I heard from her daughter April (Thanks April!!) that thegrammalady was hospitalized. Luckily she gave me the number to call her room directly so we had a good conversation. She was with the family at the County Fair and it looked like it was a good time to pass out, poor gal! She's hoping it was just the heat or dehydration and she can come home soon!

made it home today! dehydration may be what sent me to the hospital but the fact that when i stand up or move around my blood pressure drops is what kept me there.  they still don't know why, but it isn't in my head or a problem with my heart. april says it's just that i'm only mostly normal.  thanks for all the good wishes, i appreciate them.  the best news is i get to drink more.

You scared us!  Thanks April, for letting us know.   The heat and humidity has been so bad everywhere, everyone needs to be so careful.  Did you at least get a fried twinkie at the fair?    Take care, rest and I hope you are feeling better soon. (especially the blood pressure)
