Things didn't go so well today at the cancer center. I had a temperature of 102.7, but the strange thing was, it didn't feel like I did to me. Every other time I have been at 102 or more, I have felt horrible, weak, unsteady on my feet, and aching all over. My ears would be hot and my hands cold. None of that today, though. I felt fine, walked fine, my ears were cool and my hands were warm. I had to get stuck two more times for blood draws (three needles in one day! I hate needles!), pee in a cup and have chest x-rays. I have some mystery infection... maybe. My nurse practitioner and the staff are baffled. I said, "I'm just a strange man." She said they knew that already so I didn't have to prove it some more. I got some anti-biotics and will start on them in the morning. If I start feeling terrible, I was told to go to the ER right away.
