This is not how I planned to spend the day, but considering how crappy the weather is, why not. Right now I have a view looking southwest from the 7th floor at LHSC. I got here last night with a temp of 38.3C and they didn't seem to impressed when they got my blood work back. While I was "admitted" at about 7:30pm I didn't get transferred until this morning at 9:30am. Laying on a gurny in emergency is not the most fun way to spend an evening. Adding in the chills from the fever made it all that much more fun. Between alarms going off and pages for various "codes" there was little point in even trying to sleep. Added to that was the pain in my arm from some student botching my IV not once but twice and we had all the makings of the night from Hell!!!
Unsure what was going on and with my neutrophils at 0.6 they started some IV antibiotics which will continue till at least midnight tonight. The plan is to get out of here by tomorrow sometime but plans don't always translate into reality. At least the fever is gone but I am still "essentially" under quarantine till they determine I don't have The Plague!!!
8pm April 5th - still in hospital, again something I hadn't been planning but at least they "may" let me out tomorrow instead of keeping me till Friday as originally planned.
Even though all tests and cultures came back negative they still insisted on switching me to oral Amoxi-Clav. And GP's get most of the blame for overusing antibiotics!!!
Thank God my kids have been bringing in small quantities of real food now and again, Eating this crap since Monday ( or rather staring at it and thinking WTF!)
Saturday.
It has been just over 2 days since I escaped the confines of LHSC and my body is still trying to recover. I seem to be averaging about 4 naps a day as I struggle to get back to some semblance of normal after my 3 day "incarceration"
With eye surgery scheduled for Monday I am concerned that my little setback will result in the surgery being postponed- hopefully not.
