… See, my bladder was not draining fully and that was backing up into my left kidney. Eventually that would cause that kidney to fail and me going into full renal failure. Yet, as a side show, or other narrative accompanying this health story, was another more dramatic tale of me being ejected from a house in Charlotte.

Sideshows aside from all that matters, my health, my heart was being stressed by my kidney issue and a slight cardiac episode was happening. Honestly, I thank my former housemate for doing as he did and causing a scene in the street as he did. That got the attention of a real estate broker as she left the office, and she gave me a ride when prompted by a former housemate.

Without her helping and trying to get me to the hotel, I would’ve never made it to the emergency room, ER, that night. Well, I sat until the next morning and was eventually admitted to the Piedmont Henry Hospital in Stockbridge, GA. Only in hindsight do I see my expulsion as a good thing that happened when it did.

I could’ve had a serious heart attack and be in total renal failure without that fight and my eviction from Charlotte on the day it happened …
