Still here still ghosted

 I’ve left messages for my Dr with no reply.  Temp still all over the place but fever not as bad if I don’t fall asleep under the heating pad.   

Thanks to EH for carving out my front lawn and trimming.  

And thanks TK and PR for food and other support.  

I have no interest in food.  I was eating some broccoli cheese soup - forcing myself - and ended up with massive runs.  When you don’t eat many solids you don’t have to go often so it was a surprise.   I’m wondering if my gluten / milk allergy is returning.  

And on top of this I get to try and get my door fixed.  Gee thanks.  

Anyway not dead yet.  

Thirteen minutes

 Wednesday close to 11 Pm I got a call from another Dr in the practice. My blood work was off.  They would try to get me in on Thursday for a transfusion.  Thursday I got 4 spam calls in Spanish about my cars extended warranty.  I changed a spam setting. I then missed two calls from the infusion dept and returned the calls 13 minutes later.  The tech said no guarantees but if I could get type / cross match they might be able to get me in that day (Friday).  So huge thanks to PR for taking me and being the squeaky wheel to get an appointment that afternoon. 

Perfect storm. My phone works fine plugged in but dies without electric.  PR is unfortunately Android.   Couldn’t borrow a charger, doesn’t really matter as I sleep through IVs.  When the tech that called in the morning and couldn’t get me he called my emergency contact.  My brothers conferred and decided a wellness check was needed.  They had the sheriff break into my house.   THIRTEEN MINUTEs.  

I am pissed, I feel violated, I hope this is the end of it but I wonder.  

So the hope is that I will feel better starting tonight and it will last two weeks.   Fingers crossed.  

Go Away

 So I went on a 48 hour pelagic on the MV Fling June 1-3.  I love pelagics but neglected to see that all the cabins were lower deck.  I did something to my hip - reinjuring an old ache that’s been interfering with sleep and walking.  Having to do multiple steep stairways really made me sore   

I definitely caught something from the crowded conditions on the boat.  I made it home and went through a mild cold for a few days.  Then came the wild fluctuations in body temperature aches and shivers.   

There were phone calls that woke me up and phone calls that left me puking for half an hour after.  I have turned my phone off.  I’ve stopped work for now.

So now I still can’t feel my feet which sucks with balance.   I get overheated walking a short distance and puke.  

I talk a little and puke. So mostly my phone is off.
