We know you are a fighter, Gail.  You can get over this bump.  I will say prayers that they find the source of the fever and you start recovering.  Sending love   :grouphug;

Here's Lee's latest post:

Hi everyone. I just got back from the hospital and am happy to report that Gail is doing much better.She is still in a cubby hole in the emerg but should be in a proper room by tonight.The doctors are not worried about her kidney and feel it is some infection elsewhere.Gail is on some major antibiotics and she will not be released untill she has no fever for 48 hours.They still are not sure what is wrong but it could be her gall blader. I told Gail she should have a velcro incision so they could take out and put in organs at will.At any rate Gail is feeling good and telling me how she could make the emerg run more efficiently,something about mace and a riding crop.Better them than me. Thanks for the support Lee

Sending hugs Gail  :cuddle; This is good news, but I'll be happy when they figure out what it is. :cuddle;

Hi everyone
I'm on the computer at the hospital where they got me up from ER yesterday afternoon.  They think (and I agree especially since I had suggested this diagnosis) that I have a flare up of diverticulitis probably a bit from all the seeds and fibre and fruit (raspberries especially) that I love.  They considered some other nonsense too, like gall bladder but all was ruled out.  Back on a couple of antibiotics and had my stent removed today.  I feel way better and did 29 laps around the atrium which is a pretty good walk.
I'm not on the transplant floor but in the cardiac one and that alone strengthens all my resolve about eating healthy food.  I asked the doc about the seeds etc but she said to change nothing that in the long run what has likely caused my diverticulitis is the overprocessed renal diet.  She likes how everything looks, including me which is quite hilarious since my hair is once again a dangerous substance. My creatinine has been floating between 77 and 83 (Canadian scale).
I'm scheduled to go home tomorrow afternoon which will mark 48 hours with no fever.

 :flower; Gail, so happy to hear the news. I bet that fever was from that stent, glad that it's gone. You take care of yourself now (which I know you will) and try to rest just a little or Lee might have that paper route for you sooner then you want.  :cuddle;
