Saturday 30~~~~~We left Mesquite this morning heading for Vegas, I am still not feeling very good after my session with the chills last night after the Golf Long Drive we went to. All of a sudden I got so cold I was shaking so hard I couldn't stop. Kent bought me a Star Bucks latte and some fish and chips and took me home. By then I was really cold, he turned the furnace on 85 and plugged in a little heater beside my chair to blow on me. I put on my warm fuzzy robe and covered myself up with 2 blankets and still I shook. I gave up and went to bed under the down quilt plus a blanket and the furnace still running and fell asleep. I slept all night with all of that on me until 4:30 AM before the chills went away. I felt pretty good this morning after we stopped and ate a wonderful breakfast at the Casablanca Casino on the way out of town. We arrived in Vegas about 2 PM and I still feel good. We went out for Pizza this evening and the chills came back before we got home and it was the same thing all over again, only this time I immediately went to bed to get warm. If those chills come back again tonight, I am going to go to urgent care in the morning.
Sunday 31~~~~ Happy Halloween!!!! Lots of fun things to do at the casino where we are parked, but we won't be doing anything as I am not feeling very good again. The chills came back again last night. I stayed in bed most of the day. At 3:00 Kent said get dressed we are gong to urgent care. I was so nice and warm in my bed I didn't want to get up, but I did. We went to Urgent Care and they listed to our story and gave me a prescription of Antibiotics for my Bronchitis. We were home for one hour when the chills were back, Kent kept bringing me water and checking my temperature, within an hour my fever was 104.6. Kent rushed me to the hospital and when he told them how high my fever was they took me right in. They took my temp. and put the thing on my finger for my pulse and immediately ordered a CT scan as they were worried what might be going on with my heart. Next I went right to X-ray and to labs. They then started an IV (2 qt.) and hooked me up to a blood pressure machine where I stayed until midnight when they felt my fever was OK and my breathing was under control. They gave me prednisone and the misting nebulizer, that really helped my breathing. I will follow up with my Dr. at home next week. Kent was telling the Dr. about the things I was saying he couldn't understand and the Dr. said I was delirious with the fever so high, I remember some of it, and I think I was just plain crazy!!!! LOL I had on my long black and white polka dot night gown with my lavender lounging pants under it and my lavender top over the top of it. I think I looked like I was wearing my Halloween costume and had too many to drink. Monday Nov. 1~~~~ I feel a whole lot better this morning and DR. Kent is in charge of my pills and water intake. He was so good with all that went down all week. When he saw my fever so high in such a short time, he said it really scared him, but he is such a calm, collected, organized person, he drove me to the hospital , remember we are in Vegas and to find hospital is no easy chore. Organized Kent looked up the hospital when I first went to bed in case we needed it and he called the Dr. to see when and if we should go. When he took the last reading and saw how high it had spiked, he knew it was time and where to go. Kent is my Hero. Monday 1~~~~ I feel like a new person this morning and I will continue to get better with my prescriptions. I really felt like I was standing at St. Peter's gate last nite when I couldn't breathe and was so hot. I was never sick when I worked, I can see why so many old people work, it keeps them healthy. Maybe I need a job?
