SO, SO SICK. You might think that the major night-sweats back in November would have tipped me off that something was physically wrong with me, but I waited until the 104 fevers started in late January to see a doctor. They said flu in the emergency room, my doc said sinus infection. Weird pains in my ankles and then the swelling that got them to do an ultrasound and they found the blood clot in my leg. The next day I had a call “we’ve found a lot of bacteria in your blood and we want you to go to the emergency room right away”. Endocarditis.
8 days in the hospital, fevers over 105 (trippy), and a lush forest of strep bacteria growing inside my heart. I just finished 6 weeks of daily IV infusions of antibiotics and I’m still really tired
but I feel a good deal better and hope to get back to making some interesting stuff to put up here.
As the State is a soulless machine, it can never be weaned from the violence to which it owes its very existence. -Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948)
