Time to lose the Pool.

It's been a week since I wrote on the blog.  Sorry about that for those of you looking for a more regular update.  I have been having fevers and Night sweats almost if not daily.  They started about a week after getting home from the hospital.  Last Friday night the fever peaked at 101 so the after hours doc sent me to the ER to further investigate any possible issues.  While there I had a chest x-ray, CT scan, blood culture, and of course a urine test.  Near 1 in the morning on Saturday I was told there was some small fluid collection in the area of surgery as well as some inflammation around the Sigmoid Colon ( area of my tumor).  They suggested due to the Lack of pain that I should go home and medicate the fever and call if they got higher.  Of course I was to follow up with my Liver surgeon this week.  After several nights of Severe night sweats continued I called to make my follow up with the Doc.  The Nurse at his office suggested me to medicate fevers around the clock and come in to see the Doc on Wednesday.  Yep today.

My appointment with the doctor and his staff involved more pushing and tugging on the incision site.  The doctor told me I likely have colon diverticulitis.  He prescribed 2 antibiotics and told me if the fevers and sweats aren't gone in 4 days or so I need to call him but He thinks this will solve the heat I have been feeling lately.

I really hope this takes care of the fevers as well.  I will be really disappointed and frustrated in 5 days if this doesn't work.  3 of us in our house want the old me back.  I'm not sure who wants me back worse.
