Monday I woke up and I felt better. Sucked on my nebs again and we decided to go to breakfast and Walmart to get a movie. We figured Tuesday we could go to Hollywood Studios for one more day of Disney fun. I was really lethargic but my fever was gone. I had stopped the prednisone on Saturday night so it made sense I was going through some withdrawl. They didn't taper me down.
I hung on the sofa the rest of the day while P did things around the hotel. I was worried I hadn't been pooping right so I dumped some Miralax in Gatorade and drank it all night. My fever started to come back later in the day and I took some Motrin. It wasn't helping and it eventually spiked at 102.2. I was a bit nervous so I emailed my doctor. It was late though so I knew I wouldn't hear back from her yet. P went and got me some Tylenol and within 20 minutes my fever was down. However, I started to get this pain in my abdomen. It felt like gas pains so I popped a few gas-X and went to bed. By 5am I was awake with horrible pain. The gas-X wasn't working and my back was hurting now too. I assumed from laying around all day. It was like an inner tube around my center.
My fever was gone and I felt totally normal, besides the pain. The Miralax hadn't worked either so I was starting to worry I might have a blockage. So we decided to hit the ER again. Luckily there was no wait at noon on a Tuesday. I got right in and they gave me some Dilaudid for the pain. I had a CT scan done again and blood work. The doctor came pack with a double kidney infection. Not just one kidney, but BOTH. The prednisone most likely weakened my immune system and help lead to this.
So now I am inpatient at Dr P. Phillips Hospital in Orlando getting IV fluids and IV antibiotics. P is at the hotel and might go to Disney today so we don't waste all the tickets.
Me? I just wanna go home. I am so over all this. Its been hell. I can't stop crying now. I was good until last night. Then its been waterworks central. I just wanna go home. I don't want to be in some foreign hospital with people I don't know while my husband is in our hotel room spending a night alone. I want to spend our last night of the honeymoon together.
I want to scream. At least the view is nice right? :(
Oh man:-( You guys must be so miserable apart. Hope you get well soon.
ReplyDeleteOh Amy, I'm so sorry. That just sounds like such a shitty situation. I hope your back in your own home, sleeping in your own bed with your husband by your side soon. Hang in there lady :)
ReplyDeleteLuckily I convinced them to let me go! So I got one more IV antibiotic dose and was discharged with orals. We get to spend our last night on the honeymoon together <3
ReplyDeleteIt sucks worse than anything when the mind wants/needs to go, go, go, but the body gets all needy on its own and doesn't cooperate. Glad you got out there, though. It might be bad to have this all happen and not be able to travel at all.
