Sunday Night Update

Well, many of you, my loyal friends and family, have been asking about my health lately...and many have already heard of my first health emergency since coming to Michigan. It seems odd that I keep count, but it actually has become somewhat commonplace for me to go to the ER.

I went to the ER Thursday night with acute chest pain. We called an ambulance here at the dorm and they took me over to the University Hospital--one of the best in the country--and we did all the usual tests that one does for my symptoms. Everything checked out, and after staying overnight for observation they discharged me the following morning. Actually, afternoon, because that's how long it takes to do paperwork there, evidently. We will be transferring all of my care to the University Hospital here though...it's too much of a risk to use the current arrangement with my doctors back home. They have excellent specialists here and I will be in good hands.

And if you're my cardiologist and you're reading this, I'll be calling you this week to discuss this. :-)

So, I am fine. I need to take it easy; I spent the weekend resting. We'll take care of everything else as it comes, I guess. Thank you for your well-wishes and prayers. Goodnight, and good luck.
