A Bag of Rocks

It was December 26, 2021 when the family went out to dinner in Westlake Village California. Dukeys theory is that his sister Carole and him touched a bad salt shaker. They both got hammered with Covid two days later. Dukey limped home to Tehachapi and did his usual Covid test at the prison for the ministry, which came out positive. He sweat and slept for 34 hours getting up only once. His wife Pam, who Dukey believes saved his life in more ways than one, had him doing all the necessary fluids and supplements. It was a tough two weeks for the old man but things were going pretty well, and like a moron he decided to work out. Not a good idea. He passed out on his front porch at his ranch like a bag of rocks. Pam called an ambulance and was ready to start CPR, while their son Shane was on the phone when, The Idiot entered Rockville and passed out. Amazingly, and of course there are no coincidences in life, The Author of all things is in charge; the ambulance was right around the corner. For the first time in the Dukes life he got to have a tour of Tehachapi in an ambulance. As it turned out, it was the right thing to do; seeing as the emergency room was completely packed. After a beautiful day in emergency, sharing a room with someone seemingly at deaths doorway (click), Dukey had all his vitals checked, put on an IV, got scolded from the doctor for working out and was sent home that night with proper medications. The Dukes sister didn’t fare out so well. She was locked down in a hospital for over a month. The moral of the story, is don’t be a total idiot and work out when you are sick, and remember Deuteronomy 32:39 He wounds and He heals according to his will.
