Our day didn't quite go the way we had planned. I felt like I had some kind of bug yesterday and I had a low grade fever that switched to shivering so much that I could not hold a plate with food on it. During the night in bed I would wake up sweating and when I would try to settle back to sleepy land, I would go through another several minutes shivering. I'm not big on running to the doctor but my sinuses were way out of wack along with my face features were literally distorted they were so full of infection. Teresa knows how I am with doctors but when she said "you want to think about going in?", I agreed and off we went to the ER in Columbia which is about 40 miles away. We have a hospital a lot closer but they aren't the most impressive facility around.
They ran several meds through an IV but they kept me there for several hours since the doc was concerned about my airway getting blocked but the swelling had gone down enough that they let me go around 1:00.
There is no way to be absolutely positive but he said that med I take for blood pressure has the reputation for everything I had going and that was enough for me. I got to looking back to this past spring and when I got bitten by a deer fly, the exact same thing happened so the doc wrote me a script for another BP med.
it does the trick.
