McMurphy and Me

Caitlin has been fighting a "bug' for a week now. High fever, sleeping all day, aches pains, etc.

Last Monday's doctor visit, they sent her home saying it was a bladder infection ... here, take these antibiotics.

Last night her boyfriend called me saying she wasn't well at all and could I come over.

She was burning up and lethargic.

I took her to ER. Temp 103 degrees

Blood, pee, swabs, x-rays ... the usual routine.

Mono? Nope Bladder infection? Nope Chest congestion? Nope Strep? Nope

Doctor: "Let's put her on an IV drip bag and hydrate her and cool her system"

3:30 am Temp 100.9 All tests are negative.

So where is the infection that is causing the fever?

Doctor: "Follow up with your family doctor."

After waiting for them to discharge her, I dropped her off at her apartment, went home took a shower and came to work.

Haaa-haaaa-Ho-ho-ho-ho . hee-hee -heee ..weeeeeeeeeeee! Zippity-do-dah

LOCK ME UP

Lack of sleep and lack of insurance is making me flippin crazy!
