Back to the hospital....

Well, I have been fighting this fever since Labor Day. Got platelets yesterday and fever was 102.3 last nite, and I took 2Tylenol and decided it is time to go to the hospital to get checked out....again.........I flat out just feel lousy, and there is no quality of life to lying on the couch all day, and going to bed at sweating all night.........
Between the low counts, the fevers, increased need for blood (now weekly!) and the GI issues and now hemorrhoids (to add insult to injury), I figured its time to get all of the above addressed at once. I hate the risk of going in, but at the same time, don't want to be here alone at 3am with a raging fever.

The gator is snapping at my toes once more, and I am determined to let him starve!
