Hot Blooded, Check It And See....

....I've got a fever of a 103.... point 8, to be exact...

thanks to all those that have been checking up on me and asking me if I was going to update my blab soon.

I have been sick for almost a week now. I started having a low-grade fever this past Saturday to the high dangerous fever of 103.8 by Sunday to now I am still running a fever of around 99.7.

Thanks to da wonderful wife who's sedulous in getting my butt to the doctors, I got some anti-biotics but still have inconclusive results. This is after consulting with our family doctor and my surgeon(s). Nobody is really sure of what is going on.

For one thing, we have determined that I can't fly (I don't have swine flu, aka R2D2 inflatuenpizza, or is it called C3PO confusedenczar) which sucks because I was looking forward to making someone's impossible dream or nightmare coming true and I painted myself pink, just like a hog and bought some hot wings...

on the other hand, the mysterious origin of this fever that can't seem to go away is making me weak to my core. And it's been affecting my newly fresh just out of the oven surgery site.

Because there are no drainage issues (except with my nose) with my surge site, they have ruled out infection.

Da wife and I finally came up with our own conclusion and I think we're going to be right. Da wife thinks that because my airway is still quite swollen and obstruct and that I have been aspirating( having a lot of problems swallowing food). She has boldly stated that I might have "aspirating pneumonia". This is after she'd listen to my vital signs and tapped on my various back mussels and clams.

I am with her....

I started anti-biotic on Monday and since I've been on it, my swelling has gone down but my coughs have been going up with production of that nasty little bugger: La Mucosa De Very Sticky

it's those many bouts of heavy coughs that is enough to knock a man out, and I've been knocked out right to my knees which would buckle whenever I'd get into one those coughing fits. I haven't been eating nor sleeping the past few days and can barely sit at the table like a man.

I am finally feeling well enough to give this update and saying a sincere thanks and I plan on updating both sites within the next few days. And I just checked my temperature, 99.4. So hey, it's at least below a 100. I am such an underachiever. LOL

tomorrow, chest X-ray and blood work to find out the cause....then, "Al Be Baack"

(don't worry, blabber mouth lives on...LOL)
