Joe Paterno Hospitalized for Dehydration

I freaked out just like you did when I read the headline , but apparently it's not too serious.

Joe Paterno was taken by ambulance to Mount Nittany Medical Center this morning where he is being treated for dehydration, said Guido D'Elia, spokesman for Penn State Football

D'Elia said he was taken to the hospital after complaining of nausea, weakness and fatigue. Tests are being performed to rule out heart and other problems, and so far the tests have come back negative, D'Elia said.

"They're just treating him for dehydration," D'Elia said.

Paterno is scheduled to travel Austin, Texas tomorrow, and D'Elia said at 2 p.m. that he still expects to make the trip.

If he has the stomach bug thing I've been fighting for the past five days I know exactly how he feels. I was layed out in bed all day yesterday, and it was not fun. Let's hope he's feeling better soon.

yeah dude

i pooed a hammer when I heard it, but if he’s still planning on going to Texas he’s fine. If he’s been flying the dehydration may have stemmed from that.

Don't Worry

I almost kicked the bucket too when I found out we landed Eric Shrive. Alls it takes is a nice dump and things will be back to normal.
