Even though I am back to reasonably stable I still dunno what caused

This round of "emergencies" began with a bladder infection which shut
down my kidneys ... that's scary - cuz when your kidneys die so does 
the rest of you.

They fixed that with a massive dose of antibiotics. Which also woke
the kidneyd. but led to the second trip to the ER.

The antibiotic used caused a bout of "antibiotic diarrhoea" which in 
its turn caused an anal bleed and I very nearly bled out. I was told 
that after the 8th bag of blood was put into the filler tube.

Then came a bout with pneumonia which, thankfully, was not CoVid.

Followed on by a collapsed lung. Then this latest trip to the ER. Much
to the chagrin of my remaining enemies I'm still here. No plans to check 
out any time soon.  Bv)=
