EMERGENCY UPDATE! Why I Ended Up In The Hospital

hey welcome back i'm Dustin i'm Lesie and we're the Wayward Wags um you probably have seen the thumbnail and so let's just go ahead and talk about that i don't know what the thumbnail is so well I was I was hospitalized oh that okay that's the thumbnail okay you took the picture for the thumbnail i did oh that I didn't know that was going to be the thumbnail [Music] yeah so I was okay recently hospitalized for the first time in a very very long time the last I was trying to think about it i was as I was getting ready for this video and at the last time I was hospitalized I know exactly when it was was um in Iraq oh well technically yeah 2005 uh when I got hit by a suicide bomber mhm um I had to stay overnight in a hospital in Baghdad um before that the one you're thinking of was in 1999 yeah when I had some some testing done for headaches and stuff and they did a spinal tap and I have spinal headache kind of so I don't go to the hospital very often and I don't go to the hospital unless like a limb is hanging off or I think I'm going to die or I tell him I'm going to kill him if he doesn't come in this case I voluntarily went yes I was having some severe stomach issues um spent a couple hours in the bathroom I won't go into details cuz it's not fun details but anyway ended up with colitis which could have come from a bunch of different things um I umpire baseball so I I go around to a bunch of parks and I eat concession stands and I eat fast food and we do cornhole nights so we eat out and so it's just hard to tell even though we pinpoint it yeah even though we go to the same places places a lot we eat different things order the same things and or if someone different prepared our meal and didn't wash their hands properly whatever i mean that could have been one of the issues um it can be a bacterial thing that you can pick up I don't know anywhere I guess but yeah it was pretty bad mhm and so it was bad enough for me to go to the hospital um I was bleeding um and they were concerned about blood loss yeah uh they they thought they might have to transfer me to another hospital to get a blood transfusion if I was losing enough blood but luckily got the bleeding to stop i got discharged i'm good now yeah all better all better i have to have some additional testing in the future which I'm not excited about but I'm at the age anyway it's colonoscopy time so not only to test for this but it's just time yeah anyway so yeah not super excited about that nobody is but I'm okay thank you for all your concerns and thoughts and prayers i appreciate that because I know some of you are going to see this thumbnail and go "Oh my gosh." And then our Wag Wagville community knew they already knew we already talked to them about it and of course family and friends already knew everything that was going on and local friends and stuff but it was just uh Yeah it was a little scary for a little bit but and then the hospital food wasn't smelled good i It smelled good i walked in and I was like the crazy part too was it's the hospital that it's that I used to like be a big part of managing yes in the military and uh I now I know no one i walk in there they don't know me from Adam no you know if I would have walked in there seven years ago they'd have been like "All right let's get him up." They would have rolled out the red carpet i had a VIP room oh yeah I would have been upstairs in 10 minutes they would have been taking care of me you know the the chief of the department would have been I mean 5 hours in the ER absolutely not but now they don't know who who the hell I am so you're just for Sergeant W just just another dude you know but um No it was great they did they did took care took care of me very well yeah you know so great people it was good so let's get on to some good news okay the good news is if you've been following us on cornhole our cornhole adventures we've been doing a lot better really great we we shoot in the cornhole league every Tuesday night we just finished the winter league and in that winter league if you finish at least in the top three in the city then you get to go to the state tournament which we did yes we went to the state tournament for the very first time yep that's where like all the leagues across the state take their top three they all come to the state and you go there and you have this big huge tournament hundreds of people yeah lots and lots of teams and we finished fourth in the state of Georgia boom which was crazy so we're getting we're getting good way better than I thought that was intermediate level yes and because we finished so well in the intermediate level we are now moved up to advance to advance which is the highest you can go and we've we've shot one week so far and we won yes so we're on our way to hopefully make it to state in the competitive league i was so nervous i like I was telling the Brits uh what was it like a day or two before yeah you're about to puke yeah i was like I am like day one filming for YouTube nervous that's where I was at i was like stomach doing flips i was like "Oh my god I cannot go to the state and play in front of all these people." I was concerned because you know you play local tournaments you play your local league you know everybody you shoot against these people all the time so it's really you get pretty comfortable with that when you go to state it's just like lots of pressure it's a it's a big tournament so the pressure of it gets to you and sometimes it can throw you off your game but didn't they actually really shot really really good and I went in there going we're going to be out fairly quick so let's just get this over with and I guess having that mentality I didn't let nerves get to me too much yeah he's like "Yeah whatever happens whatever." Yeah and we played great we were the last of our our uh league our city to be out we're the last ones from Columbus Georgia still in the tournament yeah that was awesome you were the last female female in the tournament yeah so that was really cool yeah very good stuff i shot really well that day i was so proud yeah all right all right so we're kind of all over the place in this video because I know remember last time we had a video I told you that I would show you the laundry room oh okay so let me put up a picture this is a picture of what our laundry room used to look like mhm and then Leslie of course she's on Pinterest or whatever i don't know Better Homes and Gardens or whatever she gets on everything i'm on everything and she and she sees this picture and she shows it to me i'll put it up here and she goes "This is what I want my laundry room to look like." And I'm like "Okay how much is that going to cost us to pay someone to do?" Cuz I'm not doing it i said "Yes we are there's no possible way I could do this." And we could totally do this this is so easy two cabinets three shelves we can do that so that's the before and that's the concept picture so now we're going to go on a little field trip i see the And we're going to show you the the laundry room yeah or some people have seen the pictures on Facebook but yeah I am in love with it let's go look at it all right thank you to the sponsor of today's video Brooklyn Bedding we've had our mattress for over 3 years now we had it in the RV and now we have a Brooklyn bedding mattress in the new house and it's by far been the best night sleep we've ever had yeah and one of the good parts about it is it's factory direct pricing and so you have to worry about middlemen jacking up the price on you and I love that they give you 120 night sleep trial so if you don't like it you can send it back if you need a different firmness level they'll swap it out it's perfect also comes with a 10-year warranty so for any reason you have any issues with your mattress over the next 10 years which is insane you can send it back and it'll send you a new one and it's shipped for free direct from the factory in Arizona and the best part about it is we can save you 30% on your next purchase of a Brooklyn bedding mattress we'll leave a link in the description below all you have to do is use a promo code Wags when you check out all right we're in the studio now so we're headed out through the house i kind of miss uh doing this stuff the vlogging stuff the walking around and talking and stuff so let's go into here and show you what she looks like look at this wow i love it so now we have two cabinets so all the stuff is hidden it's not just up there hanging out and then you know of course Leslie had to get all her little knickknackies and little decorations and all that stuff come on like that is adorable a little dryer ball sheep freaking cute yeah and I mean when you have that wire wrap thing up there I don't care how organized you get it still looks messy it Yeah it just looks cluttered and looks messy and looks bad it just doesn't look warm inviting it's just See I guess because doing 20 years in the military it looks sterile to me like wire rack is just sterile environment it's It doesn't feel cozy at all yeah it really It took us a day to do this it didn't take long to do it uh it wasn't as hard as I thought the guy at Lowe's helped us with how to hang Godend to find him that night yeah how to hang these these cabinets cuz I had no idea i've never hung a cabinet a day in my life um he educated us in what a French cleat was yeah never heard of it cuz we're not handy people love it i'll go hang cabinets any day with French super easy oh my god that was super easy so now um man we love it yes i love coming in here i mean you love it more than I love it i mean I love laundry period it does not bother me i actually look forward to doing laundry on laundry days but now it's just it's like a fairy tale for me to not come in here and go can't reach that on the shelf got to get the step stool i just love things are hidden that I don't need to be seen every day yeah and it's all displayed what I do need when I come in here it's good i'm proud of us yes I am too we didn't argue no and this you can see this is a pretty confined space this is that was the biggest challenge yes this is the smallest laundry room we've ever had and that's counting military housing this is still the smallest laundry room we've ever had so it's only 6 ft wide mhm and I think it just for the size of space we have to work with this is the best case scenario you could do yeah it was it was just awkward it was confined space we didn't move these all the way out the washer and dryer we just kind of moved them out and worked behind it but they're a little cumbersome from time to time but we didn't get frustrated no even though we run into roadblocks a couple times but we were good worked out good it is beautiful and it added value to the home yeah this whole deal only cost like 600 bucks for the whole project yeah and that's with my knickknack yeah that's with everything we did good i did good all right let's go back to the studio all right okay so that's that yes um I told you we're all kind of all over the place because so much has happened since the last video um we did want to say you know that we're thinking about all the people that were hit by the big storm yes the recent storm uh the big storm went a whole across the whole country and actually my hometown of Popular Bluff Missouri took a direct hit yes from an F3 tornado uh I think one fatality in the town there over 500 homes injured though destroyed businesses destroyed lots of stuff you know bad going on there lots of rebuilding that's going to have to be done so we're praying for my hometown of Papa Bluff Missouri not just them but everybody who was impacted over 40 people were killed total as the storm came across and by the time it got to us it really it was kind of going up you know northeast and we caught we caught some of it heavy rain and wind which actually hit the night you got admitted to the hospital so I was here me and Scout by ourselves but we were ready i had his cage his kennel ready in case we had to be mobile i had the weather radio and flashlights and everything sitting out so that was that was bad um and then always in our videos we like talk about good news stories yes so the good news story we're talking about is the astronauts are back the astronauts are back on Earth man yeah they went on like a I felt like they were like um Gilligans Island of the space the space version of Gilligans Island they went on a three-hour tour turned in 10 months but yeah they're back it's really cool that they're back um I can't imagine like you know cuz if you're expecting to be up there that long that's one that's one thing yeah but if you're only expecting to be up there for a short period of time you've made future plans already like Yeah you didn't you didn't bring enough toothpaste well I mean just in general in life you made plans to go do certain things and be at certain events and you're like well not making that and actually I could see not to point this out but I I noticed it because it's something that you would have like really it would have really bothered you what the woman that was up there the longer she was up there the grayer and grayer she got oh my god yes no hair color up there oh my god i'd have been like I am not getting on camera at all or I'm wearing my helmet at all times and her hair was just like this the whole time so that was that was crazy cuz I have some brutal grays man that um back and and you just look 10 15 years older yeah so So glad they're back glad they're back safe i was kind of worried about that but um that's that's good news story the other great news story is that baseball's back baby oh god baseball is back great story cubs baseball here we go regular season we've been in spring break and that's great and I love it but you know you're ready for baseball baseball yeah and so baseball is back uh and we've already mentioned this before but we have now a local minor league team just moved to Columbus Georgia which is right across the river from us so we'll be able to go and watch some baseball games and hang out we love going to minor league baseball games we did it as we traveled in our RV we hit a ton of minor league baseball games i think we've seen almost every Cubs affiliate so far except for two there's there's the couple that we haven't seen and one of them plays against Columbus and they will be here in June so we'll get to go see them that'll be cool the uh uh I think the Chattanooga Smokies smokies the Smokeoky no it's Knoxville no is it Knoxville i think it's Knoxville knoxville smokies knoxville yeah oh Smoky Mountains they did it okay and then they got the little bear mascot for like Smoke the Bear I guess so every game that we go to we'll be rooting for the local team which is the Columbus Cling Stones they're a Braves affiliate but it's okay i'll root for them because they're the home team unless Knoxville comes to town I'll be rooting for Knoxville because they're a Cubs affiliate so you got it so and then we'll try to sit on the we'll try to sit on the on the home team dugout side unless Knoxville's in town then we'll sit on the on the Knoxville side but it it's been really cool seeing that stadium come up yes watching the progress of it built being built my big concern is it's right on the road it's right next to a major road that is terrible at rush hour and there's no net and they put up no netting to protect there's going to be some baseballs there's gonna be car wrecks it's gonna be and and unfortunately the stuff has to happen before they go "Oh okay we should have done that." And then they'll put something up all you do is put up one of those Top Golf Yeah nets around it because Yeah when there's going to be a game I'm not traveling that road well I mean the chances of you getting hit by a foul ball no our chances are very high i mean it's like probably less than getting struck by lightning still high for us chances of me getting hit by foul ball is really high i got hit by like two last week yeah like that like the being hospitalized was just an add-on i still got the bruised right there look at that yeah because you Well first you got hit in the face i got hit in the face this was a couple couple weeks before I got hospitalized yeah I got hit a ball to the face i was wearing my mask yeah but it shoves the mask into your face which did something to your sinuses the trauma of it sinus infection yeah so you were on antibiotics for 10 days and almost didn't get to sleep in the same room with you because it was hard for you to sleep it was and thank God the meds kicked in really quick yeah so then I took a fast ball here yeah and then and then I got hit in the arm a couple days ago but I'm good i'm fine everything's fine i I love it even though I I don't love getting hit I don't love getting hit by baseballs but I love you know I mean and you you think about it I go I'll go call like six seven or eight games i might be hit once you know if So statistically you don't get hit very often so it seems like almost daily for you though i I I do i feel like I get hit more than other umpires for some reason but I don't know what the deal is i don't know if it can happen it's going to happen to you it's the way our luck if there weren't bad luck we'd have no luck at all no we have we have great luck we have We have a great life we are doing awesome we have way better luck than a lot of people out there trust me yes oh and another new thing oh cool hit me oh yeah leslie's wearing glasses we have glasses again it's a good and bad thing i probably should be you probably will be here soon but you know we're just getting older man we both were in readers and constantly having to use them and freaking I got fed up with having them up and down up and down putting them on i didn't have them with me at the time get to a restaurant you're like I didn't bring my readers or the readers out on the car or whatever so I went and had an eye exam i had Lasix 20 years ago this month and 20 years is phenomenal results yeah to get out of your lasic my I was nearsided which was a distance problem and my distance now is just slightly different she was amazed on how great my lady sick held up but my distance was slightly off so we fixed that and they're not transitions they're called Eizen but when I look down it's readers for me i got you when I look straight it's my new slight distance prescription okay so I don't notice anything no they are transitions no they're not for shade oh well that I mean they're not progressives they're not progressives i meant Yeah but I do have the transition for So they're sunglasses too which is cool but they take a while to go back to clear which is a little weird cuz we're in Walmart and I'm like "Dude why you still got your sunglasses on?" She's like "I haven't changed yet haven't changed back to clear." I do like that but how do you feel like wearing glasses every day like you used to before i mean I'm not a fan of it i'm I'm more tolerant than I was as a as a a youth but thankfully like when I need to do something like when I went and washed the car cuz it was covered in bugs and pollen and I washed car having them off does not change my vision okay i still see perfectly fine all right they've helped vibrant yeah wise and for distance things are more in focus but that means nothing when I'm washing the car so when I go outside and I'm going to be sweaty Yeah i'm not going to wear them i'm going I'm just going to take them off i think it'd be tougher for me cuz I've never worn glasses on a regular basis so I got glasses when I was nine so for me to have to go from never wearing glasses to now wearing glasses every day i think it would be a more of a a transition for me it was more of a difficult time for me than because you've done it before i've done it before but like I said it's been forever since that because I got glasses at nine contacts at 15 and then I got LASIC at 28 and I got 20 years i've always had great vision my whole life so I have to worry about it but now it's kind of going downhill with age so we didn't mention grandbab's home oh yeah grandbab's home he's home out of the hospital he's good and he's healthy and he's eating yes and we've been able to see him a few times yes he's so He's so tiny i mean he's 6 weeks old and he's still under N lbs but yeah I'll put up our first selfie our first selfie together but he he got out of there way faster than they expected so that was good news thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers honestly appreciate it it's that's awesome i mean we were we were not expecting it to go nearly as well as it may no so see we had good luck blessed # blessed yes oh yeah oh yeah and I wanted to mention too we have um coming up real soon um we're going to do our next I got a next donation i got some I got some really cool ideas i I got an idea i got to run past Leslie this is news to me i had an idea i got to run past Leslie because I think it's going to be really cool opportunity for a veteran organization to donate to and um we will bring that to you soon we have enough money to do another one we just got to get it We just got to get it done get it filmed and and bring it to you yeah all right it feels like forever since we've done one it has been but you know since the channel has slowed down we came off the road we're not making nearly as much money as so it takes more time to build up enough to where we think it's a significant amount to make an impact so that's why it takes a little longer now than than it used to so anyway hey stick around for a few seconds we're going to honor a fallen hero if you want to get involved with helping us help veterans everything you need to know is right down in the description of the video we appreciate you watching we'll see you next time [Music] bye heat [Music]
