Well wishes, to all.
Am called the 'talker' and dislike being a newbee on any forum.
Yes, Have been known to use a hundred words, when perhaps only twenty five would suffice. Still drives my gal up
the wall with my 'on and on' ways of talking. This is a carry over from my days as Field Service Manager, where the
field techs needed to be solidly based in Electro/Mechanics during my show and do classes.

From my daughters captured notes

Last time to see any doctor (1971 – node removed under right arm.)
(
Recent symptoms and why the emergency room visit of Oct 29, 2011)
Symptoms being experienced: metallic taste, no ability to taste food, no appetite, body weakness, voice is weak,
very cold all the time, hearing completely gone, prostrate, urinary issues – not infected, irregular. Knees ache but
been over long time. Phlegm when sleeping/awake. Quit smoking a month ago. Vision is impaired. Stopped all
caffeine. Extreme vertigo at times. Kidney maybe or maniers disease??
Not hydrating regularly. Belching after drinking liquids or any food.
Daddy used herbs and home remedies however has not been using any, in the past several weeks. He’s stopped
puffing William Penn Braves cigars (after 20 years of puffing away) within past month. Some of his home remedy
routines have been:
Past six weeks: Tahitian Nono and Zija - one drop of oil of oregano sublingual over 1-2 days. Uses baking powder
under his arms in lieu of deodorant.
Six Plus Weeks Ago: Backed off of Opti 50 – Energy Greens, Super Foods, daily Zija – 5 day protocol of maple
syrup, baking soda slowly boiled and taken by teaspoon.
Way Back: Alternate lobelia, cayenne and red pepper
Berry Mo replaced Opti 50
Copper zinc/balance energy medicine
Zealite –chelating chemical/mineral
Clarify of intent – energy flows where you intend it to flow not the other way around.
Inability to cough mucus up from severe coughing. Usually coughs when immediately lies down. Coughs anywhere
from 10-15 minutes periods. Settles down and falls asleep with coughing ceasing. Has pain in knees. Both
arthritis. Daddy is usually very vibrant and alert but not now. Always known to give compliments or tell jokes but
not now. Has the gift of gab but that too is gone right now. Loves to give back rubs to anyone ready willing and
able but hasn't had the strength so something definitely wrong. Lost strength in the volume of his voice. Barely can
hear him now. Extremely cold and wearing layers of clothing to keep him warm. Experiencing difficulty with vision
and does have cataracts on both eyes. He's lost about 12 pounds in past 4-6 weeks.
He has always been active on his blogs for hours on end making several trips up and down the stairs to his get away
room in the lower level. It’s been over two weeks now since he has attended to any of these favorite pastimes.

Well, for 87 years of experiencing life in it's many shapes and forms, I've no real complaints, along with only a few
regrets. Yes, did avoid all doctors since 1971, and why I dislike doctors is yet another story and will spare you that
read.
Did have what I call my 1st serious 'off health' event 9/1/2011 (
Ha, should have payed attention)
Once my energies were mostly restored:

Well now , I'm still alive and quite mobile.
This was the start of a surprising journey, and actually was a two part trip.
One trip, being three days at home and the second go round, 17 days in the hospital, where I had nurses and
doctors stopping in just to 'see that special, unusual person' that had 'walked into the emergency room'.
They claim it is impossible to have walked in as I did!

(
My daughters notes showed)
After numerous hours of waiting Daddy is diagnosed with acute kidney failure.
Has high creatine level of 120 and should be low 20s.
-------------------------------------------------
Will fill in the rest of it as soon as I sort out some thoughts, and finish going over the detailed day to day notes the
family made.
were strange, those moments,
standing in the angel of deaths doorway,
all is fogginess gray, aware only of standing there,
neither forward step, nor step to retreat,
I'm stuck in this doorway,
why I question, cannot I enter, I am ready,
are you funning with this one!
why, I ask, the game, what lesson to learn,
no words, no thoughts, no visions,
aware only of still standing there,
feeling only nothingness,
were three days, two nights, just standing there,
then from far away, I hear words,
of these words, many repeats, the same, over and over,
I am healing, I am healing, I am healed,
and then, awareness of,
I've finally returned,
knowing well, we will meet yet, another day.
----------------------------------------------------------
Do believe though, that I blew my kidneys, with my pushing the limits with too many experimental protocols.
(this too is quite another story, on why I did experimental protocols, and will for now spare you the tedious read.)
Were it not for a grandson and family urging, would just as well preferred wrapping up this physical existence.
Well, after the emergency room was done doing their tests, was admitted in to the hospital.
Was in for 17 days. (daughter captured notes for me for all 17 days, bless her patience)
MRI's, cat scans, a thousand blood tests (OK I'm exaggerating a tad here) bland distasteful meals and so it went.
Was a few days before they finally decided that the emergency room stats really pointed to kidney failure.
------------------------------------------------------
So am doing three times a week / 4 hour sessions at a near location.
