the Weekend

Wednesday 02 July 2008 I spiked a fever of 99.9 I told Diane the research nurse when she called the next day and I was told that when it reached the "magic number of 100.3 that I was to go to the ER. So I've been taking it several times a day.
On Thursday 03 July 2008 my Temp only got to 99.7
Friday 04 July 2008 my temp got up to 99.8 it has been returning to near normal between spikes.

Saturday 05 July 2008 I just got back from spending three hours in the ER. I spiked a temp. the magic number I was told was 100.3 I woke up from a nap and it was 100.5. After gallons of blood, a UA a EKG and a Chest X-ray it was decided that I had bronchitis maybe??? Oh yeah it was 100.8 in the ER the last time they took it. My WBC has IMPROVED since Wed when it was taken last. they put me on Moxifloxacin HCL 400 mg tabs.

My Temp spiked to 101.5 after I got home-----then I finally vomited about 500 cc of clear liquid now I feel better----wrung thru the wringer but better.

Sunday 06 July 2008 I have a nasty red raw rash on my arm from the tape they used when they put the IV in. Its been the only stuff I've been able to use with no problems till now. I'm not sure what they are going to do now.

Sorry to read you're having problems with the tape they use. I'm allergic to most of them as well. I assume you've tried the cloth tape. What about silk tape? I tolerate that very well.

Glad to read they've got the fever issue under control. Bronchitis isn't something to mess around with in the best of conditions.
