Well, my optimism of last week was perhaps a bit premature. The antibiotics prescribed by my family physician were not aggressive enough, and it turns out he misdiagnosed me. He was CLOSE, but not quite right.
I've just returned home today from several days in the hospital. Constant poking and prodding, testing, drugs, I.V.s, shots, pills - and not NEARLY enough sleep. There were several things feeding off of each other, but it's been contained and controlled and the doctor (different one[s]) are certain of a recovery as long as I follow up with things.
Lovely. Just what I needed after staring a new job 2 months ago - to be off work, hospitalized, and absent for nearly 3 weeks
in toto.
In any event, I'm home now, confined to rest for the next few days and cleared for work beginning next week. I should be back in business, full-swing, by then. :-)
