Friday, May 16, 2008
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. —Penn State football coach Joe Paterno spent several hours at a hospital being treated for dehydration before returning home late Thursday. The 81-year-old coach had been working at home late in the morning when he began feeling nauseated and was taken by ambulance to Mount Nittany Medical Center, team spokesman Guido D'Elia said. Paterno had tests at the hospital but was not admitted. Paterno was released and back home Thursday evening, and doctors determined he suffered from dehydration, team officials said. The Hall of Fame coach was still expected to travel to Austin, Texas, today, where he was scheduled to speak at a dinner honoring Longhorns coach Mack Brown. |
