Stovall,

The only unnerving thing is that they still don’t know the origin of this. :dizzy:

Good evening,

My fever finally broke about 1:30am this morning, and has not returned. I should be released on Tuesday after an echocardiogram tomorrow to make sure my heart is okay. :encouragement:

Well, thank The Great Spirit that your fever finally broke. What did the Mayo say, if anything? Are the still doing the lymph nodes biopsy?

The Registered Nurse contacted the Mayo this morning, no word yet. As far as a biopsy, now that the fever is under control, that looks like a no.
 
Hi Rami,
Just found this post. I hope your road to full recovery is short and without any detours.

Regards,

........I am glad to hear that for once you failed! Just make sure you don't drink any corona beer when you get home. BTW: make sure to call the Mayo yourself and make sure that those doctors were notified. Some people just call and say "he is here...."

Fibber,

Now that I am home, I am calling today. I appreciate all of your concerns and well-wishes. I am glad I went right to the hospital, because apparently it was a pretty serious infection my body was fighting off.

Once I got home yesterday evening, I went to bed early. It was so nice...no beeps, boops, sweeps, creeps, needles, pills, vital checks, student nurses and residents, or other patients.

But my arms are still sore from all the pricks. :biggrin-new:
 
Ummmmmmmmm.........

.........you are talking about the needle hit spots in that last sentence, right? :biggrin-new:
 
Glad that you are in upright position again,get some real good rest, but not to long, we need you badly.

Best wishes for your health.

Killer Svend :encouragement:

Hey guys,

I'm afraid the news isn't all good. My left leg developed a pretty massive edema from not being in compression for five days (they took the cast off at the hospital in the ED to look for evidence of a clot) in my foot, calf, and thigh. My measurements prior to this incident were about 27cm around the ankle and 39-40cm at the apex of my calf, near the knee. Today, the upper measurement was 51cm. So there's a ton of fluid buildup.

I am keeping my legs elevated, and hope it comes out through the wounds, or via my urine. I go back on Friday to have the compression wrap changed.

I also called the Mayo Clinic directly and spoke with the nurse who works with Dr. Bjarnason, the Doc himself may call later today. Tomorrow, I am going back to the hospital to send the discharge summary and the records from the CT scan and the ultrasound to the Mayo so they can get their brains together. I also have my doctors at the wound care center working on it as well.
