Feb 18

Late Saturday night I was all set to go home in the morning but I got fever, chills and nightsweats. My joints and my teeth and gums were hurting and I had a lot of trouble sleeping. I had to have blood cultures taken from my arm and my catheter, a urine sample, and a chest x-ray. The doctor that saw me this morning said that it would probably be Tuesday when I can go home now. He gave me antibiotics and will continue them every 8 hours until I go home. Today I haven't felt well, I've had headaches, my body hurts and my teeth and gums are hurting again. // I didn't have any recurrence of the chills, nightsweats or fever tonight so I hope it's over for this time. Maybe I can go home tomorrow.
