We have been in this lull for many days were almost every day is like the day before. Watching TV, sleeping, taking pills, sleeping. But today I had more excitement to fill my day.
I woke up with a 101 fever, we had just got that coming down and I took some drugs then proceeded to throw up (flagil is bad going down the first time it is worse when it comes back up). I felt better afterwards for a bit, and I went back to sleep.
When lunch came I had an appetite but before I could finish it xray was calling for me to get a chest x-ray. I asked for 10 minutes to finish lunch first and they agreed that that was do-able. Shortly after I left for x-ray the doctor came by and ordered an ultrasound tap to check for infection, and a CT scan. So without any warning I was off to another test. When I got to ultrasound they said they were going to poke my belly to check for infection. But less then 2 hours after my belly was upset and throwing up. I didn’t think that was something I was ready to do. They also wanted me to drink 1000mL of Rasberry Crystal-light contrast for CT. I wanted to go back to my room and bed instead of doing this in ultrasound. They said it is my right to refuse any test or procedure. So after a bit of waiting I was taken back to my room where I was able to enjoy drinking the contrast. :-(
2 1/2 hours later after drinking the contrast we were on our way back to CT for another scan and then off to ultrasound for a tap. I didn’t have as much fluid in my belly this time so they only got 3.6 liters out of me. I guess the lasix are working.
The results of the test came back all clean, no new infections. Which is a good thing. The bad thing is that I have been having a bunch of fevers and throwing up and they don’t know exactly why. My stomach doesn’t feel so good and seems to always be churning :-(
So once again I continue to wait and see what brings into my life next.
