[OT] The medical oddyssey

Okay, bactrack: pulled muscle groups, Alleve, breathing spasms, frequent
vomiting, doctor ( now fired) who pretty much disregarded my concerns.

Regular Doctor says, "Let me take a look at the back." and "That is no
longer a pulled muscle, but a massive infection."

In one simple statement, I'm 'good'. After nearly a full day in ER, I have
a room, a couple high doses of antibiotics, nearly managed to notify folks,
and a diet cola.

I expect to be here for three days.


Hugs and Purrs,
Mark

Get well soon, Mark. Do the hospital allow "Pets As Therapy"
animals to visit? :-)

Sending purrs for a good recovery. We are so glad you finally did the
sensible thing. Did they locate the source of the trouble? Best
wishes. MLB

I'm glad you got a decent doctor and the right treatment!!

Get well. You must be pretty sick indeed if the hospital is keeping
you for 3 whole days. Purrs from my gang!

The cats are sending their best healing purrs over for you. I thought
that that high BG indicated an infection. I'm glad you found a doctor
who bothered to find out what was wrong. Get well soon!

I'm glad you're being treated. My guess is that you have someone you trust
who will take care of your cats, because otherwise you'd be worrying about
them.

A massive infection is obviously not good news, but an accurate
diagnosis and treatment is great news. Here's to you being back on
your feet within a week and wriring scathing letters to your first
doctor.

Not to mention the fever! How could the first doctor overlook that??
Report his ass!!

Whenever you feel anger, you should say, "May I be free of this
anger!" This rarely works, but talking to yourself in public will
encourage others to leave you alone.

Glad youare getting the treatment you need and that you are now 'good'.
Purrs for your continued recovery... and once you are well enough, write to
some authority to complain about that idiot doctor who - had youtaken their
advice - would have most likely killed you with neglect.

Thank you God!

Not that you have an infection, but that you are finally getting
proper treatment for it! I hope you aren't the only one that fired
that useless and dangerous excuse for a doctor the dismissed your
symptoms.

Please get well ASAP. We will be purring up a storm.
