Tominator Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Waiting for a call back from the surgeon. He was in surgery. If I was a betting man, I'd say next step is CT scan, hopefully soon. Feel like crap still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Glad your fever broke Chris, hope you get to feeling better and it is nothing but a bug. Based on experience, pretty sure it's not the flu. 99.5% sure it's pancreas related. Just hope it's not a recurrence of the cancer. Worst case scenario is more surgery. Best case scenario is a little fluid pocket they'll treat with antibiotics. Nurse got back with me and as expected, the doc ordered a CT and some blood work. Just waiting on the scheduler to get back with me now to let me know when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 CT is tomorrow morning at 8:45. Got to thinking a little bit ago, I'll bet that stupid stump grinding is what did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 CT showed a fluid pocket around where my spleen used to be. White cell count was 23,000, which is pretty high if I remember correctly. Going down to the clinic today to see what the next step is. The good news is I'm feeling better. Hopefully he'll just try and knock this out with antibiotics and check it again in a month or so. Wish me luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 875 mg of Augmenton for a month is the plan right now. They took more blood and if my white cell count is up from yesterday's 23K, I'm off to the hospital for some IV antibiotics. No mention of draining the pocket, which is good news for me. Keep praying folks, I think it's working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
