Sick Recovery
Wanted to let you guys know that I am recovering albeit more slowly than I would like at the moment. I was taken to the hospital late Saturday evening as I got increasingly worse and was not able to maintain any foods or liquids since Tuesday night. My bp was 88/48 at the time the ambulance arrived with a temp of 100.1. I was given several IV bags while at the hospital, which helped stabilize my bp some, but it seemed my bp was very dependent on the continual IV fluid. They were finally able to lower my temp from 100.5. The doctor released me unsure if I had pancreatitis or not, but felt that it may be more due to a viral form of gastroenteritis. It was concluded, however, that I did not have meningitis (which is good..I don't want to go through a lumbar puncture again). I am still on the weaker side and still trying to beat the dehydration...it's a funny site watching me trying to walk five feet without falling right now. But I am hanging in there...hopefully it won't be too much longer.
