Bob hospitalized, and back home

 
Hi everybody, just a short update. On Monday night Bob experienced very severe chest pains. The pain was so severe he couldn't sit or lay down. He was taken by ambulance to Pocono Medical Center. Our friends Pat and Dave H. drove Linda to the hospital. Dave and Pat stayed with Linda till  our three sons showed  up.  What the pain turned out to be was a blood clot in his Lung. Boy o' boy these passed couple of months have made up for all the great health we enjoyed in the passed. Bob spent 2 nights and 3 days in the hospital.  We have all kind of meds for him and a doctor's appointment set up with our Primary Care Physician for Friday. A lot to be still worked out. We'll keep you posted.
     In the mean time Linda has had some additional testing done and has a ulcer in her esophagus cause by acid reflex. She is on medication for that and will need another test in about two months.
      We are not sure when we can start to head south for warner weather. One nice thing, the leaves are coming into their full color. We'll keep you posted
