So I've officially been in this time for longer than my actual transplant, guh! The results were never completely conclusive, but they're calling it suspected meningitis, so that involved a 15 day course of the strongest antibiotics known to mankind (+ iv aciclovir and a much stronger antifungal, then tons of mineral ivs since the antibiotics were leaching out my magnesium, calcium, phosphates, potassium, etc). So I've been hooked up more this time than during the transplant, too.
But what bothered the drs is that I still continue to have a low grade fever and mild headaches despite being pumped full of the above, so to try to find the source, I had 2 lumbar punctures (spinal taps), a chest xray, a ct scan, an MRI, an echo heart ultrasound, and, lucky me, my day 56 BMB during all this, too. Bleurgh.
But they found absolutely nothing wrong with me and the antibiotic course has finished so they're letting me go home today or tomorrow since I'm local and they can't do much about the fever and headaches whether I'm here or there! So I'm fine with that!! I'm getting really sick of being in here and just want my own bed and my own food and to pet my cat.
