Sick Again - Round 6 ...

Thursday, I started having the same symptoms again after only a week of recovery after the hospital. From then until Sunday evening, I kept getting worse and worse. My temperature rose from 99.4 to 100.7.

Saturday night was the worst ever - but I always say that... I again passed out on the john, but luckily, there are rugs and hanging bathrobes that made it a 'soft' spot and there was no damage.

By mid-day Sunday, I was really contemplating going back into the hospital because I just couldn't take another night like I just had. Pam called and the same crazy doctor was on call at the hospital. Anyway, I started doubling up on my pain meds and the symptoms started to go away and I actually had a reasonable nights sleep.

I am very glad that I didn't go back into the hospital now, but thought last night was going to be worse than Saturday night.

Pam fixed a wonderful Easter dinner with Ham, Scalloped potatoes, Asparagus, deviled eggs and her great homemade dinner rolls. I was only able to eat a couple of little mini-sandwiches of rolls and ham, but now that I again seem to be feeling better, I am sure we will have it again.

My main concern now is that since its not a bacteria and these symptoms will not go away until the blood thinning meds break down the clot in the artery that feeds a part of my colon, how do we deal with them. I cannot continue to keep going through these horrible events much longer...

We have got to find some way to at least fight these symptoms I am having so they don't get so bad. Maybe the doctor visit this morning will help resolve that - I sure hope so.

I have not eaten anything except for the two little 'sandwiches' for three days. I was gaining back the 25 lbs of weight I lost in the hospital two weeks ago and now its gone again.

All else is going well. Pam's new dog is very cute and the cats are starting to get use to him. He is so small that I think they view him as some sort of weird toy or something. Well, I must go so I can get to the Doctors...
