My 2 weeks in the joint were up, and I thought I felt good enough to go home.. So I checked out on Wed afternoon.. Chad came and picked me up. We went home and enjoyed the outside life.. It was a rainy day so we just stayed in and watched movies.. I felt really tired that evening so I took a nap.. Well I woke up not feeling to good, I just thought it was cause I was so relaxed from being home.. As the night went on I just couldn't get comfy. Just a restless night overall.. Not to mention a long night too, cause I could not fall asleep..
Daylight finally came and I just felt like crap.. I was coughing a ton of junk up, my lungs just felt like sand paper.. I knew something was not right.. It seemed to be getting worse as the day went on.. I called clinic and they said to come up immediately.. So put my bags back in the car and Chad drove me up..
We came directly to my room.. When I got here my heart rate was 165 and I had a fever.. One minute I was freezing the next I was hot and all wet from sweating so much.. They Drew a blood gas as soon as I got here to check my carbon dioxide level.. The guy that drew it I almost had to punch.. I have never had a blood gas draw hurt like that.. I think he was trying to show off for his little tag along that was with him.. In fact I had to drop the F bomb a few times.. He was just a joke..
After we got my IV accessed i fell asleep for a few hours.. My heart calmed down and my fever went away.. They were drawing blood cultures till 2 in the morning.. However I don't remember those late draws cause I was so tired I blocked them right out..
No word yet on the cultures.. Come on get them done already I want to know what was going on.. I am already feeling better so hopefully we can kick whatever I got right out of my system.
It's now my second night back and things are starting to fall back into routine.. So I shall get to sleep and I hope everyone has a great weekend..
