Girls night last night was so much fun. Too much food but never enough girl time. That night I started running a low fever again. About 99-100. I had been having pain again for several days anyw here from a 5-7.
We called our GI that night to be sure I didn't need to go in..He said as long as I wasn't showing any jaundice symptoms and fever stayed below 100 I could wait till morning when I would see Dr. H and we could check my labs. I took some extra pain meds that night and slept fine. PHEW! I DID NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO THE HOSPITAL!!!
Labs were all good, including my liver #s. WBC was high, but it has been since this started. She didn't hesitate to write a prescription for augmentin and also gave me a bag of IV antibiotics today. Our thoughts were that sometimes infections do not go away with one round of antibiotics so lets try round 2. Pain has subsided for now, Dr. S, the GI,thinks it could be my body rejecting the new stint, but he will talk with my surgeon about that and get back to us. The gallbladder still needs to come out, as of now the plan is to keep moving along and take care of both during my Whipple surgery.
A huge shout out to my chemo buddies today, Caroline, Pam,Paul and Stacy. I think you guys spent more time visiting and watching me nap. I was hoping for a card game or maybe a movie, but the eyelids were not having it. haha
Tomorrow my BFF, Janie, who I have known since the 4th grade, is driving in from Dallas to stay a couple days while Paul works and gets caught up. Dallas isn't far, but we don't see each other nearly enough.
