David’s In The Hospital

ByEdward Pizzarello

For those of you that know me personally, you know David has been my best friend for my entire adult life, dating back to our days together at Osborn school in the 3rd grade.

Well, David returned from a business trip on Thursday and proceeded to come down with a bad cold. The cold developed into pneumonia, which landed him in the ER. Don’t worry, we haven’t gotten to the scary part yet.

The admitting doctor picked up on something during David’s exam and ordered additional tests. The short end to the long story is that David has a pulmonary embolism, or, more commonly, a blood clot in/headed toward his lungs. They’re treating him now, and he is not in any obvious pain, but it’s a pretty scary situation.

Those that know me well won’t accuse me of being religious. But it really does seem like an appropriate time to ask for a couple of prayers….

My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury. I also enjoy taking us on the occasional detour to explore the inner workings of the travel industry.
