Fever Gone! - Tuesday - September 29, 2009

A 24 hour period finally elapsed between 10 p.m. on Sunday and 10 p.m. on Monday without any fever so I was able to return to work. Thank God! It was a great feeling to get into my car and drive to work for the first time in days. I did actually inform the oncologist about what had transpired over the previous five days at the suggestion of my nurse friend, Marge, and Marilyn. I had to chuckle after the conversation ended though. He thanked me for supplying him with the information but expressed the desire to know of my condition as it was happening. I was honest. I told him I knew he would have given me antibiotics as a normal protocol and I did not want to lay a stronger burden on my immune system than was already apparent. Although it would have been a difficult phone call to make, I reassured him that if the fever had gotten out of hand, he would have been contacted.
