It's 2;30 pm and no I am not just waking up. I am, oh yes, without sleep and back in the ED with the fuzzy one. He has extreme vertigo, some swelling of extremities, fluid retention, brain fog, tenderness of left Abdominal side etc, etc. Immediate Care sent us here.

okay, with those other numbers that you mentioned in his blood work before have they checked him for a pulmonary embolism?

at this point they just need to pop him in and do a damn CT scan.

Will talk to them when they show up. Right now he is being given IV meds for dehydration but they can't give him anything for the nausea because it has a red tint to it and red dye 40 puts him into anaphylaxis. unknown if the red is red 40 so no nausea meds for him just to be safe.

ultrasound of bladder shows some fluid but within decent parameters, in spite of tenderness on that side.

hands and feet swelling is often circulatory. bad blood flow.

yes over exerted quickly. slept last night - several hours, still exhausted

his BP being good is good. sometimes dizziness with movement indicates your BP is dropping. because of bad blood flow + exertion.

not like me, who thought a waking 02 level of 82-83 was a solid B, and not bad (thinking test results were like school test results)

I saw Bear's updates. Make sure he keeps track of whether he's peeing regularly and if he's got any swelling anywhere. Hands, feet, whatever. I don't like they sent him home saying it's dehydration when he's been back and forth to the ER with issues several times. :-(

This is a lot. I am sorry that you guys are going through this and even more so that there seems to be no easy diagnosis
