[AT] Off Topic Ed needs Some Devine Intervention.

[Allen V. Pruehs]

Ed if you are not any better this morning, try and call the help line for 
the hospital describe and what is going on, especial;y the infected looking 
drainage and appearance of the wound. Do not mention talking with the 
doctor or seeing him on Friday unless asked. If they do tell them you are 
feeling much worse. More than likely they will tell you to come in to 
protect themselves. This should satify the insurance company.

Another idea may be to cut back on the pain medication which from your 
other email is moderating the fever some what. Maybe cut it down by one 
tablet and let your temperature hit the magic 102 degree point that seems 
to be a magic pass into the ER.

You are in our prayers,
Allen & Ree Pruehs
