I was sick in hospital...now home.
I was sick in hospital...now home.
Oh man. Yesterday I started running a high fever so I called my doctor, thinking she'd tell me to take Tylenol and call her in the morning, but she told me to get to the ER. We were expecting company, so we took a couple of hours to get to the ER. I waited for a couple of hours before they found me a bed (which happened to be right next to a woman with a serious flu). Anyway, they did tons of tests on me and it turns out I have a serious bladder and kidney infection (I had no symptoms other than the high fever, which is scary). So they admitted me and want to keep me for at least a few days. I feel miserable here. My mom came down to watch the baby and Dan stayed with me last night. He was supposed to go back to work today, but he will tomorrow. I am typing this from Dan's Blackberry-email-phone-browser device (neat gadget!). Every night they will give me antibiotics (that are safe for breast milk, which I pump) through my IV. I still have a high fever. Ugh.

Aw that stinks! I know you'd rather be playing with the baby than holed up in some stupid hospital bed.
I hope you feel better very soon!

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

No matter what the dr. give ya, a beer or two a night will take care of a kidney or bladder infection faster than anything. I don't know why, but it does. My GF used to have problems all the time and medicine was slow to work, if it did. I talked her into the beer cure. Two a night for two or three nights and its gone.
