Rollercoaster rides for the summer!

APB APB!

I went into the hospital last night and 3 hours later I came out. This is excellent because I didn't have to stay however, it doesn't explain my 102.5 fever. I am watching myself very closely at home in comfort with my family and friends. A much better place to be. My neutrophils (white blood cells) were 2.8 - that's good and healthy. No infections could be detected so once again I have thrown a wrench into the unknown. I feel okay. I am really spaced out because of the pain pills I am on and the thrush is back AND IT IS REALLY GROSS. It's a yeast infection (no - this isn't the kind of infection that causes a fever) starts with your tongue looking like a cotton ball and it continues down your throat, giving you a very full, heartburn like feeling. Fun - NOT.

I feel strong and if anyone is concerned about visiting don't be - I can't go out and about that much (only on a need basis) but that doesn't mean people can't come to visit. Now Grant has a bit different attitude, he is concerned that bad meany germs will invade and that could be true. I have all the fun antibacterial gels, masks, gloves.......for anyone who wishes to indulge and is concerned about visiting.

So back to the title - it looks like I might be in and out of the hospital due to the fever thing so don't worry I am only on a rollercoaster ride - up and down with my fever. And you should know that having a fever in my condition is a really great sign of health. Unhealthy people can't produce a fever when needed to fight infections or bugs - so with my fever capability I AM IRON WOMAN.
