I haven't posted since I announced being rescheduled for the trial; I went into another cycle of more severe pain, more oxycodone and not eating well (pain and drugs do that), and of course, got weaker. So weak that even typing became an ordeal.
I arrived at the hospital at 7:00 AM Thursday, and they were really great. I can't even sit long in a wheelchair so they planned to take me to a room, get me into bed and do the admissions paparwork there. We stopped at a scale (doc insisted on finding how much I weigh), and I couldn't stand on it without support. They were debating whether to take me to one that could weigh me sitting down when someone stuck a thermometer in my ear.
It beeped, the nurse said "He has a fever", and ten minutes later I was on my way home with instructions to monitor my temp and call when it returned to normal.
I would have posted this Thursday, but I've complained before about how painful the 300 mile round-trip drive is, was still feverish, extremely weak, and depressed over another setback.
The added pain has diminished, the fever gone and I'm eating more, so I'll be ready to try it again as soon as they can schedule another trial. Life, I guess, goes on...Vic
