And it continues...

Today I came home from work and felt terrible. I was suddenly freezing and absolutely exhasuted. I took my temperature and it was slowly creeping up and hit 102. I NEVER get fevers like that so it scared me. I've not had the normal gall-stone pains today, just some dull aches, but this fever was wicked. It all scared me pretty badly I have to admit.

I called the on call Doctor @ Hopkins and they said for now I have to "ride it out." Since I'm not having acute crippling pain they aren't really sure what it is. I have to hydrate like crazy, and if I get a fever again I have to go to the ER. I sure hope this fever stays away as does the pain.

This totally sucks because we were supposed to go to the Orioles game tonight with visiting family. I felt terrible that we had to cancel and am so dissapointed that this is happening.

I just hope that whatever is going on in there makes it's way out....painlessly and quitely. :(

From new shoes to phantom pains...

I was ecstatic today to see the package laying on my front step this evening. Ahhh, my new running shoes have arrived. I can't wait to break them in tomorrow! This week started week 3 of my plan. I ran my 2 miles this afternoon and felt great afterwards!! Looking forward to tomorrow with the new shoes to break in...

In other health stuff, I've been having phantom gallbladder pains, uncool. I'm not sure what it's about, but I'm watching it and hoping it goes away on it's own. Otherwise Hopkins will know on Thursday. I'm wondering if I have a gallstone, or sludge, or a blocked bile duct? I had my gallbladder out in 2003 so I haven't felt this pain for a while.

We had a great night tonight eating crabs and hanging out on the water with family that is up visiting from Florida. We rarely get to see them, so it was wonderful :)
