Camote,


I stopped all pain pills and have been eating bland foods. So far so good. The back will just take more time.

Good morning Mike,

Of interest, my web host Dick Van Bree (you know from my Viva Baja parties) emailed me a reminder that Dr. Catalan was also the former mayor of Ensenada and I had met him at the Ensenada Apprecian Day event at the San Nicolas Hotel in 2002. Doug Means was there as well...
Dick is one of Fred Metcalf's moderators and saw your story posted on Fred's board.

So, your doctor is a very important Ensenada man in even more ways!

This whole story proves that most accidents happen very close to home, where your familiarity with your surroundings makes you less vigilant. Good to see you pulled through it, Mike. I can relate to the thirst thing -- my step-dad recently suffered a burst gallbladder that resulted in peritonitis, and he was intubated and deprived of fluids for several days as well. When I went to see him in the hospital in Santa Barbara, he said he was so thirsty he'd pay five hundred bucks for a root beer float!
