Well we finally got them to realize at the clinic that things were not right. I had a fever there and was sent for a Chest X-ray. When I got home I took some tylenol and went to bed for a nap. When I woke up, I felt really, really hot. My temp was 103.8F, even higher than when I ran a fever 11 days ago. We called the clinic, and they told us to come into the hospital for different abx. On the drive to the hosp, we got a call from the PA in the clinic. My Chest X-ray is showing a Right Middle Lobe pneumonia. So that is why I have been so sick, so feverish. That is why I have felt so fatigued.
It isn't good to have pneumonia, but at least now I know why I have been feeling so bad.-taf

Hang in there, Tree. Maybe with the new antibiotics, that nasty fever and body aches will go away. I'm thinking about you constantly.
Love,
Beth
