Actually walked out on the hospital in Tulsa.
Went Monday because got real dizzy and started projectile vomiting while taking brother Bob to lunch. Panera Bread.
Went to Tulsa hospital. They took blood, did a chest x-ray, cat scan of my head, then left me in the waiting room for 8 hours. We got in the Cayenne and my bro drove me home. Couldn't tell us when a doc could see us, so didn't tell them we left.
Figured it wasn't too bad or they would not have left me so long.
Got up next morning (Tues) and called 911 with the same symptoms.
They didn't do all those expensive tests, just took blood and vitals.
Gave me a bunch of nausea drugs and told me to go see my regular doc, no indicators that it was life threatening.
Can't get in to doc until Monday.
Can't move much or I get dizzy and empty my stomach.
Next door neighbors came over and offered to go get me something to eat, if I could eat.
Just drinking sips of water and saltine crackers.

Found yer problem!
Glen, we have soft water and it sure helps keep everything from the water heater to shower heads from getting gummed up with calcium and lime. Plus the dishwasher and clothes washer don't have to use as much soap. The cold water to the kitchen does not go through the softener though so that is straight well water with all the flavor of the minerals in it. The soap you think you aren't getting off isn't soap. Soap comes of much better with soft water and that slick feeling is the lack of soap scum left on your body. Unless of course you used a lot of soap, then it can be an issue since is dissolves and lathers up much better with soft water.
Jim, I figure if I start practicing now then I can be as good as you and Jeff when I retire.
