Oh Gail, that is good news. You had us worried in the beginning! Once we found out that your kidney function was doing well, we just wanted them to find out what was causing the fever, treat it and send you home!
Welcome back! Take care!

I've been thinking about you a lot these past few days, Gail and I sure am happy to hear that it's nothing too serious and that you'll be home soon.
Take care!

Today's update from monrein's hubby:
Hi guys.I saw Gail yesterday as usual. She is continuing to feel better although her temp still fluctuates during the day.When I was there her temp was normal [36.6C].I told her it must be my soothing personality.I wont bother telling you what Gail said.The doctors were in as well and I am beginning to realize no one is quite sure what is specifically causing this problem. They know it is an infection and it is responding to antibiotics but the rest is unclear.Right after the transplant Gails temp was elevated and it is possible this current situation could have started then.As a result the docs are going to do more cat scans etc and of course keep up the IV antibiotics.The good news is that Gails new kidney is working well and this problem is not related to it.Got to go and pick up Trish. Take care Lee

Thanks everyone for your messages of support and I know I have a few PM's to reply to and I will eventually.
I'm feeling much better but still no one really understands why this fever thing is happening or where the infection is. I've been tested up down and sideways, everything looks fine, creatinine was 82 yesterday...what can I say other than that I feel like a very very boring episode of House. Still, boring is much better than dramatic. At first they seemed to think that my failed transplant was going necrotic, now they don't but aren't sure so yet another ultrasound is on the schedule for today. My sister is here for a six day visit and I'm beyond pissed that she has to come see me in hospital. Okay, I'll now try to be patient again.
I'll be back more regularly as soon as I can. Hugs to everyone.
Gail

So glad to hear from you, Gail! Sorry about your hospitalization and the slow process of determining the cause. But, as you said, boring is definitely better than dramatic. I'm hoping things get sorted soon so you can get back to posting regularly and sharing your wisdom. We are all here for you. Keep us updated. |

Gail, it's wonderful to see you posting. I sure pray they get to the bottom of this. Did you have a stent put in? Just wondering if that could be causing problems? Keep us posted and please take care of yourself. |

I'm finally back at home and had dinner here instead of the yucky hospital attempts at food. I'm so glad that Trish and Lee don't have to visit me there any more. I'm feeling good, no more pain and the docs no longer seem inclined to think it's my old kidney. I had another ultrasound just before being discharged and everything apparently looked good. Now, can we just pretend this little episode never happened?
