Hospitalized with pneumonia

@jon-nyc said in Hospitalized with pneumonia:
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?

Fuckety fuck.
Hopefully it’s a very antibiotic sensitive organism.
Thanks for letting us know, and please keep us posted.

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

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

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.

Oh, another thing.
Be grateful that it's late May, early June, rather than a month from now.
Because July and teaching hospitals.

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.
