MR RAGS’ HEARSTOPPING ADVENTURE continued.

Sighted on the way to Mammoth Hospital.




And make what you will of this.... yesterday there were two teen Christians, to-day a busload...




At the hospital Mr Rags is put on oxygen.... gave him a real headspin...




Then came the blood tests...



Then down to pathology...



Spent all day at hospital and with one more lot of results which would take an hour or so to come in, we were sent home to pack and get to a lower altitude.

This has scared Mr Rags so he said lets cut holiday short and get home. I suggested what about a few days in San Francisco as it is sea level, but he just wants to come home.

We arrived back at the hotel about 6:30 and just finished rearranging flights (at an extra cost of $280... they love to squeeze every dollar from you) when Mr Rags' mobile rang.

The last test showed +ve for embolism. Get back to the hospital NOW.

So, we get the hotel courtesy car (after signing a waiver) to emergency and Mr Rags is put in a brand new emergency rom. (The hospital is only 16 bed, but tres moderne.)
More needles to prepare for iodine based contrast medium...



While he is getting a CT scan, I go and get a pizza, forgetting serving sizes I order a large as haven't eaten since brekky. Give staff in emergency most of the pizza for which I get lots of thankyous.

Results show lungs clear. More questions etc etc and conclusion is he had a clot move from leg to lung, which his body then started to break up (hence the drama and convulsion this morning and difficulty breathing), and the D test showing positive.
So advice was to take asprin, cut out the metformin for 48 hours and get to lower altiude. Dr suggested we go stay at a place called Bishop whichis a lot lower down and the capitol for the area (where I could've done some shopping...).
This has really scared Mr Rags, so we fly home tomorow, and he has said he will stop smoking but needs my positive support. I added another dimensionand suggested he start to lose weight with me. He didn't put up a fight.

So Undies, I'l be off air from tomorrow (Sat my time) till we get home on Monday arvo (Undie time).

Thankyou all for your kind thoughts and prayers and for Nurse Jones' very practical help. (Thanks Bridge)

You know ... with Raggsy's skills as a photo-journalist, I'm sure glad Mr. Rags wasn't admitted with a severe case of haemorroids.

And well done, Techie, for a spot on diagnosis.
