We're now back from our trip to Las Vegas to celebrate Karen's birthday. Ross's sister Lee accompanied us. Overall it was a good trip except I (Ross) got sick. Really sick. I'm not sure if it was food poisoning or flu. At one point I tried going out with Karen and Lee but got real lightheaded when I got down to the casino. I had to sit down at a slot machine but that didn't help. Next thing I knew I was on the floor with a bunch of very worried people standing over me. A woman, who turned out to be a doctor attending a medical convention, checked my pulse and asked some questions. Then the paramedics showed up. They put me on oxygen (which didn't do anything that I could detect), hooked me up to their portable EKG/monitor and ran the tests. Both the chief paramedic (who looked an awful lot like Tom Arnold) and the doctor gave the "OK" sign when they saw the EKG strip. After checking me out while sitting and then standing they had me sign a release and left. I made it back to the room OK and slept the rest of the afternoon. I was feeling much better by evening and am now about 95% recovered. All in all I can't really recommend that particular activity while visiting Vegas.
Oh, by the way, we stayed at the Monte Carlo.
OK, I'll have to go out of character and be good and tell you I'm glad you're OK!
