we had a friend who ended up in the hospital -they thought he had a stroke. He spent a week in the hospital in Bismarck and then got moved to Minn St Paul hospital. He didn't have a stroke they found out because he didn't come out of it. Instead he had an infection in his heart that led to an abcess in his brain. He has been in Minn for 56 days now. he is walking now with a cane and still uses a wheel chair at times. He might get to come home the end of the month. while he was there they removed 2 bad teeth he had in his mouth. they figure that is where the infection came from to start with. so bad teeth are nothing to fool around with.
