It started with an infected tooth. Made the appt with the dentist, but it was 2 weeks away. In the interim. I ran a fever, got dehydrated. I couldn't get enough fluid in me to rehydrate. The fever was sweating it out as fast as I could take in water. So, I went to the local hospital here in Podunk.

I asked for an IV. explained what was going on.
While I was waiting, and the minutes grew into hours. The dehydration & fever cooked me into tachycardia. A lost consciousness in the waiting room. By the time somebody noticed I was doing the 210 bpm "gonna stroke out" any moment thing.
At least this time I was unconscious when the did the low Jules, medium and then maximum with the defibrulator.

And, if you know blood chemistry. Taking a cbc in that moment is pointless. But that's what they did. Starting treating me for kidney failure.

Dr's are such morons. After 2 days in ICU, they finally had me rehydrated and all the many acute symptoms went away... I'm sure I have a nice bill coming my way. It could have all been avoided with an IV laced with antibiotics.

And once I got that. I was back in form.
And promptly called my dentist, told him what happened & begged he squeeze me in and yank that dam tooth. He did so last Thursday. It all began last Saturday night/ sun morning. Wasn't feeling good & went to bed about 6pm. Awoke around 11, shhets soaked, dizzy. Raging fever. Drove to the er and the fun began.

My sons are now calling me Lazarus. Ha!

My only issue now, my back hurts from the max amps jumping back flash. My lips are blistered from the severe dehydration. Boy was that a pleasure from the dentists chair.😬

Let it be known and don't forget. It is very dangerous for an old person to become dehydrated.
It's a known medical danger. I don't understand why dr's, nurses, paramedics don't understand this.

But, in the end. I'm back in the saddle again.
For the life if me. I don't understand why I keep living through, now my 3rd extreme tachycardia event, without having a stroke or heart attack.

Vegan emphasis diet?
Maybe its just, the devil don't want me & god don't believe im ready yet.
