Sorry to hear about issues with blood work Borg. Hope everything is okay. Have they got plan to resolve?
Morning Ken & thanks.
So what happened was they called, said my blood work showed some infection & they needed to re-evaluate me.
I was going to go shopping & then to the hosp, but I called back & said define re-evaluate. She made it sound like they just needed some more blood samples, so I figured I'd just stop in & give some samples & be done, in & out.
They check me in, take me to a room, tell me to put a gown on, hook up an IV to me & start an AB. Meanwhile someone comes in to do a chest X Ray, then they do an EKG, then they ask for a urine sample & take about 15 vials of blood.
They kept me there till the tests came back, right now the preliminary looks good but of the samples that take a day or 2 to process come back positive again, then back I go.
I thought I would be in/out & that didn't work out so well, but I should be glad they're catching possible problems.
Morning Beeman & the kitterz.
Thanks, not really a blood problem so much as it's showing a possible infection somewhere in my body, or possible an organ failure
Thanks kado.
Thank you Ken.
Guess we'll have to see, but at least they're catching stuff. Not crazy about the idea of being in a hospital but this time I noticed the ER was pretty closed off, you have to be escorted back there, everyone is checked thoroughly before going back & some of the staff even have their masks off. I asked what was up with that & they said this area was considered safe since all precautiones are taken.
Still made me nervous seeing some without masks. New news report says 35% of Covid cases are asymptomatic & show no signs of any kind while still being contagious.
Asymptomatic COVID-19 cases may be more common than suspected
Good morning, Ken. Teresa and I did the grocery shopping yesterday. Four stores later, we were exhausted.
Good morning, Borg. It's wet out there, and is predicted to stay that way. High today will be 75°.
Good luck, Borg. I hope all the tests prove you're just fine.
