admitted to the hospital

OK, here's what I was *going* to post:

I wish I could give more details, but every time I talk about it (even with my doctor) I get nauseous from anxiety. The basics are that I went to the Clinic's emergency room last night because I had a fever (which was increasing throughout the day). We got there around 11:30, got home around 4 a.m. Obviously didn't go to work today.

So hopefully I can give more details later. Other than feeling hot and/or cold at times, I pretty much feel fine, but the anxiety is getting to me because it's hard to think about anything else.


And now, the update:

My fever went up to 103.7, my doc called back, and now they're admitting me to the Clinic's hospital for a few nights. They want to make sure it's not "bleomycin toxicity", which can sometimes have an effect on the lungs (bleo is one of the chemo drugs I get; if it turns out to be toxicity, I won't be able to take it anymore).

I'm packing some stuff at the moment (some Dilbert books, some The Onion books), and just wanted to finish up my post here so people would know what's going on. I don't know what room I'll be in yet, but it's Building H of the Cleveland Clinic.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

p.s. my most recent temperature was 101.7
