allowing all comments and commenters may have been a mistake. I am now tending to agree with him. Here is why: this is Dan's place. And Dan always provides the benefit of the doubt. But Dan's tolerance of the intolerant has run out. So, it seems we need to find a replacement troll - we have heard all it offers (nothing) and Dan and the rest of us guests at POWIP are more interested in reading the mostly thoughtful comments of each-another. With that, a hearty "pound sand" is offered from the depths of my heart to the sorry sap of a soul "who shall here forward be without name." May God bless you and keep you... but far away from here.

  6. Dan – What’s this speaking like a moderate drunk crap? Where’s your self respect? If you’re gonna do something do it right. Only pussies get moderately drunk!

    I dunno if I would be content with that answer. Where is Dr. House when you need him?

  22. Glad they are looking at hormonal issues as that seems a likely culprit. Continued worry and love sent his way.

  23. Enoch, are they testing cortisol this am?
    Sheesh.
    Dan would laugh at me and the interrogatory I have prepared in my mind for his docs.

    Prayers from my whole family – hope the situation is diagnosed and fixed soon.

    • :) No problem – he would appreciate the concern. Our pop has been doing the same thing. They should check this, that, and the other. Retired Pathologist… old habits, etc.

  24. A difficult diagnosis will sharpen a physicians’s zeal to get to the bottom what’s happening; now, you’ve questioned their knowledge and you have their attention. That you are confuzzling them, Dan, is so typical!

    Hang in there, my friend.
