Bacterial. I’m negative for all the relevant viruses. I’m on broad spectrum IV antibiotics which are helping. I’ll probably be here for a couple of days.

Woke up a little after midnight with a fever of 102.5, using a thermometer on which my normal reading is 97.3.

Shit.

Any idea how long you'll be there?

Probably several days

[xenon]

Damn, sorry to hear that. Hoping for a quick recovery, Jon.

[George K]

Fuckety fuck.

Hopefully it’s a very antibiotic sensitive organism.

Thanks for letting us know, and please keep us posted.

[Klaus]

Uh, that doesn't sound good. How are you feeling, apart from the fever?

[89th]

Ugh, feel better soon man.

[bachophile]

Oh boy keep them lungs clear.

[LuFins Dad]

Blech… Plans to fill the time?

[Larry]

That's rough, Jon. I hate hearing this. Take care of yourself.

[kluurs]

Shit!! Beat the crap out of those bugs. Thanks for letting us know.

[Copper]

Now that you have a little spare time, maybe you could check tncr for errors.

[Jolly]

I know you feel like crap, but some good IV antibiotics can get this turned around. Just gotta take care of yourself.

Rest...

I recommend counting ad hominem attacks in lieu of sheep.

I assume you've had at least a couple of courses of antibiotics by now. How are you feeling?

Other than fever, any other sx?

SpO2 is OK, I assume?

Yeah. 96+. I’m feeling lethargic and the chest is a bit tight but my heart rate is stabilizing (it was 121 last night) and BP is back to normal (it was 96/58).

Heart rate is, of course, high. But, could be due to any number of reasons other than underlying disease. #1 on my list would be anxiety about what the FUCK is going on.

The BP is on the low-ish side - but that could be related to the elevated heart rate.

The important number is the SpO2. If you're not on supplemental oxygen, that's a very, very, good thing.

[Doctor Phibes]

Shit, sorry to hear this Jon.

I hope you recover quickly.

[George K]

Oh, another thing.

Be grateful that it's late May, early June, rather than a month from now.

Because July and teaching hospitals.

[jon-nyc]

Yes. I learned that the hard way when a fetus at Duke removed my right heart cath sheath and gave me a pseudo aneurysm in July of 2015

My transplant was July 2016 but I lived to tell the tale.
