Just having one is good enough for me

Believe me, I am not hung up on having a birthday and spending the day feeling awful, getting blood and IV antibiotics. Anytime I get to have a birthday, it is a good one.....just some are a bit more fun than others. They did not admit me so I got to go home late yesterday.
My temp is up and down today --as high as 104.1 and as low as 99.7. Last time I took it it was 103.2 and I left thr Doc a message. HAve not heard back. I just drank some water to I will check it again in a few minutes. This time I am hopeful if I can stay out of the hospital tonight I think I may be home free. Bob and I both have been pretty paranoid so anytime one of us wakes up in the night I take my temperature. At 4am when it was 104.1 there was no way I was going anywhere or calling anybody. At 730 it had come down in the 102 or so which is more reasonable. Just checked it again and now it 102.5 so hopefully the way it is moving around that will be enough to keep me home tonight and out of Crawford Long.


Each day will get better from here. I see the Doc on Wednesday, and assuming all goes well (no reason why it shouldn't based on history) I should get my PICC like out! Nurse Kathy says we will have to see how much drainage I am producing to see what to do about the wound vac. I am Vac-less again this weekend. She thinks I could need it again for a week but that may be it. I am going to quit trying to second guess and negotiate around this. It just does no good and is waste of time. If Bob reads this he will never believe it. Negotiation just does not work (well) in medicine -- no sales involved--so I need to learn, "It is what it is". We'll see if I can do it!

No weekend plans of course. Bob plays tennis Sat morning for a couple hours.
AL vs FSU comes on sometime and I want to rent a movie -- which I never do. Georgia Rule if we can get it. And that is about it. New temp 101.9 and I am sweating now especially my little bald head. That is good. Maybe fever is breaking. Doc has still not called back so maybe he is fine with the numbers.
