So this past two weeks I have been severely sick. Never thought in the world I would be this sick.. for a week I had and a half I had high grade fever around a 104.3 to 103.5 at the worse and 99.9 at the lowest.. now the low grade one doesn't sound that bad... but my base line body temp is 97.6 a degree or so lower then the average persons temp. Any ways that was just the start of it I had blinding headaches as well as a Urinary tract infection that I was told wasn't really that bad and was giving antibiotics and was told I should feel better in a day or so if I followed what the bottle said to do and rested. Was also told to get blood work done.. I wasn't able to get it done the day I saw the doctor because the blood work lab was closed by the time I got done so I went home and rested like I was told. The next day I was in loads of pain, my back near where my kidney was it felt like I was being stabbed, I was also running a fever of 101.8 at the time. Called the doctor and they told me to go to the er. They did a ct scan and blood work. Everything but blood work came back alright they said my liver enzymes where slightly high and my white blood count wasn't as high as they thought it would be for having such a high fever. So I went home again and rested but went and got the other blood work done the next day. I had a slight fever again that day as well as my color being off a bit. That blood work down only 24 hours after being in the er. Well the next day I was starting to feel better was finally eating and keeping stuff down and my fever hadn't gone over 99.9 in 24 hours so I was thinking of going back to work.. well just as I was about to get ready for work my doctor called me and asked me if I was still having pain, a fever and sick to my stomach. Which I was but I thought it was manageable at the time being... well my doctor told me I had to go to the er right then because my liver enzymes was sky high. They pulled more blood work reread the ct scan have me stranger antibiotics. This time the white blood count was really high and the liver enzymes where still sky high. They admitted me to the hospital on the 23th and I was in there till after noon on the 26th.. had an MRI, and a ERCP. They had to stop the ERCP for two reasons. One, the way the common bile duct was turned they couldn't see if there was any problem. Two, my O2 stats dropped really low that they didn't feel it was safe to keep going. I have had an ERCP down once before before having my gallbladder out and it wasn't bad... This time however I woke up with a tube down my nose and on air and I remember calling out for help because the tube was bothering me. Well after fully coming around and out of the sedative they had me stay a bit loner in the hospital. To see if I can eat without getting sick as well as handle the pain with out any pain meds. Before they sent me home they checked my liver enzymes and they where normal finally. So they put me on a low fat diet which they said should keep me from getting sick like this again. Which they believe in the end I had some sort of back up be it a stone or sludge in the common bile duct that seems to of cleared it self up over the past two weeks.

I can't tell you how scary this past two weeks was.. I was truly scared at moments and wasn't sure I wanted to see or hear what the doctors wanted to tell me.. I was thinking the worse... that my liver was failing or something went wrong with my gallbladder being removed and its just taken this long to come around. I didn't have any visitors out side of my dad the day I went for ERCP because they called him and my mother to ask what to do about the test when my O2 stats dropped. My cell phone died the First night I was in the hospital and I had to really on there phone for phone calls but they didn't let you take calls after like 11pm. So if you wanted to talk to someone then you had to call out to them... which was quite a pain for me seeing as I didn't remember anyone but my close families cell phone numbers. In all I think this might of scared me in to trying to living a better life, eating healthier then I have been as well trying to be a bit more active. I am grateful for what I have and I think I have taken advantage of this as of late.
