So it's been a tad bit hectic. I spiked a fever of 103 on Monday-Tuesday, and had my primary care appointment Wed which I already had scheduled months ago. I explained what happened, he said to keep me posted and gave me a LabCorp scrip for CBC, CMP, urinalysis, and blood culture as a just in case. That weekend I went to see my aunt since she was home from the hospital.

She's still confused and ornery as hell with medical things (nurse visitations, medications she has to take, etc) and complains ad nauseam that this wasn't an immediate fix to revert her to 20 years ago. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, but whatever, at least she's trying somewhat, and I'm glad I got to see her in person.

As for me, I got a lot done Sunday and Monday, then by Tuesday afternoon I was freezing cold and it was 81 in the apartment according to the thermostat. Uh oh. Sure enough, my fever swung between 102-104.8, which I even started getting nervous about, so Thursday morning I went to get the labs done. Downside? I literally only got the last bit of results today since I guess it takes a week through LabCorp. I made a special request to share even preliminary results, and suffered through the rest of the week with severe UTI symptoms. 

Saturday morning I get a call from the covering doctor that my blood culture came back positive which means it's ER time. Off to Jersey Shore Medical again, knowing they'll admit me for sepsis and IV antibiotics and sure enough, that's how it went. I was in the hospital Sat-Tues afternoon, so worked from the hospital only one day, which was good. Of course my body's still freaking out but I'm just on oral antibiotics now and god I hope it clears everything. I've spent way too much time in the hospital for someone my age. I suppose I'll find out if this is the end of my terrible, horrible, no good year *fingers crossed*.
