So, as alluded to on Facebook: This past Shabbat afternoon (the tail end of Chanukah) found me in the Urgent Care getting diagnosed with pyelonephritis. It's basically a complication of untreated ( TMI ). Fever of 100.9, up from 99.2 before bed Friday night.
I narrowly escaped getting sent to the Cambridge ER for IV antibiotics: "... You should be out in a couple days." "I *what*???" Two minutes later: "You're not having any nausea, right? Okay, you'll probably be OK with a 14-day course. No, actually, we'll make it 7. Get this filled." So![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
justom took me home and I spent 8 hours flat on the couch watching movies while my fever broke, then slept for the next 10, laid around for the next 10, etc.
And today I'm back at work. Trying to take it easy, but back on my feet. Modern medicine +1.
... Not bad timing for the Snowpocalypse, really. If I had to drop out for two days, those were good ones. It did blow away all my plans of getting family Xmas presents wrapped and shipped Saturday night, but hey.
