So today is the day I posted my blog on Facebook, what I had thus far. Ironically enough I ended up in the hospital the same day, so all the messages from people supporting me could not have come at a better time. So the entire weekend I felt hot, then cold and so so tired. I was taking 3 hour naps and still felt so tired. Well everyone knows that doctors are the worst patients, this is for several reason, but generally we are super bad and doctoring ourselves. It should have occurred to me that I was sick and having chills, but it didn't until I started to tell Matt my symptoms out loud on a sunday evening while he was putting our baby to bed and then it dawned on me...duh! So I took my temperature and sure enough I had a temp of 100.9. Off to the hospital we had to go, but we had to find someone to watch baby Finn, I wasn't going to take a 4 month old to the ER with me when it was his bedtime. So we made what felt like a thousand calls. No one was home, or they were unavailable. Luckily we have one family member in Gig Harbor and they were available, thank goodness!
I ended up having cellulitis of my left breast, so if you are counting, this is the second time my left boob has tried to kill me. I met sepsis criteria so of course I was admitted and had to stay in the hospital for 2 days...torture! I felt like they were trying to kill me, on purpose! I exaggerate but it was not the best experience. Now I am on IV antibiotics for the time being and will likely be on antibiotics for quite a while because underneath my left boob skin infection is a foreign body, the tissue expander! There were talks about having to take it out if the infection didn't get better with antibiotics, but hopefully that doesn't have to happen. I already had to postpone chemo for one week, if I have to have surgery, then we would have to postpone it further and that is not good. I want to get these chemo cycles over with! To be continued I guess...
