Meat Wagon

Well, as you know I had been struggling to recovery from my crohn's relapse.  This past Saturday night I took myself to the ER.  After being evaluated, the doctor informed me that I was being transferred to Madigan Army Medical Center in Fort Lewis, WA.  I knew I was sick but I didn't think I was that sick.  I was so dehydrated they didn't know how I was still functioning.  I had 9, NINE, IV bags of fluid, 5 rounds of IV treatment.  Was put on diabetic diet due to the steroids raising my blood sugar and had to receive insulin during my stay.  I had severe throat pain so they planned to do a EDG on me.  They wanted to do colonoscopy at the same time but I couldn't drink that nasty crap with my throat on fire.  So it was cancelled.  The EDG came back good.  They said the reason for the throat pain is a fungal infection which is side effect/cause of me taking Humira.  So, basically I can't win for losing.

After 4 days at home I'm glad to be back home.  I'm on a crap load of medications but I'm hanging in there.  Thanks for all the well wishes from all my friends and family.
