Fever and chills continued Tuesday night and restarted with a vengeance Wednesday night.  Starts with chills so bad that I can't stop shaking.  I get under the covers, pile on as many blankets and I can find and put the portable heater on high.  After 3-4 hours the chills convert to a melting fever.  Got up over 103 this time.  Went to the ER Thursday morning and they gave me fluids and a script for cipro.  Followed up with my oncologist the next day.  She asked if I made an appointment with my new GI doc yet.  I sheepishly say "no".  She gives me a heavy sigh and said that she can't fix the problem and offers to set the appointment.  GI appt set for Monday am - thank you doc!  When I feel lousy I become a pitiful advocate for myself.

 

Met with GI doc today.  While he is not as personable as my doc at Hershey, I was impressed with his knowledge.  We were able to schedule the next ERCP for Friday morning.  I should be home from the hospital by the end of the weekend.
