Slowly on the mend.
I'm slowly starting to feel a bit better, slowly starting to get some strength back, and slowly starting to feel sort of myself again.
I've been down sick for the last few weeks with gastroenteritis, aka, the stomach flu, and a UTI, and another infection which hasn't been named/found yet.They just know that I have something else because my white cells are wicked high again.
I'm now on my second antibiotic because the Cipro was making me feel even worse.
They gave me Zofran to stop the nausea and vomiting, but the Cipro was making me puke anyway.
It was just far too strong for me, within 20 minutes of taking it, I would be barfing my guts out, and after not being able to eat anything at all for days on end, it was mostly stomach bile or the dry heaves, which in my opinion, is even worse than throwing up acidic bile.
Gastroenteritis is by far the absolute best appetite suppression that there ever was.
I still don't have any appetite and I've been on antibiotics and the other meds since last Monday the 8th.
So now I'm taking the Zofran, Zantac 150mg twice per day, and now for an antibiotic, Bactrim.
The Bactrim will hopefully, according to my doc, do a couple of things.
First, it will clear up the UTI, and second, it might cause a decrease in white blood cells, which is a good thing.
My white cells are sky high again, and the docs frantically try to figure out why, and there's been talk a few times now about doing another Indium Scan.
I HATE that test, really hate that test, so I am hoping that when I go in tomorrow they have some sort of idea why my white cells are so high, what the infection is and where it is, or that the Bactrim has cleared it up, or decreased my white cell count so they stop all the talk about doing that test again.
My appointment is at 9:30am, and then I'm going to have to run to the pharmacy and get my scripts filled, and then I should be back home sometime around noon, or at least I hope, that is if all goes well and there's no problems or bad news.
Keep your fingers crossed for me that everything goes well and that I don't have to have that test again.
