Hi folks....this won't be for long. I can only stay up for about 10 min, then my body tells me to go back to bed. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. 102.6 temperature, can't eat, supposed to take these gigantic horse pills but can't have them on an empty stomach. Tried that this morning and lost it. So if I can't keep anything down how am I supposed to take this antibiotics? Oh yes, and did I mention these pills are $7 each????

Richard, I thought about you all day yesterday as I was stuck in the ER from 2:30 to midnight. After the 7pm change of shift, there was only 1 doctor and 5 nurses to handle 15 treatment rooms. I do so admire all of them. They have to put up with a load of SH** and I kept wondering how they could practice so much patience. The good thing about our health care system, is that all the treatment I got yesterday didn't cost me a thing. The down side, is that our blessed government puts health care workers behind everyone else.

Anyway they pumped me with two bags of IV fluids and 1 bag of antibiotics.
Long story short, if I still can't keep anything down tomorrow, I'm heading back to the ER (this time to a major hospital only 5 min. from home) I may have to be admitted until I can eat.

So, I'll just grab a glass of ice water and head back to bed. Cheers everyone.
